Other sci-fi roguelikes?
Since most roguelikes are fantasy \ medievil themed, I was wondering if there any other Sci-fi \ space \ future themed rougelikes?
Other than FTL

Caves of Qud (ascii but has more easy to learn controls that most ascii roguelikes, in my personal opinion the best roguelike ever made)
Slimy Lichmummy (yes it sounds like a fantasy game from the name but it isnt)
DoomRL (very easy to learn controls, fast paced doom fangame)
ZapM (Basically nethack but with a humorous sci-fi makeover)
Hellspace (Very short game made for a 7 day programming challenge, but it has graphics and all)

Steam Marines is also another rougelike, you control four marines as you try to clear out a spaceship form Aliens and robots

Steam Marine is great, there's light mood of Spacehulk and Aliens (no Aliens classic enemies or sounds, just remind lightly the two IP). You control a team and it works surprisingly well. It's a RL using AP (action points at each turn) and during combats the guard gameplay is rather developed (that's a main cause of its Spacehulk light mood). Combat are very interesting, the AP system and guard gameplay is quite fun, and the team approach generates more diversity. But you need take care it hasn't as many different items and variations than the big Roguelike. And the class system is important with skills and attributes but not much developed in term of quantity (5 classes, for each 4 special power to choose among 2 each time, 3 skills with points and 3 attributes with points). For me it's still a great game.

FTL Faster Than Light: Isn't a classical Roguelike but uses Roguelike approach and SF/Space thematic as you control a ship in space. It is very popular but worth a place in such list.

Eldritch is even further from classic Roguelike because it is a fps (shooter), it is vaguely on Lovercraft thematic so not really SF but not at all Fantasy, great game.

UnReal World RPG isn't SF but it's neither Fantasy. It is like RL during Iron Age. It became free only last year, but it's an old one developed since a long time. It's so detailed that it also feels like simulation and survival, I only played it few hours, but if you want something deep, you should try it.

Bionic Dues is a special Roguelike, like Steam Marine you control a team of Space Marines, but it's mildly fake because the 4 marines are on the same square and you can switch between them. It has a light strategy element through a campaign and choices of missions. It is great at first, in the long run of a campaign I felt it pushes too much too specialize you "team" to be efficient and this push combats be not enough diversified. It's still a very good game with a good depth.

Some more I never played but they seem interesting:
Dungeon of the Endless, still in early access, mixing RL and Tower Defense, I haven't played it yet but just because I wait the Mac version, it seems very interesting.

Rogue Station, looks like a relatively classic RL using SF and graphics but only keyboard controls, never played it, seems interesting.

Let's list some more I remembered since yesterday.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (zombie apocalypse themed game but doesnt take place in modern day but a future society where robots and bionic implants are common. Can be played in either Ascii or basic graphical form. WARNING: very advanced controls that takes a while to learn fully.)
Prospector (A roguelike take on the space-trader genre where you go around in space being an a.s.s.hole to people and wildlife alike =P )
First Paradise (Havn't played this one much but seems promising, be prepared to read a lot)

One that's definitely worth keeping an eye on (isn't scheduled for release till 2nd quarter 2015 sadly) is Sheltered. Not space sci-fi but Post-Apoc instead. For my tastes it sounds damn amazing, upgrade your nuclear shelter venture out to grab supplies with various risks deal with people finding you leading to moral questions etc. Apparently you'll even get to start the game with a very time constrained looting of a mall to grab what you can to help your family survive before fleeing for your bunker...I really think it sounds awesome ^_^ (oh and you'll have to deal with psychological issues too which is a brilliant touch)

Like I said not out yet but definitely worth keeping an eye on.

I see that someone mentioned Prospector. I have enjoyed it quite a bit, but boy, is it rough around the edges. The recently announced[forum.shrapnelgames.com] Approaching Infinity is very similar (the authors know each other and have discussed their games) and is significantly prettier and more polished, if slightly simplified in some areas (but more complex in others)

A demo[www.shrapnelgames.com] was just released.

I'm really looking forward to playing Cogmind, which looks like it will be a great sci-fi roguelike. I'm also working on a sci-fi roguelike myself, called Xenomarine [www.ascifiroguelike.com] - I've just released a free demo version with the first five fully playable levels in case anyone wants to try it!

Didn't like Steam Marines at all. Game was buggy even after early access, controls are clunky, and it just wasn't much fun.

Dungeon of the Endless is supposed to be interesting

Steam Marines seemed decent enough but I really couldn't ever clearly distinguish the clearly traversable spaces from wall spaces.
