Roguelike of the Year - getting the list sorted

[kraflab]

I'm confused as to what difference it makes.  Let the people decide by either clicking or not clicking, and add <NSFW> tags if you want to make sure people don't investigate a game they've never heard of and get more than they bargained for.  I haven't played any of the games in question, so I can't comment specifically, but if anyone vouches for any of them then I think they ought to be on the list.  It's your list though...

  There should be no confusion.

  He doesn't want any disgusting rape shit in his poll.

I think it's curious how no one questions things like murder and genocide being the premise of all these games but any sexual content at all immediately brings up questions and opposition 

[getter77]

Ultimately, this is one of those cases that comes down to the Gestalt of the thing.  If Sex in a Roguelike is to gain acceptance along more risque lines, it has to likely be paired with strong gameplay that isn't subservient to it as opposed to just another well integrated system/element----something that has yet to be visibly accomplished in the mainstream industry as well as it so happens outside the laughable Bioware takes on it of late.   While it is illogical in the grand scheme of things that Sex has a bit of a hoop to jump through versus violence, racism, etc in the game context---that's just how things have happened to play out with society on the whole.....has to be duly reckoned through much as it was in film and print in times past and they still have to reckon it thusly.

Emphasis added is mine. If you were to replace the expression in bold with 'explicit and violent sexual content' I would be inclined to agree.

Plus, premise of most roguelike games is conflict, not murder or genocide. The latter two carry nontrivial penalties in quite a few games. Titles that feature only things that want to kill you excepted.

We're getting quite sidetracked by this point. Can we get back to helping Andrew with the rest of the list?

[kraflab]

Is Through on the list?  It's got an interesting take on wands.  Definitely a roguelike It was originally released in 2010, but the most recent update is October 2012.

Doesn't have a RogueBasin page, so good shout.

Is Through on the list?

Yes. With latest release on October 20th it qualifies.

Good idea.

Flatspace had a release in Feb. Not sure it's claiming itself to be rogue inspired, more likely elite, but I would like to see it included. I'd vote for it.

It has no Roguebasin entry. I think this problem will continue as people tend to concentrate on forums and having their own website. You know?

This might be another resource for finding games:

http://www.indiedb.com/games?filter=t&kw=Search+...&released=1&style=44&theme=&indie=&type=1

It's a search on indiedb for games classified as single-player roguelikes that have been released (conveniently listed in order of most recent release).  Someone will have to vouch for their roguelikeyness though (*cough* perhaps getter ).

Some are definitely not, like FTL and 99 levels to hell (which is a platform shmup if I remember correctly )

[Darren Grey]

FTL is totally my roguelike of the year

[getter77]

99 Levels to Hell would count by my reckoning, also the dev generally listing it as such on there---just a different take on things ala Red Rogue and others.  That list looks to be handy though, some I'd lost track of after their initial Greenlight bid out from nowhere and all.

Looks good to me.  Though is it worth clarifying that it's Dwarf Fortress: Adventure Mode and Diablo 3: Hardcore Mode?
