@riserise @SuperSnekFriend anyways, if you want a relatively modern take on a real "Rogue-like" game, play Dungeons of Dredmor.
It plays like Rogue, and has some... interesting aesthetic choices, which kinda play on what I was talking about in the beginning of the thread. It's also a bit more user friendly than Rogue or other oldschool Roguelikes because it's graphical with mouse support, so you can click your way around instead of memorizing 50 different keyboard shortcuts for doing everything.
It was released in 2011, and plays like a Roguelike should play: it's a top down procedurally generated turn based dungeon crawler with permadeath and high difficulty. It has a nice sense of humor, especially if we compare it to the irony poisoned clown world we have in games nowadays. And it has a lot of different skills you can pick and choose to "build your own class" and try different stuff.
