Why Are Roguelikes So Difficult?

Roguelikes elicit many emotions: happiness, pain, love, despair, but if there's one feeling roguelikes emanate more than anything, its difficulty. While individual roguelikes might not rank high on a total overall difficulty scale compared to some other titles, collectively the roguelike genre is pretty consistent in delivering some not so very easy games, and in this video, ill be going over why (in my stupid dumb sleep deprived reasoning) I think that is.

Wow! an upload only a month after a previous one! its a christmas miracle!! Btw, sorry about the kinda lower quality of this video. This is a topic ive been juggling for the better part of like 6 months now, I kinda just didnt get it fleshed out in the way I wanted to everytime i re listened to myself so i kept restarting and putting it off and coming back to it in pieces, hence the audio quality from my old house mixed with new audio from my dorm, the mention if me having a job (which i did this past summer, but im back in le college now), and the bad nnn jokes. I feel like i probably could have explained my stance better, notably diving deeper into the learning curve, talking more about the how the multiple run nature of roguelikes can make any large progression feel worthless because you have to progress through whatever you acconplished again on the next run if and when you die, and the very necessity of difficulty in roguelikes(of which i pushed a little to hard imo), but after 5 months of reworking this concept while having this internal dialouge I decided i should just drop the video as it is to be able to move on to other topics and to not flunk out of college. Flame me in the replies. Sorry about the rant.

Ive noticed something a lot of Roguelikes share in common: Healing options are so limited you're more likely to find a rare or legendary item than you are a simple healing bauble Skul, Gungeon, and Dead Cells are big examples, but Dead Cells only sort of avoids it with your Healing Flask and Food

Building off this, I want to mention a few things: 1 - Some roguelikes/lites have stats that boost healing, but because of how rare healing sources are, it becomes nigh impossible to make use of them unless the game is feeling very generous with healing drops 2 - There are some games that give you a lot of healing options, to a level that it feels almost unnecessary, such as ROR2, which has so many healing items that your survival is almost guaranteed...but then again, ROR2 likes to hit you so hard with elites and overpowered enemies that healing becomes useless 3 - There are some roguelikes/lites that do healing pretty well Gunfire Reborn is pretty generous with Bun drops, and you never feel like the game is withholding healing options to be difficult. There's even an upgrade that makes buns restore your HP to max on pickup, and it isn't even rare Roboquest makes enemies drop Healing Cells on kill, which quickly repair scratch damage and can heal you back to full pretty fast. Some weapons and abilities even cause enemies to drop more cells on kill, and there's a few items that do things like increasing cell pickup range, increasing their potency to heal more, and increasing their duration so you dont feel like you have to book it to heal that chunk of HP you lost because you weren't paying attention to that Electro Beacon robot

One important factor is obscuring or withholding information, Risk of Rain 2 has many mechanics that you will never figure out unless you look them up, and a lot of items dont even tell you what they do in game. Isaac does the same thing too. Its a really lame and artificial way to boost difficulty but its something that a lot of rogue likes ive played have in spades.

I see that you are a beginner in dead cells. A little advice: focus only on one color of scrolls. This is probably the biggest mistake new dead cell players make. If you have green weapons, do not under any circumstances choose purple or red scrolls. Scrolls of the same color as your equipment give you +dmg, so it will be easier for you to defeat opponents.

Hey @TheFrosif, I'm struggling to complete my first run of Wizard of legend after 20 hours with it, haven't even got up to the 2nd council member yet. I'm just wondering if you have any tips or builds that you could recommend me? You seem highly skilled :). I have quite a lot of experience with Hades as well as getting up to the final boss multiple times, and I'm trying my best with this game, but I get hit A LOT. I've tried lots of different arcana, but I'm not sure which ones are the best and which relics I should use (I'm using surefire rocket atm) Thank you in advance if you reply, and thanks for your fantastic videos! Also don't stress about uploading too much, just focus on your mental health :)

Sure thing man, in terms of builds I honestly mainly run the builds shown in the video tbh, usually fueled berserk with some low end lag basic, and then an accompanied aoe signature and usually the void teleporter dash (forgot the name, been a while since I've played). Either that or evading zepher with any shock basic. In terms of tips ig the big thing to me when trying to clear council for my firsr time was just playing more defensively than I would think, health drops are practically non existent in woz so keeping defences up is pretty important to conserve health. Also, buying relics/arcana in a run with an end goal in mind, ie buying for an evasion build or crit build, etc. Theres lots more to it than that but I'd say check out some dedicated videos for more in depth info, I haven't gotten back to woz in a while now due to college. Glad you enjoyed the video, and hope this helped some!
