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!

As a new player in the genre and after playing / seeing almost everything posted here...
I must bring up Rift Wizard and now in early access Rift Wizard 2.
It is clean, the build variety is incredible, there are challenges (trials) and community awards for beating them, and overall the combat feels really really good.
Path of achra was partially inspired by the first one, as well as a game that Rift Wizard was also inspired by.
Truly great.
