Windblown shows how good roguelikes can be with friends
It’s so fun to annihilate baddies with other people.
It's excellent in single player too.
its still wierd to me athat non ascii things are refered to as roguelike.
I mean, its not about the art style, its about the gameplay loop.
The idea is that "roguelike" = a game like Rogue, which according to some people, requires checking most if not all of the boxes including ASCII, proc-gen, perma-death, turn-based, ... while the term "rougelite" is less strict. But I think we're past the point of that distinction being adopted into mainstream.
Yeah I guess for me it originally about a game I could play on the terminal that had such complexity.
You can co-op Vagante and Streets of Rogue as well. Both are fantastic in single player and multiplayer, and both allow offline local multiplayer; Streets of Rogue even has LAN.
There was some drama when Motion Twin announced they were pivoting to this and stopping updates to Dead Cells. The lead Dev got a little feisty on Discord and the Tweets, as I recall. I hope this was worth it... I've been playing DC since it dropped, so I was sad to hear they were cancelling more updates.
