Try some of MaestroVen's rogue like favorites

Expedition - Sailing rogue-like set in the 15th century. a little like dwarf fort in that
its a town creator as well.

IVAN - standard rogue-like that is as brutal in difficulty as it is in addictiveness. i
sometimes wish i had heroin to turn to instead of this game.

NetHack - if you haven't played this, or even heard of this rogue-like, prepare to change
your undergarments. i can't think of a more quintessential rogue-like. this is a classic.

POWDER
 - GBA rogue-like ported to the pc. not the best but certainly the easiest to
understand and play. even more fun when played on an actually hand-held.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
 - its an open source rogue-like that has a couple things
going for it. 1.) you can play this online 2.) its has crazy depth. there is literally too
much to this game to explain here. its good and arguably the best just take my word
for it.

Tales of Maj'Eyal - is a tolkien inspired rogue-like that is actually graphical. its flashy
and the combat is enjoyable. not the most original rogue-like but it will keep you preoccupied
for quite a while.

Transcendence - a spaceship rogue-like. you travel the galaxy and try to survive. prepare
to have withdrawals when not playing this game. violent withdrawals. if i could survive off
playing two games for the rest of my life it would be Transcendence and Dwarf Fortress.


btw any of these can be streamed
