Bigred's Video Game Thread

[Renton]

There's a game called Desktop Dungeons on steam that I used to play in the beta. It was a fun game when I played, but not worth any money. Though, it taught me that good games were often called 'roguelikes' like Rogue Legacy and FTL. The central mechanic being randomly generated worlds where if you die you start over, but you can still grow through all of the deaths.

Also, I'd buy Desktop Dungeons for android to play on my phone, where it's really suited since a game lasts for 10 mins max.

edit: Oh look Don't Starve falls in the category. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronol...ke_video_games

I find most roguelikes to be overwhelming, but I found this great one called Cataclysm DDA. It's probably the most realistic portrayal of a zombie apocalypse I've yet to see in a video game. Fucking brutal game.

edit: It's a text-roguelike with a crappy tileset so don't expect graphics.
