868-Hack and Hoplite are actual good short roguelikes.

Sproggiwood is good. Caves of Qud, by the same devs, isn't finished, but it's a lot of fun and very distinctive.

People call Invisible Inc. a 'roguelite', and it is extremely good, so you should play that if you haven't.

Those are all of the good roguelikes that weren't mentioned already.

looks cool but haven't played too many ASCII games so I might have to practice here. don't some old-school roguelikes have simple fan-made graphics pages, or would i bring shame to my house by using one?

I still haven't actually beaten Dungeon Crawl but you can have a lot of fun and challenging strategy in 20 minutes or so with it, IMO. It also has the most stuff you can do which is nice, although its kinda gay that playing a melee fighter of some type and picking up magic is usually the way to go.

I don't get the hate for rogue legacy, it was okay. But if you want a real roguelike you kinda have to play dungeon crawl stone soup. If you play the web tiles version online you can post your id here and we can all laugh when the slime dungeon kills you in 3 turns

a few Crawl webtiles servers, I think s-z is the most popular but you should see which one you have the best connection to

Fursonally I felt that specific origins could counter the bosses specifically so I would just reroll dudes until I got a certain origin and then fight the boss, which was lame.

Elona is an interesting one that I keep trying out every few years.

There's no permadeath so the barrier of entry doesn't feel as high as stuff like IVAN, especially because it's a totally graphical UI, but it's super dense and the huge race / class / skill system is pretty cool.

Elona has a lot of cool stuff in it but is also super weird sometimes in a bad way

If you're gonna play it play Elona+: http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/Elona%2B

The ghost shows up if you take too long, just like Baron von Blubba.

Go into the options and switch to the pro HUD or whatever it's called, it'll give you more useful information, like a visible clock showing you how long you've been in a level.

You can kill the ghost if you're insane enough.

Only in very specific situations, and not in most levels. It is not useful advice.

The music in risk of rain is easily the best thing about it imo. Also I don't think it really counts as a roguelike because the levels are all static

the exits and stuff you get are randomly generated, i also think ive seen some slight differences in the terrain and stuff. i like this though it's fun. i killed the boss and was immediately murdered by a minion

i mostly played risk of rain in co-op, and the co-op is very badly designed, so i don't like it very much. didn't have much fun when I tried singleplayer either. the class designs were cool, though
