Bump! I got confused with the hint for a sec but that's just cause I can't read :P
I'm playing more and more roguelikes recently, and I think I'm addicted.

Late Happy Cake Day!
I've had hard times with rougelikes but there are games out there I like that also are roguelikes. I think one thing I appreciate is if the the meta aspects or non-rougelike stuff is more emphasized. Inscryption is a good example of that (although it might be more reasonable to call that a puzzle game with rouge elements).
I also really like Crypt of The Necrodancer. One thing that really helped me in that game is you can play it more like a standard game where you can start on later stages and have unlocks such as health upgrades. I played it like that at first a lot, but then I actually went for full runs. It helped that I actually had the oppurtunity to practice a bunch on the later stages so I didn't feel blindsided or like I needed to constantly grind early stages just to get practice on later stages.This is not just for rougelikes, but for any game, it's really frustrating when the part you are maybe struggling with is only accessible after doing stuff you already figured out (bad checkpoimts, retro games with lives system).

When I was 100% Curse of the Dead Gods I remember I would had liked to have a training mode to learn better the final boss, and if it had that I may had liked the game even more. But seeing yourself improve and refine even more your steps on the early stages is a great part of the experience. I guess a part of why I like action roguelikes is because I like seeing myself improve on them run after run.

This train reason is not exactly because of the reason in the tittle, that's more of an excuse to finally do a very late cake day giveaway.
I returned to this site after a little time away on April 9, just one day late for my cake day, April 8. I noticed that a week after and since then I've wanting to do a late cake day giveaway but keep detaining it over a month now. And now that I noticed I'm close to 200 games sent I've decided to finally do it with that has a pretext. To enter the train first write Yellow/ on the giveaway link.
I wanted to do a cool and personalized train to my tastes so curated four wagons (Plus one that I had a spare key for) from my favorite genre: Action Rogue-likes. Combine two letters to form a b. Two are games that I'll play some time soon, and other 2 that I've already played.

The dot has been swap with a comma. Why? Good question.
I'm not sure why action roguelikes are my favorite genre, but i like when I can find a broken build, and it's nice that while looking for those you start to become better at the game kind of passively. Also, losing so many times due to RNG teaches you a valuable lesson about the dangers of gambling.
I also play tactical roguelikes in time to time, but they hare usually in the hardest difficulty an RNG gore fest. Swap the b for a G. I like that in Action Roguelikes when you die you still can think; "I could had play better" even when you may not had been able to. In tactical roguelikes that illusion is not always there. Some times is blatantly obvious that there was no path to victory on that run.
Why are you reading this? I already told you how to enter the train. Go!
