The gameplay loop is perfectly tuned. Because the game auto-saves after every battle, you can pick it up for 5 minutes or play for 5 hours. The dopamine hit of beating a difficult "Gym Leader" boss or catching a Shiny Pokémon keeps you hooked.
PokeRogue is a masterpiece of the fangame genre. It strips away the boring parts of Pokémon (the dialogue, the walking, the HMs) and leaves only the strategic battling and team building.
