It's funny that this roguelike is advertised as a roguelite and most roguelites are advertised as roguelikes.

Yeah, the word "roguelike" seems to have rapidly lost its meaning these past couple of years.

I played a *lot* of rogue in the early 80s. I can't remember a single game marketed as a "roguelike" that I've played that reminded me of playing rogue.

I haven't played Rogue, but I've played a lot of Moria, Nethack, and AdoM. Those are what I think of when I hear "Roguelike", although even AdoM might be stretching it a bit with its massive non-random outdoor area.
