Hmm, since it’s co-op it sounds a bit different to me. It sounds like any co-op PvE game where if you wipe a run, you have to try again. If you play an MMO and wipe on a dungeon you lose you progress and start over. No one really calls that a rogue like. But I guess the procedural generation means it leans toward roguelike. I don’t think that’s inherently bad. Squads are going to get together and make runs and have fun trying to get further and further. I don’t see it as deviating too far from what squad based PvE gameplay is already like for many multiplayer gamers.
It’s got a roguelite-style progression, where there’s a currency that unlocks permanent rewards which persist between runs.
I own Core Keeper but haven’t played it.
Just saying you should! It has fishing in it, but optional and it is not a minigame, just throw the thing wait and click when it moves. It is a boss rush game (is this a genre or did I make that up?) with additional content but you can focus on the bosses if you don’t want to spent 100 hours on building and growing crops like I did 
. Would be a shame to own it and not at least touch it.
I understand. But in terms of games like MMOs, where you get loot from a run, isn’t the currency just the equivalent of the loot? I’m not saying it’s not a roguelike, just that I don’t think it’s going to be meaningfully different to multiplayer gamers who already can wipe on a run and have to run things like dungeons multiple times to get the loot they want. And FFXIV introduced currency in Variant dungeons, so it’s not mechanically very different. My point is MMO players are used to running the same content over and over with a risk of party wipe each time. So the structure of the activity is not that different and I don’t think the players who like doing that will be put off by this.

I watched it in fast forward, nothing surprising maybe except for Dispatch. I like the idea and the trailer looks promising.
