I still call it a roguelike. I suppose it doesn’t have un-id items, and not to much dungeons just running around. I still call it a roguelike.

Not good. Yah, interesting games, lots in them..I just don’t like the mission structure very much..and moreso in GH2, I can’t even figure out where it is I’m supposed to go for most missions.

I enjoyed many things about the original, but it the end I just tired of zooming around and doing random mission after random mission. In fact, the whole mission based aspect of it didn't really appeal to me. Still, an awesome premise and a capable designer behind it. I hope it gets finished. And yes, it's a damn roguelike.

There are roguelikes, and there are CRPGs. A game can be one, the other, or sometimes both. It doesnt have to always be mutually inclusive or mutually exclusive. “ALL roguelikes are symbolic graphics CRPGs :P”

Not so. There are roguelikes, and there are CRPGs. A game can be one, the other, or sometimes both. It doesnt have to always be mutually inclusive or mutually exclusive.
