I didn't feel like discerning the two at the time so I just put them side by side. But a Roguelite is essentially just handicapped Roguelike. Taking the whole permadeath and lose everything ideal then throwing it out the window by giving the player benefits to some capacity that stay past "death."
Correct. I have yet to check out the latest versions on their Discord but I think it's been turned into a roguelite. I don't know if this is correct but the few things I've seen seem to suggest that.
