Roguelike is a sub-genre of role-playing video games characterized by procedural level generation tile-based graphics and permanent death and typically based on a high fantasy narrative setting. Roguelikes descend from the 1980 game Rogue particularly mirroring Rogue’s character- or sprite-based graphics turn-based gameplay that gives the player the time to plan each move and high fantasy setting.
