Roguelike recommendations? (beehaw.org)

Getting into DCSS a lot recently. Still just running Minotaur Berserker with the furthest I've made it being the 10th floor aha.

Regardless, really enjoying it and wondering if others have any other recommendations. I tried ToME4 and just felt overwhelmed and wasn't enjoying myself too much.

Have my eyes of Caves of Qud as well. Love the more "literary" aspect to it (even though I know it's often nonsense), and the atmosphere/setting. Seems to be highly regarded overall though. Wondering if I should buy it and play alongside DCSS.

I poured way too much time into Rogue, Moria, Angband and Zangband back in the day... Sad to see Zangband completely disappeared - no idea if there's a similar flavour floating around.

Played a couple of newer more graphical (and probably better balanced games) but I actually found them less engaging.

My son was madly into Shattered Pixel Dungeon for a while.

I reckon you'd like Caves of Qud if you were a fan of Angband and the like. It's a very ambitious true roguelike along similar lines.
