According to one guy who is probably you, Shiren the Wanderer is very good

Can't vouch for the mystery dungeon games

>>154331679
Also if you want a roguelike on the DS and are comfortable with a bit of homebrew, try POWDER
>>
>>154331679
Why is it me?
I never played the game.
It just has a high asking price and I want to know if it's good first.
I also enjoyed Izuna Unemployed Ninja on DS if that helps.
>>
>>154331553
The PMD series is consistently top notch, but i haven't played the 3D one. I personally suggest playing blue rescue team first, then explorers of time/sky, and then super. The story is surprisingly engaging, its the only series that managed to make me cry over it
>>
>>154332182
>crying over pretend animals
kek
>>
>>154331970
No one really pays for roguelikes here since most of the good ones are free, if that gives you any pointers

There's one guy who's obsessed with Shiren the Wanderer and mentions it whenever people ask what the best roguelike is/what the best mobile roguelike is/best designed roguelike. He hasn't popped up for a while but from his shilling I gather the series is at least decent. You're probably best off not buying it or asking elsewhere
>>
>>154332182
To expand on this, the other MD game that made it over, EOMD, is awful. You're supposed to have a party of 4, but going solo is always better. One class has a stat buff that's permanent. So you can go into dungeon, spam it, leave, repeat, and utterly break the game.

playing past 1am and being bored makes you fault like never before
>>
>>154342540
getting to extended is the easy part with many of the race/class combos, especially demigods.
trying to go through the extensive cesspool of dcss postend that has little to no variation between level just makes your brain activity plummet to braindead-level so you fault like 10turns in a row and die, cause otherwise it is impossible to die.

The messages for a monster passing the MR check and for being immune because they already woke up are different.

I'm pretty new to the genre, how casual/hardcore is tome4 compared to other roguelikes?

>>154375617
It can be very difficult with the proper settings, but it's a stupid kind of difficulty. Honestly, I'd recommend something like Crawl or Brogue or Norrendrin if you've been having trouble with Nethack. Each of those simplify the game a great deal and make it more of a tactical game rather than a trial-and-error simulator. ToME4 is a decent game but it's very different from most other roguelikes and it might teach you some bad habits if you don't have a solid grounding in the genre first.

Spider is doable without rpois and relec though. Not like it's not the same to Snake but that's mostly because the Nagas spitting/enhancing poison are either hard to kill or surrounded by tanks while it's the complete opposite in Spiders except for the occasional Ghost Moths double turning you.

Literally just having rpois and decent ac neuters the bulk of spider's monsters. You're left with spark wasps, orb spiders, entropy weavers, demonic crawlers, emperor scorpions and tarantellas.

Yes, most of the monsters you're going to see in spider are redbacks, wolf spiders and tarantellas. The ones who don't turn into popcorn by slapping rpois or who aren't popcorn on the first place on are very rare by comparison

I mean, i get that they synergize pretty well, with the increased forms AC and 8 rings that don't meld, but it looks more like a late-game fantasy rather than an "easy-mode" Octopode.
Hell, it makes octopodes early game even more of an hell, and the early game is the hardest part of DCSS.

The *corrode is worse than the *confuse, but fuck yes

>>
>>154386024
You trade at least +15 AC from body armor for 8 rings, it's not worth it because even a sling bullet from goblin will taste like yaktaur captain's arrow.

Player typically will fill ring slots with bunch of defensive rings (rF, rC+, rN+, MP+9, wizardry, EV, dex, int, etc).
It's not that great because even with 2 rings slots, you can change resistance on the fly, or drink potion of resistance.

>>154386461
*Corrode and *Confuse rings should be thrown to lava.
>>
>>154387643
That's why you go statueform/dragonform/ozo's. Before that you have 40+ EV in spiderform.
>>
>>154387572
That amulet is not very useful for me since i already have plenty of magic resistance and no use for regen mp or int. rn is good, but i would rather have guardian spirit.
>>154387643
>*Corrode and *Confuse rings should be thrown to lava.
Maybe, but as a spriggan with a quickblade slaying is so incredibly tempting for me. And dex too.
>You trade at least +15 AC from body armor for 8 rings
A transmuter doesn't trade anything since body armor gets melded when you transform, unlike rings.

