Jokes on them, cause I die a lot more than 9 in videogames

My favorite game is a roguelike game. So, you know, a game where when you die once, your game progress is erased.

And one of the playable races is a cat. They're quite shit. They can cast spells, but can't wield weapons and can't wear armor, except for a hat.
But, well, you already guessed it, they possess the superpower of respawning after a death, for a limited number of times.

And so, because most deaths in that game happen due to a blunder, that actually makes them kind of a viable race, even though they feel like hard mode in a game that's brutally difficult to begin with.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. It's a non-commercial title, so it doesn't care to do the best job selling itself, and even then it's quite niche, but well, here's the webpage: https://crawl.develz.org/

We've also got two communities here on Lemmy: !dcss@lemmy.ml !dcss@lemmy.world

They don't need the extra lives. They literally have cat-like reflexes!
