Apparently roguelikes are really fucking cool and I've been sleeping on this genre like a complete asshole. What are the best of the best of the best roguelikes?

start with Rogue

>>713242647
does that mean i have to start with Mario bros on the NES if I want to get into side scrollers?

>>713242589 (OP)
Risk of Rain 2 is objectively a top 3 rougelike of all time
Binding of Isaac if you fucking hate yourself

>>713242589 (OP)
Balatro.
Stay away from Slay the Spire. About 99% of its cards are either extremely weak or have unusable conditions, I've no idea how it gained popularity

>>713242720
you really should play Super Mario Bros. for the nes if you haven't.

>>713242764
calling balatro roguelike is peak mental retardation

>>713242720
Smb is not the first platformer, but it is the first good one. Rogue is also the first good roguelike, no one is recommending you play dnd (75).

>>713242804
i did back in 1992 and had a lot of fun but the snes version was better

>>713242887
Go on, we're all very interested in how you articulate this point

Dungeon crawl stone soup

>been sleeping on this

>>713242939

>>713243030
haha yeah man, I will stop having fun and enjoying things immediately

can you leave now?

Transmute your limbs into banana meat, eat them, profit.

>It would appear that my attention to the genre has been mournfully lacking and I wish to rectify this oversight.
thanks for checking me before I wrecking myself

>>713243051
no one said that, are you really retarded?

>>713242764
I like Slay the Spire, but yea some cards are shit and the art style is hideous, so I cant play too much of that game.

>>713243128
worse, he's probably brazilian or, god help us, australian

>he's samefagging now
guess I just wont reply to him then

>>713242589 (OP)
Good Roguelikes
>Zorbus
>Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
>Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
Good Roguelites
>Slasher's Keep
>Nuclear Throne
>White Knuckle

For DCSS and CDDA, try and find a branch that isn't completely skimmed down (DCSS) or bloated with tranny furry content (CDDA)

>>713242589 (OP)
Whenever this ugly ass show would come on TV, I would change the channel.

Vampire Survivors and Balatro are the only two I’ve ever liked. Although, Balatro made my brain feel like it was going to explode so idk if I really *enjoyed* it or just was severely addicted to it. Vampire Survivors was awesome though.

>>713243138
StS mods are really fun, but the basegame is pretty boring. I like VUPShion and going through the Library of Ruina one with mod characters personally.

>>713243169
>>Nuclear Throne
looks fun

>>713242589 (OP)
Balatro
Fights in Tight Spaces
Sifu

Those are the only ones I enjoyed
>ummm ackshually they're this genre
stfu

>>713243378
>Sifu
sifu was a lot of fun, I need to replay that

>>713243409
I'd have enjoyed it a lot more if I didn't have to learn strings with low attacks in them, but it was fun nonetheless

>>713242589 (OP)
Caves of Qud
ADOM
DCSS

If you want an easier time:
Elona
Elin
The Doors of Trithius (Early Access)

>I'm new to roguelikes, recommend me some
>DURRRRRRRRRRR PLAY CDDA IT'S THE BEST

wow dude you're so cool!

>>713242589 (OP)
roguelike in the normal (e.g. rogue and nethack) or modern (randomized game) context?

DCSS is the only good roguelike

>>713243462
>Elin
elin is a roguelike? i thought it was some chinese cultivation rimworld townbuilder

let's see
>vampire survivors
>halls of torment
>loop hero
>hades 1
>faster than light
>cult of the lamb
these were good

>>713243631
I didn't play Elin yet but I liked Elona.
It was a non-permadeath roguelike which I really appreciate and it had some survival elements and life sim elements too.

>>713242589 (OP)
Binding of Isaac, Hades, Dead Cells. Inscryption is worth playing but only rogue when you unlock it. Immortal Redneck is a personal favorite.

>>713242980
"sleeping on something" is a fucking ancient phrase in English you zoomer idiot

Enjoy, man.

>>713242589 (OP)
Rogue (1980)

>>713243693
I don't think Survivors counts but if it does check out Soulstone Survivors
fucking fun, I picked it up a few days ago

>>713242589 (OP)
Of the ones I've played:
>S: Risk of Rain 2
>A: Binding of Isaac Rebirth
>B: Roboquest
>C: Enter the Gungeon

>>713244157
Gungeon is fun but I fucking suck at it, and have to constantly look up any synergies I get. A lot of trashy guns too sadly, I feel like I get the most done just getting a single OP weapon, chunking the boss to death.

what was the first webgame like roguelite? luck be a landlord?

>>713242589 (OP)
Depends what you want to play really there's so many forms now fps, tactic, twinstick, basebuilding, deckbuilding

Tales of Maj'Eyal

>>713242589 (OP)
Roguelikes/lites suck ass.
They are all bare bones, repetitive, and are just a lazy/easy, way to turn 3 or 4 levels into a 50 hour game. The worst ones are the ones that completely limit your character via "meta progression" so that you can't possibly beat the game until you grind out the arbitrary "progression" perks first. What a shit genre for absolute retards.
