Have you ever actually played Rogue? >_< (Me neither, but I did grind some DCSS and Jupiter Hell.)
>I thought positioning yourself and allies to face the incoming enemies would be more fun that people seem to find it.
Honestly I think it can be fun, but the whole game feels so jank right now it’s hard to tell. But I can tell you the ideal strategy, as is, would be to have a beefy dude in front and two archers/mages behind him, then do the usual hallway grind. I guess Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is one Roguelike where you have a party, but I forget how that worked. Looking at screenshots now, it seems you only have two ’mons and there are some interesting aoe attacks.
