Someone hacked Skeletor's account? I bet that link runs viruses. Don't click it.

Pasebin is a legit site, and its content looks legit to me too at first glance.

By the way, I think it is missing Hyper Rogue.

Nah that's still me Krice - never had issues with pastebin.

But damn so many spam accounts posting dodgy links these days on roguetemple.

@mouser: true, more of a roguelite tho.

Not to start an I-am-hollier-than-thou flame, but I am curious. What makes Hyper Rogue a roguelite instead of a roguelike in your opinion?

Low complexity.

Heh, you could arqgue that Rogue itself was not very complex. But I get what you mean.

Hyper Rogue has a Tactical Mode, by the way, in which you can stash orbs in your inventory and use them when you need them. One thing I don't like much about Classic Mode is precisely that you can unlock lots of cool orbs during the game, and not have them around when you need them.
