Cover of The Rise of the Roguelite: Inside a Gaming Phenomenon, edited by James Cartlidge. The top and bottom are red with white and gray text, while the middle features a dark background lined with colorful pixel art icons such as hearts, swords, potions, skulls, coins, and trophies, evoking classic video game aesthetics. The CRC Press logo appears in the lower right. This book analyses the wave of roguelite games that has appeared over the past decade, putting them in historical context and informing readers about their development out of and relation to the roguelike genre that inspired them. The book includes discussions of the historical development and significance of roguelites, critical perspectives on topics such as gender, politics, philosophy, analyses of the influence of roguelikes on roguelites, and discussions of design and mechanics. This book will appeal to those wishing to study and learn more about the roguelites, games studies students and researchers, and game designers interested in this genre. #BoyfriendDungeon (Boyfriend Dungeon) #Hades (Hades) #Noita (Noita) #TheCuriousExpedition (The Curious Expedition) #VampireSurvivors (Vampire Survivors)
