Nordic Ashes belongs in the roguelike conversation because its constellation upgrades, character trees, relics, realms, and enemy floods create more directed builds than many horde games. The run structure is what matters: it asks players to build a plan under uncertainty, then live with the consequences when the run turns ugly.
