"Roguelike Action"? Not sure I like. Not for a game like this. I guess 20XX was too? Never played it.

Let's hope it's not published by ratalaika this time.

Edit: just watched the trailer and this seems a lot more derivative than the first

Hrm. It looks better than 20XX, but I'm still not feeling it. The pixel work looks good on its own, but the gameplay footage looks really messy, like it's scaling wrong or something.

I really wish they'd drop the whole Roguelike nonsense, though. I bounced off the last game hard because of it. Do a Roguelike side-mode if you want, but at least make a bespoke single-player campaign.

Wow. They really took some liberties with Megan Man Zero, at least the Mega Man character has no helmet so he's pretty distinguishable. But damn I had to do a double take there with Zero.

I bought the first game a couple of years ago, but at this point I feel like I'm just completely finished with roguelikes. I'm not sure I'll ever be interested in playing one again. Still have plenty of interest in Metroidvanias or Mega Man styled games, but if "randomly generated levels" and "permadeath, but buy perks for your next play" are included in the feature list, I'm out.

Looks a bit better than 20XX which kind of had this awkward style to the visuals.

I bounced off 20XX faster than expected, but its pretty solid at what it is doing. I found a lot of the stage layouts had far too much focus on bottomless pits though. Felt like I was doing way more navigating tiny platforms and obstacle-laden platforms suspended over death than actual running and gunning. Like my deaths were mostly based on fall damage than fighting. It just wore me down and this was during the early game with crap default pool of gear.

I should give 20XX another go though, I'm sure its been updated heavilly over the last couple years since last I played.

I'd like to thank everyone that is out because it's a roguelike for letting us know they're out because it's a roguelike.

This game being randomly generated is such a blow. Everything else about it looks great. :(

Wow they improved the art so much. 20XX was ugly as sin. I'm looking forward to this. 20XX was already more heavily leaning toward the X games though op. This is just a follow up to that.

If it's worth anything: I'm definitely buying the game when I have the time to play it as I'm a sucker for coop games, and I played 20XX and that was a roguelike too. So this is not a surprise or anything. But I would have preferred it to have dev designed levels.

I avoided 20XX because IMO I thought it was ugly.

However, this looks great, so I'm gonna have to check this out.

This game looks really nice and I love co-op pretty much any where I can get it.

I am super impressed at how much the aesthetic is improved over 20XX, fucking outstanding work. Despite my not generally loving rogue-like stuff I understand how it can benefit replayability and generally allow for limited resources to be spent on other things, which matters a lot with small development teams.

Definitely looking forward to this. And again, great job to the hard working folks that are making the game.

people are doing themselves a disservice if they're not trying at least the first game 20XX which to me had some of the most satisfying gameplay for a roguelike. The sequel adopting a 16 bit look is a nice suprise, I'll be there day one for the Switch release.

Contrary to the naysayers in here I'm always happy when I read that a game is a roguelike.
I love hugely replayable games!
If you end up liking the game you have a game that is almost infinitely replayable. What could be better than that?
Yes games with randomized levels can have bad level design, but so can games with handmade levels.

Spelunky, Enter the Gungeon, Binding of Isaac, some of my favorite games of all time and I can play them forever since they are roguelikes with randomized levels!
I guess it helps that I'm not the type of player who just want to run through a game once and then move on.
If I like a game why would I want it to end? Imagine if you could play "insert your favorite game here" forever?

Looking forward to giving 30XX a go, I like the new artstyle as the original was a little too flash looking for my tastes. Still enjoyed it though. And i loved the msuic! Glad to hear it sounds like the sequel will have a great soundtrack too based on the trailer.

you joke as if that hasn't already happened

Here's the thing: most people have probably never even heard of 20XX. I knew about it vaguely from the steam store but didn't know it was a roguelike. I avoided it because I didn't care for the art. People have a thirst for a good, retro style Mega Man game for a long while. So when something looks and sounds as great as this does, to be hit with "also it's a roguelike" is disappointing.

I feel a better comparison is how every AAA game nowadays has to be open world, just because that's been the trend.

Is roguelike synonymous for randomly generated or something like that? I hate that shit, it was the reason I dropped Dead Cells hard, I'd rather learn levels and become familiar with the layout instead of the random BS.

I'm willing to bet a good amount of people in this thread had never heard about 20XX or knew it was a Rogue-like. If "Rogue-Like" was in the title, problem solved. But it's not.

First time hearing of this game and first time hearing roguelike. Thats a big turnoff for me. Will maybe try out a demo if there is one and see.

Megaman X BUT rougelike, yikes. It's probably the best but worse thing for me, I love both but NEVER combined.

Random/Procedurally generated + Permadeath mechanics.

Notable examples include Slay the Spire, Spelunky, and FTL: Faster Than Light

(the last one is more Oregon Trail than Rogue, though. I'll die on that hill forever.)

I read Megaman X, looked at the video, game looked nice, and knowing what we all know about megaman, people that don't know anything about this game don't know it's a roguelike. So yeah, it's pretty normal to be disappointed to see it's one, as I am, if you're not into that kind of things, since the other stuff looks really nice.
