    I would add that,
    but it doesn't have the graphics to be a fully roguelike.

    What? Roguelike refers to gameplay not graphics....

    I'd agree, it is gameplay not graphics that make a Roguelike what it is, but The Binding of Isaac isn't one.
    To try and avoid a long and heated debate about this, I'd like to reference the opening paragraph of the Wikipedia article:
    It doesn't really fit, although it comes close.

    That said, The Binding of Isaac is an awesome Action game that utilises many of the techniques Roguelikes use to become so engaging.

    Also, Spelunky is also not a Roguelike.

    Sure, but perhaps it should be broader if that was going to be the case.
    Anyone feel like compiling a list of all games evar? =P

    Gameplay:
    + Roguelike games randomly generate dungeon levels
    + The identity of magical items varies across games
    - The combat system is turn-based instead of real-time
    + Most are single-player games
    + Roguelikes traditionally implement permadeath
    So its 4/5 roguelike :3

    Please read this before posting.
    No hard feelings though, but this game doesn't work as a roguelike.
     
  14. Desktop Dungeons. I don't know how latest version looks, but I can tell you it's dungeon crawler for 10 minutes.

    Really*.
    Wiki should be here.
    *I have just played latest version I have** to show you how fast this is.

    Rogue Survivor - Zombie apocalypse roguelike. Urban environments. Day / Night cycle. Graphical, some sound and music. Great fun.

    Elona - Anime / Japanese roguelike. Great graphics, lots of quests and storyline. Great sound and music.

    DoomRL - Fun, fast paced action roguelike based in the Doom universe. Graphics coming soon?

    The only roguelike I liked :
    Unreal World : http://www.jmp.fi/~smaarane/urw.html

    You basicaly have to survive by fishing, hunting, cooking etc.
    It's made by 2 guys who live in finland in a house in the middle of the forest or something like that, and they are not developping really fast, it's too bad :(
    The project started in 1990
