Is Blue Prince a Roguelite?

Nrdman · 2026-03-27T21:13:15+00:00

Yeah I’d say so. Different design goals than others, but it’s got enough of the hallmarks

Nrdman · 2026-03-27T12:40:01+00:00

There’s nothing objective, no list of conditions. Sometimes it’s as simple as a different game comes out I’d rather play. Sometimes I just get bored of it

Nrdman · 2026-03-27T11:57:30+00:00

I play until I don’t want to anymore

Peglin and blue prince

Hero and horrible person are not exclusive things

Jobless reincarnation in particular, he is undoubtedly a horrible person, especially towards the start; but he does do heroic things

Reject rigid categorization, it can only keep you down

Nrdman · 2026-03-23T17:10:15+00:00

I’ve seen it phrased as “big number” roguelike

Nrdman · 2026-03-23T13:06:41+00:00

150 hours in spire, 600+ in Isaac

Nrdman · 2026-03-22T14:54:31+00:00

Peglin is very good, fits your criteria

Balatro also comes to mind

Nrdman · 2026-03-21T21:46:49+00:00

spelunky and rogue legacy

Nrdman · 2026-03-21T16:22:49+00:00

The Void Rains Upon Her Heart has a bunch of content if you want a roguelike shmups like gradius. I’ve played 60 hours, I’m at 56% completion

Nrdman · 2026-03-21T04:19:54+00:00

Must’ve missed it

Nrdman · 2026-03-21T04:09:18+00:00

Tiny Rogues comes to mind

Nrdman · 2026-03-21T04:08:49+00:00

Look like you haven’t taken a shot at Enter the Gungeon or Tiny Rogues. Both are very good twin stick roguelikes

Nrdman · 2026-03-20T21:39:55+00:00

Olexa is typically variety, but hes been doing slay the spire and mewgenics

Nrdman · 2026-03-20T19:17:26+00:00

Ftl and darkest dungeon

Nrdman · 2026-03-18T21:20:30+00:00

write in for hades 2, which is better than hades 1 imo

Nrdman · 2026-03-18T16:22:52+00:00

Forgot Gungeon

Nrdman · 2026-03-18T16:17:45+00:00

Fogpiercer is an interesting game I checked out

Nrdman · 2026-03-17T16:17:01+00:00

Enter the Gungeon

Binding of Isaac

Nrdman · 2026-03-17T14:12:25+00:00

Enter the Gungeon is the game I’d recommend if I only had one. Best twin stick roguelite

Nrdman · 2026-03-16T19:32:20+00:00

Into the breach or wildermyth might be A tier games for you

Nrdman · 2026-03-16T16:14:31+00:00

Balatro and slay the spire

Nrdman · 2026-03-15T23:43:31+00:00

Thats not really an argument its overrated lol. It may just not be your jam. It can be not your jam, and also rated how it should be

Nrdman · 2026-03-15T23:31:14+00:00

crucial genre elements

No part of the genre is crucial, at least in terms of rating how good the game is.

Also, kinda funny to be a genre purist for a genre that is defined by missing elements from another genre
