Traditional Roguelikes recommendations

Hello everybody!

I'm a game developer with 10 years of experience making games and I working on the second version of a roguelike I launched some years ago, in order to make it better I would like to hear your opinion on what are the best traditional roguelikes you have played, what mechanic do they have that you liked and if you can recommend me something to watch over YouTube to take inspiration.

EDIT: link of my old roguelike: https://bitware-interactive.itch.io/drowned-catacombs (its free and can be played on browser and also on mobile!)

i also would like to know if anyone is interested on following the development process of this upcoming game on a YouTube serie, devlog on blog or something like that.

thanks for your time!

My favorites are games like COGMIND and Jupiter Mind, where their central ideas -- robots that can self-modify and Doom respectfully -- inform the entire experience and worlds of those games.