Just a word of advice in terms of hell effects, be careful when flying over Cocytus' deep waters. There's a hell effect that cancels all of your enchantments reducing its duration to 1 turn or 2 before expiry. Nearly splatted to it and would surely splat if I got the wrong map of Cocytus:7.

Not that much of an XP sink. You only need 16 transmutation. With that you also get irradiate, which is very powerful, hydra form to get rid off all your food problems and yara's violent unravelling for late game buffing mobs. You can do 25 AC 27 GDR just with ozocubu's armor.

I think the basic premise of the idea - clothes getting dirty and gross to wear - was pretty good, even if the execution was just annoying. Being a dirt-encrusted hobo fits the theme of post-apocalyptic survival. Everyone should be covered in blood and shit.

Getting a morale penalty for it was just annoying, though, and cleaning the clothes was a feat on par with building a working car. They were considering something like increased infection chance from cuts instead of morale penalty (before Coolthulhu our lord and saviour pushed the whole thing to an opt-in mod), which would have been nicer, but still a bit annoying. I'd be okay with it being mostly just a cosmetic thing, and maybe suppressing the morale bonus from Stylish. Spending the whole apocalypse wearing the same clothes, coated in the rotten viscera of a hundred zombies, should be a viable playstyle. Otherwise, what's even the point?

You start playing a roguelike.
You remember you need to fucking kill yourself for having shitty taste.
You commit suicide for playing shitty meme games by lazy devs who can't make a decent fucking game and instead rely on "procedural generation" to make their levels and "permadeath" to add replay value to the game instead of handcrafting a unique and interesting world with fluid mechanics that allow satisfying gameplay and the understanding that losing all your progress in a game without any kind of reward for it (ie permanent unlocks like ToME4) is the most ass-backwards bullshit ever.
You kill yourself because youre a goddamn homosexual who is contributing nothing but more festering shovelware and encouraging people to make interesting looking ideas into roguelikes so they don't have to actually do any real work.

I wish there were rpg's similar to roguelikes that are actually good. Baldurs gate 1-2 are the only two that I can think of, but i've played them way too much. Which games do you like?
>>
>>154439280
Dragon form is probably just better for you. Your rings don't meld, so you just lose your shitty squid body for a hot, chisel dragon one.
>>
>>154439669
infinity engine games are great. various rpg series, tactics/strategy RPGs are pretty damn great. I enjoyed old and new xcoms, and old Enix games too. I like more than just RPGs or similar, though it's definitely my favorite genre. I play a lot of other games, even taking time to play "Shitty" games like secret of the magic crystals or spleunker (NES). The only kind of games I don't get into too much are sports games, but I have played a few (mostly enjoying playing around with custom team builder shit to create comedy)

ToME4 is probably the only roguelike I can stand because it feels like you're always making progress. If we're counting shit like Binding of Isaac, that one is great, Enter the Gungeon is great, and Nuclear Throne is okay.
>>
>>154439996
It feels like those games you're not losing out that much if you die because they're fast games I guess. And you have unlocks that you can specifically go for.

Recommend me some good coffeebreak roguelikes that won't make me want to walk into a starbucks and blow my fucking brains out with a shotgun at the front counter
>>
>>154438932
It's complicated. UC adds damage and accuracy. Fighting adds accuracy and hp. tmut adds base damage and possibly survivability based on form. For example, you can try to have high uc and decent fighting/dodge in lair for beating on dyaks. But you can also get high tmut instead and cheese them with blade hands. God choice further muddies it up. As long as you acknowledge straight up that you don't have tabtaur apts. headbutts, and defenses you'll be okay. DrTm is one of the easiest combos to streak with despite spreading its essential skills too wide.

I can see why someone wouldn't like roguelikes (I have to be honest I don't love them, but they're the only thing that requires any thought that i've found lately) Tactics games are great, but I always find myself quitting half way through longwar mod on xcom, just gets repetitive, which I know sounds hilarious coming from someone who plays DCSS.

>>154440463
So definitely focus on one or the other right? So taking the tmut route you have to be a bit smarter and play by your abilities? Also, I never ever know when to train dodging.

Sort of? It's impacted a ton by your race, background, god and floor drops. Whatever you do, you need to ensure you have enough damage to break monster ac. Then you need the survivability from whatever source you use to survive long enough to kill it. tmut's great don't get me wrong. You get some of the highest damage per turn in the game but it costs you.

