You're right, it's just a puzzle game. Strange to use the theme of chess and change a queen into a prince too.
Pawnbarian is more chess-inspired than a chess themed, but actually rogue(lite)-like and very good.

- joemi 3mo ago"Rogue-like" is the most over-used term these days. It now has almost no meaning, compared to what it used to mean.

- chiply314 3mo agoNormally the term fits very well and there are a lot of rogue likes, in this case its just wrong. You die and loose everything than you have a meta upgrade loop.
- joemi 3mo agoI'm aware of what it means now. It used to have a more specific meaning than just "You die and loose everything than you have a meta upgrade loop". That was part of what it meant but not all. The "Berlin interpretation" is what it used to mean, and most of the stuff that's now called a roguelike was referred to as "roguelite" since it met some of the criteria for roguelike but not all.
