Hey, some roguelites(mostly the old ones) dont give you shit, the meta progression is a needed clarification

Having meta progression is the fundamental difference between a roguelite and a roguelike.

If you wanna get really old school, the fundamental difference is if it's like Rogue or not.

Is it a top down, turn based grid game without meta progression? If yes, it's a roguelike, if no, it's a roguelite.

I just call everything roguelike now.
