- redrobein 4y agoWhile people continue to use it in reference to any game with rogue-like like features, I prefer the berlin interpretation http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php/Berlin_Interpretation http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php/Berlin_Interpretation
- dolni 4y ago> is it still the new meaning of basically any game with procedure level generation. It isn't even that. The early access game "Brotato" is described as a roguelike. It does not have procedurally generated levels. Just a square arena.
