This is still not a Roguelike.
Looks pretty reminiscent to the Banner saga.

[QUOTE=geel9;46133497]holy shit dude what if a game meets all the criteria for a genre it's part of that genre nobody's saying it's a clone of anything jeeeesus[/QUOTE] but that's what the term roguelike implies: like [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_%28video_game%29]Rogue[/url]
[QUOTE=geel9;46133497]holy shit dude what if a game meets all the criteria for a genre it's part of that genre nobody's saying it's a clone of anything jeeeesus[/QUOTE] 'Diablo clone' is what they were called before they were rolled into the much more general action RPG genre - I was trying to be specific. Titan Quest and Torchlight are Diablo clones. Guild Wars is not, despite having some similarities. There are quite a few games that are Roguelikes despite not being exactly like Rogue, but Bedlam is not one of them.
