Meaning of "Roguelike"
This is a hardcore game genre that borrows the systems and features of classic roguelikes—such as having your progress reset upon death—and is designed for repeated playthroughs.
"Since this is a roguelike game where you don't carry over your health if you lose a battle—you start over from the beginning—you have to rethink your strategy every time you play."
