Are there any plans for a different game mode?
Are there any plans to introduce a game mode more akin to the prologue?
When I first started playing this game I was under the impression that it was going to be a roguelike experience more akin to the modern conception of the genre (think hades or slay the spire, but with no meta-progression, hence the roguelike and not roguelite).
Instead after the prologue I got served an open world rpg that shares with the original Rogue the combat and the procedurally generated aspect of the map and dungeons but not the permadeath and run length elements.
Admittedly I'm still loving it but I can't help but wonder how would a game mode with shorter runs, faster character progression, and the classic act/floor structure would be. I'd probably play the fuck out of that tbh.
As it stands i'll probably only ever play 2 runs of this game, the one I'm currently doing and one when the game is actually finished. The amount of time invested in each run is too much to start a new run just to play around with different builds imho.