Play some EV focused minotaurs and merfolk for a bit to get yourself keyed into the EV pacing. 20 in lair is kind of the baseline for slightly less exploding on contact. 25 is kind of but not really alright, and you'd like but wont get 30 ev in time for dyaks without chei. Doesn't hurt to do some MiMo/HOMo/DrMo/DsMo runs just so you get a feel for unarmed combat in general. Having to keep increasing your UC skill or using a form so you have enough damage by the time monsters get better ac is different than the usual just enchant your gear/spam the spell and bump2win It also helps to know a lot about how much damage something actually does so you know what's going to explode you if it actually hits. If you're a Dr remember to spam breathe

Try 6 uc, get spider form to 15-20% fail and some dodging. Get 11uc in time for orc warriors. Get some more dodging and some fighting. Get 15 uc for yakkadoodles. Get some more dodging and get blade hands castable. Then main UC, get some fighting and dodging, and a little tmut to win. Don't overdo getting buffs because you need strong UC and/or strong forms down the road or you're gonna stunt yourself and end up having to go all out just to kill popcorn in vaults/depths. Butcher everything edible so you're essentially chunk casting.

Maining spider form > ice form > blade hands instead is totally fine too.

the whole point of roguelikes is that you make progress by Gitting Gud instead of by getting better numbers or cooler powers for your next run
>>
>>154441363
Look at the spells. Half of them just raise your base damage and the other half raise base damage and some more from your stats. You still need UC to hit and it doesn't hurt all that much to get fighting at like a 1:3 ratio since it's cheap.

Spider form's kind of eh in lair without chei stats and bend time in my opinion. You don't really have the absurd ev you need to accept that you get exploded on touch by everything. If you're missing a lot, get some more fighting. If you're getting hit too much get more dodge. Always put statups into dex for evasion. Str if you're a madman that doesn't need the extra ev and wants durrgin dmg instead.

One of the most annoying parts of winter start is the zombie animals spawning dynamically around you, ruining your start and generally spawning from thin air and being annoying (which is the reason why I made a mod that removes the dynamical Z-animals).

I guess I'll have to add that to the mod. And check if there's some new ones too.

I don't understand what you guys are talking about. Of course you can salvage engine. If by salvaging you mean being able to grab any engine from any vehicle and installing it on your own (with the proper skills and tools) then yes it's absolutely a core feature. People have been building crazy vehicles in the C:DDA engine. Interestingly, being able to install/remove engine is subject to less restrictions than installing/removing wheels, which requires a way to lift the vehicle.

>>154473193
There are too many unknown variables that can affect the outcome of this vague man vs horse scenario. Who attacks first? Horses do not typically display the behavior of attacking mankind unless provoked or cornered. Is the horse wild? Is it domesticated? Is it a large breed? Does the horse knows it is about to be attacked? Does the human get the first hit by default? Theoretically a man could casually mount a domesticated horse and take his time to give it one steel-reinforced blow to the skull which leads to medical complication and death. In fact humans can kill elephants in a similar fashion. The few times that elephants are used in warfare the riders have a steel and pike which they can trust into the brain in case the beast goes on a rampage and threatens the troops on their own side. I don't know why I even wrote this post.

It's usable. Dexterity is mostly useful for combat (both melee and ranged). Bionics are heavily int based, though int does almost nothing else so whether that's worth it is up to you.

Though if you are playing the latest experimentals you get six stat points in multipool and should probably spend them all on stats if you care about being optimal.

>>154474847
Horses can't be "alert and wanting to kill'. Wild beasts typically do not display any willingness to fight unless hungry, cornered, fighting for a mate or protecting its youngs. Which of these scenarios are we picking, what is the psychology of our fighting horse? Does it put its survival above all? Does it fight unwillingly, is it unnaturally frenzied, is it willing to undergo fatal injury to incapacitate the opponent? What about the size of the arena, does the horse have a head start to run toward the fight or is it cornered? What are the conditions of the ground? Is it a road, is it dirt, is it a sand arena, is it a boxing ring? What about the breed? Depending on how we cherrypick the breed we can end up with a midget horse that weights less than the human contestant or a beast that weights thrice as much.
>>
>>154475338
I've built walls and I've punched walls, I was not trying to draw a comparison to anime or hollywood movies where people punch through stone. The point remains, if you can crush something with a large hammer then an overly heavy man can crush it by putting their weight behind a fist covered in metal. It's simple logic. Most skulls can be fatally hurt with a hammer. Like pointed out before, all it takes to kill a mighty beast like an elephant is a hammer and a stake. Hence why the question "who strikes first" is way too important and ruins any sort of man vs animal debate.

