Amazing, thanks very much for sharing this. Admittedly I was referring to the Berlin interpretation of a roguelike, so I very much appreciate such an extensive breakdown of some of your recommendations. Haven't heard of a handful of these, will be checking them out with time!
Unique in that it spawned its own kind of genre, but in broad strokes they're turn based strategy games.
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is the most popular, and consensus is that after the 5th game, things went downhill significantly, so I wouldn't pay much mind to the ones after that.
Given the popularity of HoMM3, you can find tons of videos online going over its core mechanics, so if youre interested, it's easy to get a better understanding.
They're extremely fun and addicting games. A certain charm to it as well, especially with the third game.
Roguelike recommendations?
