I think it's a interesting question where to place Gloamvault! Honestly, the first person perspective is more of a vibe-gimmick. You can even set the game into a [https://i.imgur.com/iK1LKhc.png top-down 2D mode] which might feel more roguelike-familiar. I think the game does have a bunch of traits that are, for example part of the old berlin interpretation of roguelikes. Random environment generation, Permadeath, Turn-based, Grid-based, Complexity, Resource management, Exploration and discovery, Tactical challenge, Dungeons, Numbers but it also strays from it's path by having a party based fight system with quite different combat resolutions and having a creature collector aspects. I personally think Gloamvault has still a bunch of roguelike DNA in it or it lives in some kind of limbo in between :) -- [[User:BigJk|BigJk]] 08:08, 3 May 2025 (UTC) | :I think it's a interesting question where to place Gloamvault!

::Okay: with two-dimensional overhead map, younger players may consider it roguelike... I only do if with pure (copyable so more terminal than SDL) text-based mode/option. Games with first-person three-dimensional perspective would do well considering if they're like Moraff's Dungeon Pack (Moraff's, Revenge, World, Dungeons) and if that's a new genre worth focusing on, maybe Moraff(Ware)-like, though he made other genre games.--~~ | |||

- I think it's a interesting question where to place Gloamvault! Honestly, the first person perspective is more of a vibe-gimmick. You can even set the game into a top-down 2D mode which might feel more roguelike-familiar. I think the game does have a bunch of traits that are, for example part of the old berlin interpretation of roguelikes. Random environment generation, Permadeath, Turn-based, Grid-based, Complexity, Resource management, Exploration and discovery, Tactical challenge, Dungeons, Numbers but it also strays from it's path by having a party based fight system with quite different combat resolutions and having a creature collector aspects.

- Okay: with two-dimensional overhead map, younger players may consider it roguelike... I only do if with pure (copyable so more terminal than SDL) text-based mode/option. Games with first-person three-dimensional perspective would do well considering if they're like Moraff's Dungeon Pack (Moraff's, Revenge, World, Dungeons) and if that's a new genre worth focusing on, maybe Moraff(Ware)-like, though he made other genre games.--~~
