Any of you familiar with roguelikes such as Powder, and, of course, Rogue, but let's talk modern. When I was younger, i really dug jrpgs, partially because I was bad at games that revolved around reflexes and partly because the gameplay gave you the chance to relax and enjoy a more fleshed out story experience. But, after playing Shiren the Wanderer on the DS my life was changed forever. I can't play turn-based rpgs or strategy rpgs anymore, they're too slow.
Roguelikes are just fast pace enough and are usually difficult to the point that you're having to think your way out of fucking crazy situations. And on top of that, perma-death. BECAUSE LOSING IS FUN! For real, it is.
Relate to me your familiarity with the genre.