Shields are always bad for UC. For starters, you waste a lot of exp to kill your damage when most actual threats in the game bypasses shield check.

Bucklers add so much to your defenses for such a small investment. They're borderline busted for just how much it really does.

True. There's a reason why Ziggurat is made; since it's the actual game. It's scientifically proven that none of those are objectively a threat until Ziggurat where you're being swarmed without being allowed to use your usual gay lure&kill walk away lol """"tactics""""

For IA?

Scroll down to the readme.

Most other roguelikes will have this on their github readme, else it is usually in a file named like:
README.md, README.txt, compiling.txt, install.txt etc.
Either in the source directory, or a docs directory.

Is trying to create my own roguelike a good start to learn programming? Apparently I shouldn't try to learn without some kind of specific goal in mind. I can't really think of much that im particularly interested in making, but a roguelike seems appealing.
>>
>>154496732
It's an easier kind of game to make from scratch. I thought about making one once but realized I had no reason to make one.

I hope you don't mean the very first step in learning a language, though.
>>
>>154491058
Dat feel. Thats a rough time anon. I always starve in dynahack/nethack for some reason. Then my gods tell me to screw off and leave me to die.
>>
>>154496732
They're actually pretty easy to make as far as games go. You just need to make the underlying systems for combat and item use or whatever, as well as a random generation system, then everything falls into place.

Making a super simple RL where you just wander around randomly generated floors and whack monsters is easy. Then you can improve on that, adding more monsters and items, tweaking the level generation and adding actual goals.
>>
>>154496732
Start learning the basics of a language first with a tutorial or something.
Any of C#, Java, C++ are great places to start and all probably have up-to-date freely available tutorials online.
Once you have the basics down and have made a few simple console programs using the stuff you know, then I'd say to start working on a game.
You will probably need to learn library implementations as you go along and that's a lot to do when you are also just starting with your language.

>Can't beat Brogue

Help this shit is too hard.

Also what roguelike should I move next? I tried POWDER but it didn't look so good.
>>
>>154502203
Brogue is brutal, but on top of the general Gitting Gud at strategy that's expected of you, there are a bunch of tricks you can learn that will greatly improve your odds of survival, even when you've played a lot already (like aiming at weird angles, or throwing Potions of Darkness at gases to neutralize them, or using ranged weapons to damage monsters stuck in crystal next to you).

If you like Brogue style roguelikes you can check out Pixel Dungeon and Hoplite (modile), Forays into Norrendrin and Infra Arcana.

>>154496732
If you've never programmed before a Roguelike might be difficult since it's almost nothing but code, and you'll tackle tough subjects like AI and procedural generation.
You might have an easier time making either real-time arcade games or coding up a CYOA of sorts.

Python and C# are both easy to learn and both have decent bases you can build your roguelike upon (libtcod and roguesharp).

It depends on what your goal is. For the most part there is a fairly straightforward, shitty solution to the things you need (like, move towards player if visible, otherwise move randomly, that kind of bad AI) so getting your roguelike merely playable isn't too hard and feels pretty good (worst is FOV, I think).

pan. hell vs tomb depends on character
>>
>>154516937
Tomb is babymode with conjurations. Tomb, Pan, Hells.
>>
>>154516937
Pan is babbymore unless you try to kill every single panlord.
Hell will kill you because you get so bored after doing 1-2 of the branches.
Tomb won't kill you unless you die to the mummy curses by nuking 20 mummies in a turn and dropping from half hp to -100 (if hey're still a thing)

Well i went into pan, first floor got me the demonic rune, second floor i met my old DsAk with maxed out AC/EV/MR (It was something like a 63/44 split when i was playing) and couldn't kill it even with nuking it constantly while a summoned panlord was kicking it's ass, so i fucked off
I guess i'll do tomb and skip the second floor with OoD
