     @cocaine_owlbear the developers call it a roguelike, and it is very much the accepted turn for these types of things now

     Words and meaning evolve, keep up eh

     @gamingonlinux please, for the love of words having actual meaning and being useful for communication, I beg you:

     Stop calling everything with random elements a "roguelike".

     This is not a roguelike. Balatro isn't a roguelike. Slay the Spire isn't a roguelike.

     In order to be a roguelike, and I can't believe I have to say this, the game must in some way RESEMBLE THE GAME ROGUE.
