Abstract

For a roguelike game, the characteristics of the turn system, permanent death, randomness, and so on are the keys to the success of this kind of game design. However, for most roguelike games, designers focus on the characters or enemies, improve the game experience of players through a variety of gains or losses, and ignore the possible diversity of game rules. In order to solve this problem, the author started from the basis of roguelike game development and focused on the game rules themselves. When designing the rules, according to the existing roguelike game design principles and methods to improve the game experience, the author creatively designed rules such as “perish together”. Finally, the game can let players get a better game experience by changing the rules themselves and providing some inspiration for game design in this field.
