Rogue-likes have really come a long way since this series came out. So far in fact that I don't think Jan or Ben mentioned "rogue-like" or "rogue-lite" at all in that video which is something that seems inevitable when doing videos on these kinds of games. Not saying they needed to say the words. I just find a tiny bit of amusement that this super-traditional-rogue-inspired dungeon crawler is sorta not what people think of anymore when we talk about the genre.
Totally. It made me feel a bit sad that they seem to think that the mystery dungeon series started with Pokemon or Chocobo, when it has been around since the early super famicom era, being one of the first mainstream console roguelikes, with 30 odd games in the series now ( https://www.giantbomb.com/mystery-dungeon/3025-793/ ).
I do hope @benpack and @janman enjoyed the small taste of one the game series that traditionally defined the roguelike genre. If for nothing else than to give insight about how weird that the genre name went from describing these chesslike type of games to the likes of "Dead Cells" and what not.
