    Can we not use “roguelite” and “arcade” in the same sentence? Roguelite is the anti-arcade.

    Arcade games don’t reward you with permanent power ups for losing runs, that’s just modern gaming nonsense, which you can enjoy, just get your terminology right and don’t mislead people.

    Beat’em up != arcade.

      Bad-ass means the opposite. Does this mean it’s not arcade or a bad-ass arcade category implementation? I assume they mean the latter. It just doesn’t make sense.
