Roguebreaker Reviews

This is a decent brick breaker game. Nice and juicy. It has a built-in level editor - I always appreciate that sort of thing. The brick types are less distinguishable than I'd like, but that's the biggest negative. Anyway... here's a place where you can play Rogue online: https://playclassic.games/games/role-playing-dos-games-online/play-rogue-online/play/ Yes, that's the same "Rogue" that "Roguelikes" are supposed to be, uh, like. You may notice, after you get over the early-80s "graphics," that Rogue is not in fact very much like this game at all. Nor is it very much like Slay the Spire, or Inscryption, or whatever the heck else people insist on tagging as "roguelike" these days. Do people call Balatro a roguelike? I bet they do. I bet people call a ham sandwich a roguelike. This is a pity, because there are some very good *actual* roguelikes on Steam - and it is increasingly impossible to find them amongst the "roguelikes." They're there if you dig enough. I liked Dungeons of Dredmor and Sword of the Stars: The Pit. But none of that has anything to do with this game beyond its title and description. It's a solid game. I'm giving it a thumbs-up. I just wish it had titled itself differently. (I wish that of most games with "Rogue" in the title anymore.)
