Roguelike and roguelite games are characterised by a high level of difficulty, randomly generated levels and the permanent death of the game character. In roguelike games, each run is unique as maps, enemies and items are randomly generated. If the player dies, they have to start all over again. Roguelite games, on the other hand, often offer elements such as permanent upgrades that preserve progress over multiple playthroughs, making them somewhat more accessible.
The name of this genre comes from the original game Rogue, which was the first to use this style of gameplay.
