Extreme replayability and randomization, game situations that change every time you play again and again, and high difficulty levels that are not easily solved on the first try... Without unlockables and specialized skill techniques over multiple play-throughs, it's hard to beat the game and see the ending. But this genre has the advantage of being enjoyable for a long time. If you don't get bored, of course. But in a way, I personally don't like the idea of constant failure and replayability for "one step forward". All of our games have some sort of narrative structure to them, and the narrative has an introduction, it has an arc, and it requires the player to successfully navigate through what's come before in order to get to the conclusion. So the roguelike genre is actually something we don't do very often (even though some of the team really enjoy it), and we've learned a lot from our previous game, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/904380/Vambrace_Cold_Soul/]Vambrace: Cold Soul[/url]. The difficulty curve in this game is also designed to not encourage players to fail, and we're hoping that after a long battle, you'll achieve something in this dungeon. Of course, there's a lot of randomness that keeps the game from becoming repetitive, but it's entirely up to the player to try out different legion (synergy) combinations to keep the game fresh. (In other words, it's a game where we want the player's choices to enrich the game). Regardless, it's a game with rogue-elements. However, I would like to point out to players that there is the main dish out of the genre, and it can be eaten multiple times, because the rouge-lite sauces are varied to make the main dish delicious. That's it for the "roguelike" part of Vambrace: Dungeon Monarch! Next time I will tell you more about the Monarch.
