Please suggest me a roguelike RPG

Hi, I have played fallout 4, skyrim, dark souls seris (although not really RPG), Witcher 3 (Combat was too easy even in hardest), stoneshard (Need development). I am curious about the last Dragon Age game but I really don't like the idea of taking care of more than 1 playable character at the same time. I am also interested in Baldurs Gate 3 but I don't want to spoil the game with early access on. I am more interested in isometric view of point games these days so that would be extra kawai

If you don't care about graphics then you can always check out the game:
"Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead".

You can always get some texture packs with the downloader aswell. :D

None of these games are even remotely roguelike.

This is a roguelite:

This is a roguelike:

I doubt dark souls is not roguelike. Finished dead cells, it was kinda easy. I see FTL all the time. I will check it out now. Ty :)

Dark Souls is roguelite at best.

Yeah Rogue "The" one to try before any of the others . I play Nethack on a few elderly portable computers as well as my desktop.

You may also wish to try Dwarf Fortress and its Adventure Mode. That's got a lot of ways to play --start out as a peasant and become a necromancer by training your skills, becoming heroic enough by doing quests and generating fame, and thus followers--then lead them to a necromancer tower, kill the necromancer and lament the loss of your followers that had fallen in the battle, and read the necromancer slab that contains the secrets of life and death, become immortal, then raise your previous friends as undead and return to the villages you recruited them from and command them to kill their families and then raise them too!

The go find a vampire and kill him, drink his blood and become a vampire necromancer. Scoop up some of the blood into a water skill, pollute the well of a nearby village and get the populace to start turning into vampires.

It's like a gift that keeps on giving.

As already mentioned, none of those games that OP referred to in his first post are "roguelike."

Traditional roguelike games feature procedurally (random) generated dungeons/levels, items with randomized stats, turn-based gameplay and perma-death, meaning once you die, you're dead, no continues.

Rogue and Nethack aren't games that I would recommend to newcomers to the genre.

Some good games for newcomers to the genre are Dungeons of Dredmor, Crypt of the Necrodancer, FTL, The Pit, Sproggiwood.

Some non-traditional Roguelikes, sometimes referred to as Roguelites, include Rogue Legacy, FTL, Slay the Spire, Binding of Isaac, Nuclear Throne, Enter the Gungeon, Spelunky.

More Roguelikes for initiated or those brave enough to venture forth include Tales of Maj'Eyal, Bionic Dues, WazHack, Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead, Caves of Qud.

I have a simple question, and it may lead to better advice. That is OP what do YOU mean by roguelike? As others have said, the names of games you offered aren't those, so we may be simply advisiing you of the wrong thing here?

Tell us what aspects appeal to you, so that we don't cross paths.
