Editing Roguelike (section)

=== Not quite Roguelikes ===

Roguelike-like games that have the player playing more than one "character" (a single ship is allowed to count as a "character" here), or are fundamentally strategy games rather than RPGs (but are still procedural death labyrinths) go here.

*''[[Dwarf Fortress]]''
:If you don't know what this is how did you even get here? It's got motherfucking [[dwarf|dwarves]], mining, goblin sieges, every other goddamn thing you could imagine, and a bunch you couldn't. Not strictly speaking a roguelike as much as a strategy sim but we can't stay mad at it. The Adventure mode is much closer to the roguelike archetype, but it's not really the main focus.

*''[http://www.darkestdungeon.com/ Darkest Dungeon]''
:What would happen to the people who went into a dungeon, fought monsters and (if they were lucky) came back? The answer: bad things. A solid game with an incredible visual design and audio, you have to manage a platoon of "heroes" by sending them into dungeons, where they can become sickened and scarred, physically and mentally, in order to get loot to build your family's dilapidated (and also horribly cursed) estate up. In its own way it's more [[grimdark]] than 40k is. As a bonus it also contains a healthy amount of [[Lovecraft]]ian abominations.
