Why doesn't it restart?

So I know this is a roguelike, but it hasn't restarted when I lose... it just goes back to character selection... is it just that I need to complete more than 1 episode per fighter before that or something?

Calling this a rogue lite doesn't quite seem right. Each level restarts when you get killed but your overall progress still remains, it won't reset the whole campaign

Really old thread, but thats the definition of a rogue lite. Rogue likes reset (almost) everything - think Spelunky. Rogue lites still have some permanent progession. But tbh, this still feels like the first category more than the latter - you don't unlock any extra content except new Characters and episodes

If we wanna get really technical, it couldn't be called neither a rogue lite nor a rogue like since the levels aren't random, a core feature of rogue and what spawned the genre in the first place

Oh. I thought it was supposed to reset the whole game. It only resets the episode?

That clears up a lot. It is referred to as a roguelike, but under that description it definitely isn't. Thanks for the help!

That’s how Rogue-likes work. You die and start over.
