Comment on Against the Storm Review - An Ambient Roguelite City Builder

• Knusper@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I’m not saying they’re mutually exclusive, I just find it tricky to draw information from that.

  For example, I correctly assumed this to not be akin to Dungeon Keeper, which would be a city builder like Rogue in the sense of it being a dungeon crawler.
  But at the same, I guess, I assume Against the Storm would have procedural map generation like Rogue did, even though I don’t really consider that typical for city builders.

  And yeah, this fuzziness of the term ‘roguelite’ means I don’t really know how much city builder to expect…

    I agree with you so much. Its not that the two genres can't be mutally exclusive, its the fact that everyone wants to just throw gaming's biggest buzzword at it. I'm just happy that folks have started using 'lite' instead 'like'. Makes it a little easier to navigate.
