SNGP 11 - Rogue-like vs. Rogue-lite: Defining a Genre

Send us Fan MailThis week on the lucky eleventh episode of SNGP,  we go straight into news, where China is limiting the hours that minors can play games (yes, that's a thing they can do), Apple allows outside payments for apps on the iPhone, streamers took a day-off Twitch in protest to hate raids, and the producer of Tekken 7 and the creators of Yakuza, PUBG, and the NES/SNES design all leave their respective companies.   Meanwhile, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was not lighting up David Radd's system this week, but he did get a chance to shoot all of the bad guys in Hard Corps: Uprising, grind it out in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and slog through a bit of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn while watching some Twitch VODs, while Tuesday returns to Boyfriend Dungeon, and does like the writing but isn't fond of the combat, and goes retro again by sampling some Okami.   In the SNGP topic, the pair discuss the parameters of the Rogue-like genre, citing the very official sounding  International Roguelike Development Conference's "Berlin Interpretation".If you enjoy the podcast, visit us at Patreon.com/SNGP!
