I've been playing--and sucking at--roguelikes for years, and I wanted to chime in to suggest "Caves of Qud" for anyone that likes this genre. It's a modern roguelike that's still in active development with a really imaginative universe: "The game features a mix between a post-apocalyptic and a fantasy setting, and is heavily inspired by the pen-and-paper role-playing game Gamma World and Dungeons & Dragons."
Agree! Caves of Qud is quite fun. It can be difficult, so I often turn off permadeath just so I can wander around and enjoy the crazy worlds it has to offer on each run
Very neat what it has done with ASCII-style interface too
