The term roguelike descends from the 1980 dungeon crawler Rogue and its predecessors like Nethack, and the genre is generally built around three core ideas: turn-based movement, procedurally generated worlds, and permanent death that forces you to start over from the beginning. If you need a game that can ease you into the genre, though, The Nightmare Cooperative is a great place to start. Built by Lucky Frame — the Scottish studio behind titles like Wave Trip and Gentlemen — The Nightmare Cooperative has you venturing deeper and deeper into a monster-filled dungeon in search of gold to bring back to your struggling village.
