A roguelike is a game in the genre of ASCII RPGs, the first of which was Rogue in the 1980's. While the mainstream gaming industry has gone down the path of powerful graphics, Roguelikes continue to thrive due to their rich depth of player options, wide range of settings, addictive gameplay and imaginative storytelling.

Fuck yes Castle of the Winds you are the best Windows roguelike ever
Yes, it's seriously Doom as a roguelike. It's also actually a lot of fun; it uses all the Doom sound effects and music, and uses them well (including directional environmental sound effects and monsters breathing).
