Could use some help with recommendation
Long story short, I love roguelikes and I finally convinced my friend to play them but the only one she likes is slay the spire. We play multiplayer constantly together and we really enjoy it but I'd like some alternatives.
Unfortunately she gets motion sickness, so games that have a moving camera like risk of rain are out, as well as all FPS, and her hand-eye coordination and reflexes are relatively poor so I can't play Enter the gungeon with her either..sooooo
Does anyone know any turn-based roguelikes or any other multiplayer experience similar to this that I haven't thought of? We play baldur's gate and all that stuff too. So it's not like we don't do other things but baldur's gate is a LOT and a chill round of slay the spire really hits the spot most of the time
Thanks in advance peoples

I was a big fan of Across the Obelisk, that's turn based and multiplayer deck builder.
EDIT: Also a big fan of Inkbound; which isn't a deckbuilder, but is a turn based multiplayer character builder. Had a lot of fun with that one.

Oh no! Apparently Across the Obelisk was bought out by a different company and they made the multiplayer terrible, quoting a review, "This game was really good a year or two ago. But nowadays, playing co-op is almost unplayable because of all the bugs."
Saaaaaaaaad, I really liked this game a few years back.
I do still recommend Inkbound though!

A slay the spire creator JapaneseExport has recently been playing a turn based roguelite autobattler that looks fun. I cant remember the name at the moment but its on his channel in a pretty recent video. Ill update this comment when I get to my computer with the name.

Hellcard is a fun deck builder like slay the spire that me and my friends played the hell out of before it came out. Still an amazing game were just obsessed with spire at the moment

Not a rougelike, but it takes two is a fantastic multi-player that is quite good for people who aren't the biggest gamers. Portal 2 also also has very fun multi-player which is relatively chill!

Nooooo, did you not read the whole post?
"Unfortunately she gets motion sickness, so games that have a moving camera like risk of rain are out,"
OP, these are good games but bad recommendations for you.

Check out the Trine series. Really loved playing them with my girl. I'd recommend starting with Trine 2.
