  • This article doesn’t interpret the Berlin interpretation correctly. The things the article says are “must haves” are actually just “high value factors” as the post says.

    This list can be used to determine how roguelike a game is. Missing some points does not mean the game is not a roguelike. Likewise, possessing some points does not mean the game is a roguelike.

    So while some of these are deemed important to roguelike, it can be a roguelike without all of those things.

    Now personally I think the debate over the genre is silly, and I don’t think the Berlin interpretation is really accurate anymore. But to be fair to it, it does not say a game has to have everything on that list. Spelunky is a roguelike. Idc what anyone says. Just because it isn’t turn/grid based doesn’t mean it isn’t a roguelike. It has most all the other high value factors, and a handful of the low value factors as well.






  • Well basically these games would likely have not been on mobile at all. Netflix is publishing them for mobile. If I had to guess, I’d say that Netflix approached these devs and offered to publish for them and provide them money for being on their service. For the devs, it’s free money for something they likely weren’t considering in the first place (porting to mobile). I definitely wish the devs would publish themselves (if they have the means) but it’s not how it’s happening unfortunately. And fwiw they are on the play store. You just need to sign in with a Netflix account when the game boots up.
