      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I'm not sure if this can be posted on the terrafirmacraft forums because this is a minecraft in general topic but i'll put it in here because I wanted to talk about it..

 

So, what is a Roguelike game? A Roguelike is game characterized by random level generation, and perma-death. This is partly true with minecraft. It is true with minecraft in the fact that the world is all randomly generated and infinite. While minecraft does not have perma-death by default, it is an option in the starting menu by putting the gamemode on hardcore mode.

 

So, that's it! Comment your opinion down below, tell me what you think, and thanks for reading!

Maybe, if you ignore the whole turn-based aspect.

... and ascii aspect.

 

With your elements of comparison, life in scientific POV is a roguelike (world randomly generate and perma-death)

If we ignore half of roguelike aspects we can say that Minecraft is roguelike? It doesn't work like that :)

 

Procedural level generation - yes

Items varies across games -no, every item in the game is completely the same in another game

The combat system is turn-based instead of real-time - no

Permadeath -only as an option, and game designed for multideath gameplay, so, mostly no

 

There's only 1 aspect of roguelike game there, it's not enough. It's just like saying "Minecraft is shooter, because you can shoot arrows"

Well I guess the reason why I thought that minecraft was a roguelike was because the only games I have ever seen or played that where rogue likes where not turn based (such as FTL, although the jump beacons overlay is turn based when you jump from one beacon to the next, the fighting sequences are real time).

FTL has some roguelike features, but it's not roguelike. It "is a top-down, real time strategy"©Wiki

Authors call it roguelike-like game :D
