Does DJ Octavio is Gay?

i hate to be that guy but. doesn’t removing the entire chips system with its randomized stat buffs limited to run obtainment sort of negate the entirety of what makes a roguelike a roguelike

Side Order’s gameplay genre is the Roguelite genre, a group of games often categorized by randomized levels, tough-as-nails combat, a variety of set-in-stone weapons, and, most crucially, random power-ups and stat boosts that you collect throughout your run yet lose upon death. (see games like The Binding of Isaac , Crypt of the Necrodancer, or Hades for more challenging examples)
oftentimes this will also come with a permanent currency system that you can spend on things to make your future runs potentially easier.
now, the poster of this, before taking it down, had proposed a system to replace the chips with a system called “perks,” where you could freely customize your weapon, its stats, abilities, and subs/specials, which kiiiinda defeats the purpose of the roguelite genre

I wrote it at like midnight and

arguably it misses the point of splatoon and tries to make it an entirely different game

and is just me haphazardly slamming like 8 different games together

The Only Change I'd Make To Side Order Weapon-Wise Is Allowing You To Change What Tone Preferences The Palettes Have

Lock It Behind An Expensive Hack You Can Only Get After Beating All The Palettes Or Whatever

Not Only Would This Encourage Replayability Even More, But It Would Help With Completing The Chip Collection
