Brian SheaHOST
But I will say that the randomization, which I, uh...
Brian SheaHOST
That reminds me of, like, something like Spelunky, which I think Spelunky was like-
Logan PlantGUEST
Okay
Brian SheaHOST
... you know, I think they're all handcrafted rooms, but they shift around and reconfigure in certain ways.
Danny O'DwyerGUEST
...
Danny O'DwyerGUEST
in games thing, and then we had one on Spelunky, one on The Witness, and one on Frog Fractions.
Danny O'DwyerGUEST
Um, the Final Fantasy one was split into three, and any of these c- could have been s- stuck together, I guess.
Chris BrattHOST
Mm-hmm.
35 MINS LATER
Chris BrattHOST
Mm-hmm.
Chris BrattHOST
Yep.
Danny O'DwyerGUEST
[laughs] You know what I mean? Like, I wasn't at, you know, whoever when, you know, s- I wasn't sitting beside Derek Yu when Spelunky was designed.
Danny O'DwyerGUEST
So there's no point in me be inserting myself into that narrative.
Raigan BurnsGUEST
If, if they can't just straight walk past a thing and never know it was there, they, they're never gonna be able to actually genuinely discover it and have that super magical, special feeling.
Rob DubbinHOST
And a- I mean, Andy, you were the first person I knew who could consistently get to hell in Spelunky, and I feel like-
Tonda RosGUEST
Still can
Rob DubbinHOST
... hell in Spelunky is the sort of like, uh-
Tonda RosGUEST
Mm-hmm
Rob DubbinHOST
... one of the prototypes of this in sort of in like modern indie games of like ha- having something that is so instrumental to the spirit of what the game truly is, but that maybe 10% of players will ever see, um, because of the difficulty.
Tonda RosGUEST
I mean, I, I find, I think that hell is exa- hell...
Tonda RosGUEST
You're, what you're describing right now is exactly my leveling of engagement with any, any video game because for me, and I think most people who play Spelunky will agree with this, like for me, getting to hell is how much I'm willing to do.
Tim LongoHOST
Tim Longo Jr. with a J-R at the end.
Brett DouvilleHOST
Where you will see brief runs of Spelunky and, uh, what are you p- what's the other one you're playing?
Tim LongoHOST
Uh, Dark Souls III-
Brett DouvilleHOST
Yeah
RichHOST
Mm
FazHOST
... which is the same engine that- Undertale and Hotline Miami and Risk of Rain and Spelunky were all made in.
FazHOST
So that weird indie PS Vita powerhouse.
FazHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
DannyHOST
[intro music] This week on Rogue Pod Lightcast, we're playing the Spelunky-like RPG platformer, Vagante, and adding it to the ultimate rogue-lite tier list.
DavidHOST
Danny, this week we are playing a game that is near and dear to both of our hearts.
DannyHOST
Mm-hmm.
DavidHOST
And it's a rogue-like platformer.
DavidHOST
As noted up top, it is inspired by Spelunky.
DavidHOST
It's a Spelunky-like proclaimed by the developers.
DannyHOST
Mm-hmm.
DavidHOST
And there's also a lot of hints of traditional rogue-likes in here, which is something you like to see a lot.

Burnout 3, I think, is a masterclass in figuring out how to make you as a player just feel good, feel cool as you're speeding through these roads.
speaker_22UNKNOWN
Spelunky is my number five video game of all time, and it is such a special roguelite.
speaker_22UNKNOWN
I remember playing it on my PlayStation Vita and just being completely obsessed with the runs and trying to get deeper and deeper and deeper.
speaker_22UNKNOWN
I was never good at it, but the ability for that game to just go completely haywire on a whim.
speaker_22UNKNOWN
You would throw a bomb, and then it would cause 15 other bombs, and then the keeper would be mad at you and start shooting you with a shotgun, and you would try to run away.
speaker_22UNKNOWN
There is so much fun in the chaos of Spelunky, a game that is so silly but takes its mechanics so seriously.
speaker_22UNKNOWN
It's number five for a reason.
speaker_22UNKNOWN
It is a masterful experience.
JaneGUEST
I, I mean, I was really struggling to think of something.
JaneGUEST
But, like, I was thinking Spelunky.
MikeGUEST
Yep.
ConorHOST
Hmm.
MikeGUEST
Mm-hmm.
JaneGUEST
Um, there's the, like, singing guy in the shop.
JaneGUEST
That's, that is Spelunky, is it not?
MikeGUEST
Yeah.
MattHOST
[laughs] Have I had to?
AlexHOST
Maybe we should play Spelunky.
MattHOST
[laughs]
AlexHOST
Maybe we should... [laughs] Maybe we play Spelunky and see if we feel anything.
MattHOST
Uh, what if we just play Fable and, like, have a throuple?
AlexHOST
I mean, I mean, I am for sure gonna play Fable.
Rich VreelandGUEST
My friend Irek Circa, I love his music.
Rich VreelandGUEST
He did the music for Spelunky.
Rich VreelandGUEST
Big fan of his.
Rich VreelandGUEST
