I have just been trying out some of the more recent roguelikes over at http://www.roguetemple.com, specifically Xenocide which has been a lot of fun, and Incursion which is too complicated.

Anybody have any favorite roguelikes?

My favorite (and the only one I really invested time on) is ADOM (www.adom.de). DoomRL is interesting, if you want a lighter RL to play.

I'm partial to Angband. It takes out a lot of the annoyances of NetHack and makes for a really good dungeon crawler.

Larping Finns -- The Unreal World has some excellent pictures in there. I actually couldn't get into Dwarf Fortress.

I've played a bunch of different games. So far Linley's Dungeon Crawl has been the best of the roguelikes I ever played.

IVAN is great fun, and quite good graphics for a roguelike too, without sacrificing gameplay. The limb / material / difficulty systems are quite phenomenal.

ADOM is good for a longer investment, it's more of a standard RPG rather than dive the dungeon.

If you play GBA or DS, give POWDER a shot.

Oh, wow, I didn't realize Incursion was ever released, I only saw a pre-pre-prerelease version a few years back and I thought it had stalled. (The "Westley Weimer" mentioned on the main screen is the programmer on Broken Hourglass.)

I find I'm just too familiar with ADOM to play anything else. Well, unless it's the rogueish Sword of Fargoal on the C64...

I highly recommend Graphical Linley's Dungeon Crawl, though I would also encourage people to check out the various Roguelikes available on home consoles and handhelds like Shiren the Wanderer and many others.
