I've got a 40 € gift card for #Steam and I like to play rogue-likes/-lites similar to Diablo, action rpgs and rogue-em-ups (like #Absolum). I don't like Survivor-type games like Jotunnslayer (while the game certainly looks to be awesome. Still.)
Genre-wise, I'm into Fantasy, Science Fiction and, to some extent, horror.
What are your suggestions for my next purchase(s)?
I've played Torchlight, Dead Cells, Heretical, SWORN, TMNT
@thorsten I sort of like roguelikes and I sort of don't. It's difficult to get into the true roguelikes because they're so darned complex. The obvious thing that comes to mind might be Caves of Qud as it's a true roguelike, but it's very complex!
Tangledeep is a roguelike many miss. It has good style and heart, but a few shortcomings. (Weird job system, etc.) The areas have pretty decent thematic style, but maybe not the best procgen algorithms too.
One of my favorite games is probably not what you're looking for but I'm not quite sure since the post is a little bit vague: Empyrion. Everything is procgen, but it's a first person game with survival and building (not "Survivor"!) mechanics primarily. (Like 7D2D, Valheim, etc, but you build space ships and fly to other worlds.)
@thorsten Alright. I hate that the term "roguelike" has lost its original meaning, but there you have it. Technically "roguelite" seems to be the official proper term for this. I'm starting to just call roguelike games that are like Rogue "likerogues" because the term is so broken now.
I largely burned out on those from years of playing the original Diablo 1 & 2 way too stinking much, so I guess I can't suggest as much. Immediately coming to mind would be Torchlight, but that's hardly a new game so you likely already know it. It was pretty good in its time, but somehow the sequel felt pretty gimmicky to me. Since the post is pretty vague, maybe stuff like Dead Cells would qualify, but you likely know it already too, lol.
I know a bunch but keep drawing blanks...
