Does a game need persistent player upgrades in order to be fun and relevant? This is at the heart of the question around whether or not you prefer roguelikes or roguelites.

Roguelikes include persistent upgrades, roguelikes do not.

Join Stace and John as they discuss the relevant merits of each genre, which they personally prefer and whether or not the distinction between -like and -lites still makes sense given the gaming landscape today.

Games discussed in this episode include:

Spelunky
Spelunky 2
Hades
The Binding of Isaac
Returnal
Dead Estate
Inscryption
FTL: Faster Than Light
Demon's Souls
Nuclear Throne
Rogue Legacy
