Dead Cells, Rogue Legacy 2, And Other Roguevanias To Best Understand The Genre

That’s where Roguevanias come in. While there aren’t as many of these games compared to traditional Metroidvanias or roguelikes, they’re definitely thriving. They successfully blend the most appealing features of both genres. Simply put, these games feature map designs and movement abilities similar to Metroidvanias, combined with roguelike elements like losing progress upon death – though you also gain lasting upgrades to become more powerful. They offer the best of both worlds – or perhaps three – which is why they’re called Roguevanias.
