idk i think its a bad analogy. Its more like calling all rts games starcraft or something. They can be thematically different and even play very differently but the underlying structure is the same. And its not unreasonable when talking with someone who isnt knowledgable to start with something similar and if they care to hear more to explain the differences and if they dont then the conversation can end
All rts are Dune.
But yeah. Or how anything hack and slash is now “Souls like”
I thought the defining feature of "Souls-like" games was more about the difficulty of said hacking and slashing, and heavy punishment for mistakes.
But it also has to have tight controls. Failure has to be the player's fault. That's the defining characteristic.
I was going to say "they have to have low random factors" but I realized that's the same thing. Dying to a random crit in a souls-like would be infuriating
There’s space sex witches in all RTSs? Maybe I should play one.
