Recommended ROGUE-Like games? e.g. where to grind etc.

• Rogue Legacy for platforming variant
• Immortal Redneck for FPS variant

Both offer persistent progression

Definitely The Binding of Isaac : Rebirth and maybe Risk of Rain

FTL (Faster than light) of course :D
Convoy is another one I enjoyed quite much

In all these games you die a lot, and explore a lot, and get stronger, etc. Like what you described. :-)

• Flinthook: you'll dig this for sure, 100%
• Hollow Knight (it's a metroidvania, but it feels a bit like Rogue Legacy, and with fun of progression)
• Gloom (souls-like action rogue-lite, quite good, but it's all combat, no exploration)
• Path of Exile (incredible ARPG, better than any Diablo imo. lots of loot, exploration and progression. dungeons are procedurally-generated. it's also free on steam, but it never nags you about money, i played the whole thing without spending a dime, the only worthwhile free2play game imo)
• Spelunky (you prob already know this one)
• Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight -very good metroidvania. not a rogue, but also fun, exploration, progression, etc.
• Necropolis: it's like a 3D action rogue. think rogue legacy 3D
• Enter the Gungeon : action-rogue game, except it's a twin-stick shooter. very fun.
• Rain World : lots of progression and exploration. lots of dying. survival elements. gigantic world. brutal gameplay. procedural physics/AI system. levels are hand crafted. thought i'd mention it cuz it's my favourite game so far for 2017. kind of fits the bill maybe.
• Teleglitch - one of my favourite action-rogues, but no persistent progression
• Towerclimb - one of my favourite action-rogues, but no persistent progression

Depends on how hardcore you are.

Dwarf Fortress (Adventure Mode) - basically qualifies AND you get a base management/simulation with it. Not to mention you can generate your own world. Don't be scared off by ASCII graphics as there are graphical packs and tons of tools for the game.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - a post-apocalyptic roguelike with quite insane simulation elements you have to keep track of, but it results in a lot of options open to you. Just like Dwarf Fortress there's a strong modding scene.

UnReal World - only one on Steam, although you can get the free version from the site, and the most accessible one of the three. What makes it stand apart is the historical iron age period and fact it employs survival aspect heavily as one of its core pillars so weather and hunger are equally as important as enemies.

PS.
Bloody formatting.

Nethack is pretty good, also Rogue is okay... Maybe ADOM?

I can very much recommend Demented Pixie. I generally don't enjoy rogue-likes all that much, but I loved this game :)
Another rogue-like that I enjoyed was bit Dungeon II.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
https://crawl.develz.org/

you will be set forever

I can strongly reccomend you a game called Deathstate which I was lucky enough to win here without knowing of it existence, and i play it regularly, it's awesome!
And i had never been much into that kind of games ;P
So check it out!

Ziggurat. Lots of unlocks and perks to improve. Short and fast paced runs. It's a blast.

I'm currently waiting for dead cells to come out on the 10th of may. This one looks really good.
Everspace is still in early access but it is quite fun already.
I would also recommand Darkest Dungeon, a wierd mixed between rogue-like and jrpg where you have to manage you party's madness
Nuclear Throne, a fast pace top down twin stick shooter.
and Don't starve, you can also play multiplayer with the "together" version.
You can check crypt of the necrodancer. I personally didn't like it that much but everyone else seems to love it.
Strafe, an FPS with some rogue-like feature is coming out on the 9th of may.
20xx a rogue-like megaman game. I'd love to play that one but waiting for the price to go down.
Rimworld. A fantastic survival colony management. not exactly a rogue-like but you will die a lot.

Rogue's Tale
ahaha)

In Celebration Of Violence
Top-down, slower pace than most others, tons of weapons (melee and ranged), spells, mementos (passive items), permament stat progression.
Only game I've ever felt compelled to write a guide for. If you manage to overcome the somewhat hard start it's awesome.

TumbleSeed. Just came out and on my wishlist so I cannot comment but so far 100% positive.

Another I don't think I've seen mentioned: Neon Chrome

Nuclear Throne.

Rogue Legacy and Risk of Rain are my personal favourites so far.

Get Binding of Isaac, that's the only rogue like you'd ever need.

Dungeons of Dredmor

An amazing game and cheap too.

If you are into ARPGs as well, try Titan Quest. It's one of my favs. Also, you can try Victor Vran and The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing.

thanks a lot for all the replies buddies! sadly i read a lot of roguelikes with permadeath :/

i just played bit dungeon II and it seems you cannot save or loose progress. this is exactly what i dont like, cause i love ROGUE LEGACY that you die but DONT loose your level ups and purchased stuff!

Check out Modest Kind. It's similar to Enter the Gungeon and Binding of Isaac, but with Quiz Trivia mechanic and deep Kojima-like lore and narrative driven. It's dirt cheap too.

My favourite:

• Risk of Rain - fast paced action game set on a sci-fi world
• Caveblazers - action game set on a fantasy world. Similar to Risk of Rain but less hectic
• FTL - sci-fi game in which you have to manage a spaceship
• Sunless Sea - slow game with lots of text. Great mood, good writing and a wonderful adventure in an underground eldritch world.

Another great but that can be played without permadeath

• Tales of Maj'eyal - great RPG adventure with lots of content and great worldbuilding.

mmmmm

-hammerwatch

Nethack and ADOM are popular rogue-likes...
