Unlocking better gear/powerups/abilities is the basis of games. Is this supposed to be a generic gaming sub?

    True roguelikes are not. Oldschool sidesscrollers as well. Any game that starts you from zero.

    But less pedantically, it’s a genre name, not just a description. Also known as the “numbers get bigger” genre.
