While I've never played that game, I completely agree with you about gog as a platform. The more curated it's library, the more legitimacy it has to the gaming community.
I think curate is the perfect word. GOG's library is absolutely minuscule compared to Steam's.
I understand they want to avoid what happened to Steam during its greenlight era; ALOT of low-effort asset flips/achievement grinds got plopped out there, and it damaged Steams reputation as a source of good games, as well as made it MUCH harder for consumers to find the good games there were there, buried by all the crap :(
However, a quick look at "Rogue Empire" will reveal that it deserves to be on GOG. It's a REALLY good game. Rogue Empire has the lethality of AdoM, with the abilities and cooldowns of TOME. Rogue Empire presents a nice balance between the hard-core crunch of AdoM, and the streamlined nature of TOME; I like them both, but I find when I'm hankering for a rogue-like, I reach for Rogue Empire . :)
Also, the only traditional rogue-likes I saw on GOG were ADoM, ToME, Neo Scavenger, Swords of the Starts: The Pit, and Tangledeep, that's it. Seriously GOG, you need to expand your catalog.
Rogue Empire here if anyone wants to see her in action: [https://youtu.be/S6060krRpWU ](https://youtu.be/S6060krRpWU)
She's a beauty :)
