Rogue likes usually run on a toaster. What’re people’s favorites?
I have a huge soft spot for Crawl: Stone Soup. Runs in a browser, or probably even lower requirements if you download it. The game’s design goals want to minimize tedium and gotchas, so it’s pretty respectful of your time. Auto-explore and auto-travel are real nice. So is the global search for when you’re like “is there anything in this run with resist poison?”
I’ve played a little nethack, adom, and angband, but I always go back to crawl.
Isaac is a great game, but it’s also one of the most iconic examples of the subgenre with metagame progression.
Most rogue likes, each game is independent. Isaac went hard on the “unlocks for future runs” thing. That’s a fine mechanic, if a bit overused afterwards.
