ROGUE-FP

It is literally just rogue, in first person. If you like Rogue you should like this by default. Beautiful ascii style.

I love this. So much fun to play Rogue again

Do you like the original Wolfenstein & Doom? What about turn-based dungeon combat & loot? Does the idea of a Doom dungeon crawler that functions like Super Hot sounds interesting? Then this remake of Rogue will do it for you! As someone that's had their first exposer of Rogue-likes/lites from playing Diablo I back in the late 90s and not really a fan of the originals this has somehow clicked in a very pleasant way. So glad I gave this a shot to see where my love for the genre originated from and to see the OG get refreshed with new modern mechanics has hit a joyful spot I didn't think an early 80's game could ever do! The new mode "Dig Dungeon" is the bread and butter of this remake as it changes the basic procedurally generated rectangle room level layout into a more complex & non-square dungeon you tend to see in modern Rogues. The escape of being on a turn-based grid system and is now based on movement makes every millisecond of navigation matter ever more in a good way. A window of information pops up for each enemy you encounter to help you understand why things happened and the crosshair that changes color to tell you that you're within striking range adds more excitement …

The original Rogue in first-person perspective makes it worth every penny. There’s also an Original mode, but I mostly played Classic. It works great with a controller just make sure to set the stick’s deadzone settings correctly.

turns out Rogue is hard

Firstly, I want to just say that the hybrid art style is absolutely beautiful. I wish more games would use this art. For the game play, if you enjoy Rogue, you're going to enjoy this (and more). For those who may have issued with first person dungeon crawlers ( I have benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), I can confirm I had no issues playing this game, and it was a relief as it is truly a joy to play. For the incredibly low price that it is, I think it's well worth playing; especially as it's cheaper than a large cup of coffee!
