  Rouge Legacy was a very polished and charming game that was released early on in the trend of "rouge lite" games.

  I had endless fun playing it back when it was released in 2013.

  Here's 5 hours of gameplay to give you a flavor of the game.

  FWIW, I was thinking this was the text game rogue(6) :) It is another game

  Weird flex - only the source code is "available" (as opposed to free or open) and all the assets are still proprietary - you'll need to purchase the game for an actual working copy.

  "Genealogical"? Also strange. What's that mean, really?

  PSA: Nethack is still F/OSS, still famous, and still under active development, at version 3.6.7.

  Download it complete, free, and ready-to-play: https://nethack.org/v367/downloads.html

  Or, why install it, when you can create an account on NAO, and play it competitively online! https://alt.org/nethack/
