This game is not a fucking roguelike you fucking nimrods. We're not talking about a complete corruption of the definition, just a broadening of the term to include more games within it. contribs) It's not that journalists are creating a brand new definition of what a roguelike is, but simply instead of saying "a roguelike must have all the facets of the Berlin Interpretation" that "a roguelike has many of the facets of the Berlin Interpretation" (Which is true - Binding has procedural generated dungeons and permadeath, for example).Ben 09:43, 1 July 2013 (UTC) - Preceding unsigned comment added by Bens dream ( talk If the whole world starts calling a horse's leg a "tail", how many legs does the horse have? It still has four, regardless of what society thinks. M ASEM ( t) 22:46, 30 June 2013 (UTC) I don't think I can agree with that. As WP, if a large number of sources are using a term in a "wrong" but otherwise consistent manner, we can't change that in how we report information. This is why its clear on the roguelike page that there's the classical/Berlin approach, and the more modern one that generally related to a subset of said features. contribs) We go by what sources say, and by the reliable sources used by our project, they have effectively shifted what the definition of a roguelike is.Ben 22:04, 30 June 2013 (UTC) - Preceding unsigned comment added by Bens dream ( talk M ASEM ( t) 21:34, 30 June 2013 (UTC) I agree that the term is thrown around pretty loosely, but should fact be sacrificed for a social convention? Sites like IGN or other major gaming sites calling them roguelikes doesn't make them right, it just makes them part of the masses who don't understand what a roguelike actually is. It's considered part of this larger genre, but clearly its not a strict rogue-like game. The problem is that what a "roguelike" is is not limited to the roguelikes that exactly meet the Berlin Interpretation, based on how much the word is thrown around today with games like this, FTL, Rogue Legacy, etc in reliable sources. I'd be happy to change it to "roguelike-like" (Which is, in fact, a genre), but as someone who is essentially an expert on the topic, I can't allow for it to stay as a "roguelike". M ASEM ( t) 16:35, 28 June 2013 (UTC) This isn't a roguelike - It might fulfill some of the criteria, but it isn't turn based, which is a requirement. We just can't call it a "Berlin Interpretation" roguelike. So there's no reason not to call it a roguelike. Further, numerous sources attach the word "roguelike" to this. Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.23.114.188 ( talk) 01:50, 25 July 2012 (UTC) Since an IP is trying to remove this again, I stress the point that 69.* points out above - it doesn't met the strict Berlin definition, but has more than enough in common with those. Read the second and third paragraphs of the "General Principles" section on the linked page before you sperg out and remove the genre again. Since the game has 5 of the 8 "high value factors" (and 3 of the 6 low value ones) listed on that page, it's actually more than 50% roguelike. Nothing on the page you linked specifies that a game absolutely must be turn-based to be considered a roguelike.

Removed the roguelike genre as the game is not actually a roguelike, one of the reasons is it not having turn based gameplay.

I'll leave it a couple of days for acceptable references to be provided. The remark about Google is not convincing either. All I see at present is links to blog-like reviews.
