rogue-lite (plural rogue-lites) (video games) Any of a genre of video games that take certain elements from roguelikes (such as procedurally-generated game content) but typically have less difficult game design and require less strategy to play.

What is the difference between roguelike and Roguelite?

They only differ in one small way, but it's a detail that changes almost everything about the experience of playing these games. Simply put, roguelites have meta-progression, and roguelikes do not. It's a fairly simple concept. When you die in a roguelite game, you take something with you into the next run.

What makes a game a Roguelite?

Roguelike (or rogue-like) is a subgenre of role-playing video games characterized by a dungeon crawl through procedurally generated levels, turn-based gameplay, grid-based movement, and permanent death of the player character.
