MicroProse Announces Knights of Frontier Valley Which It Describes as “A Challenging, Old-School-Inspired Roguelike RPG”

Micro who? You know that company that everyone thinks disappeared a long time ago.

Joking aside I think this looks kind of interesting. Nothing majorly new and nothing wrong with that but potential to be well made.
 
I still have no idea what "roguelike" even means. But for a long time I had no idea what "soulslike" was either, then I figured it out and learnt to avoid it like the devil.

... to the internet! Meaning of Roguelike ...

I don't recall ever having played Rogue itself, but way back in the early days, I extensively played Nethack, which is one of the archetypal variants. I even dabbled and wrote a few scripts for it. These days, people would call that modding. :)

Sounds just like regular RPG to me. The generic description isn't really a substitute for experiencing it.
 
I admit that I tend to occasionally look up roguelike/soulslike just to remind myself of what they are and neither tend to stick with me. I guess I just never really got into either type.

Hades was the only roguelike that had some kind of appeal to me, but I dropped it before too long. No matter what genre a roguelike is in, be it something like Hades or a 3rd-person shooter like Returnal or something else, I just can't get into roguelikes of any kind.
