===Subgenres within roguelikes===
In considering the popularity of roguelikes that deviate from the Berlin Interpretation, the rogue-lites, some subgenres have emerged.

{{anchor|Action roguelike}}
Action roguelikes are typically based on combining gameplay of [[action game]]s within roguelikes instead of the turn-based gameplay. ''Spelunky'' is an example of combining a [[platform game]] with the roguelike formula, while ''The Binding of Isaac'' and ''Enter the Gungeon'' are effective roguelike [[shooter game]]s.<ref name="bycer book"/> Within action roguelikes have also emerged a minimalistic shooter roguelike, with ''[[Vampire Survivors]]'' as a leading example; in such games, the player generally fights through wave after wave of enemies, their character often fully firing or using all possible attacks without player intervention, with the ability to expand their character through a random selection of power-ups as they defeat more enemies.<ref name="arstechnica">{{cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/10/vampire-survivors-a-cheap-minimalistic-indie-game-is-my-game-of-the-year/|title=Vampire Survivors—a cheap, minimalistic indie game—is my game of the year|first=Aaron|last=Zimmerman|website=[[Ars Technica]]|date=2022-10-20|access-date=2022-10-27}}</ref>

Another type of roguelike subgenre is the [[Roguelike deck-building game|roguelike deck-builder]], where combat is resolved by using cards or an equivalent object. These games are inspired by physical [[living card game]]s, where the player builds their deck over the course of the game, forcing them to plan strategy on the fly. While the 2014 game ''Dream Quest'' is considered the first example of such a video game, the popularity of the genre was cemented with ''[[Slay the Spire]]'' in 2017.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/30/23181999/roguelike-deckbuilder-genre-slay-the-spire-inscryption | title = How One Of Gaming's Most Intimidating Genres Spawned A Legion Of Hits | first = Lewis | last = Gordon | date = June 30, 2022 | accessdate = July 2, 2022 | work = [[The Verge]] }}</ref>
