Weekend Watch: Rougelikes, Rougelites, and Difficulty in Games

Since this week marks the 1.0 launch of Hades II I thought it would be a good time to dive into the roguelike genre. Hades and Hades II are both great examples of roguelites, which are an offshoot of roguelikes. You know what, instead of me trying to explain it all here, why don't you check out the video for our Weekend Watch from Mark at Game Maker's Toolkit.

This week's video is a great overview of the roguelike genre, what makes these games special, and what they mean for players and their mastery of each game. It's a good review for players, to better understand why these games make the decisions they do, but it's also a great video for game developers as it breaks down how to design your own blockbuster roguelike.

Enjoy!

Enjoy your weekend, and make sure you check back with us at GameMinr.com for all the latest gaming news and releases.
