DragonFangZ is a cute, anime themed traditional roguelike that's noteworthy for its cute chibi artstyle, and its rather poor localization. It's not bad in that the translation choices are bad, but in that the person who did the translation, they did their best and it's really endearing!
The gimmick of this game is the Fang system, wherein sometimes when you kill a monster, they'll drop a "Fang" which can be consumed for a permanent upgrade, or equipped for access to an ability. These are themed around the monster the Fang dropped from and can be combined. Further, there's the Brave system that incentivizes players to leave corridors and battle with 8 spaces surrounding them for an attack boost.
Overall, it's a really sweet and endearing game, and I wish more people would give it a shot!
I've had it on my switch wish list for a while but never picked it up because it just didn't look as good as Shiren the Wanderer (which is excellent), but your comment has convinced me to give it a try, thanks!
I've actually never heard of this one! Definitely worth a look.
Both the Fang and Brave system sound great. Particularly the later since you generally DONT want to fight in the open like that in RLs. What a cool idea!
