I haven't been seriously into the genre in a few years, but my favourite was a heavily focused fork of Angband called Sil. I say focused, rather than simplified because the mechanics that are there are more strategically significant and fleshed out, even if the game's much less complicated than Angband to play. There's a great variety of potential character builds and strategies to try out and you're rewarded for knowing a bit of the lore. Basically if Tolkien didn't write about it it's not in the game (slime moulds excluded); magic is in the form of chanting songs of power rather than slinging fireballs and races function more as difficulty levels with Elves at the top, naturally. It's very faithful and a real joy to play as a Silmarillion fan.

 
Time for a YASD from nethack 3.4.3

In the mines 2 levels under the minetown.

>be me lawful drawf Valk.
>Be Not me 2 Tamed large Cats,
>Be Also not me 1 numph "trapped" in a pit.
>Have AC around -3
>Wanting to be lawful valk I try to help them get out of the pit with Untrapped.
>as trying to help them out of the pit They steal all my armor and teleport out of said pit I was trying to help them out of.
>Accidently step in poly trap a few steps away.
>Turn into a shitty elf with only 1/3 the max HP of what I normally have.
>A gaggle of three soldier ants show up
>Get murdered in 2 turns as my 2 large tame cats do nothing but wonder around


Moral of the story I was lawful stupid.

world of horror just released early access. it's a junji ito/h.p. lovecraft inspired roguelite that's pretty fun. it's light on content right now but the dev is continually adding stuff, plus mod support soon. worth checking out.

Plain old ants and even fire ants are a joke, but soldier ants can obliterate you before you even react to them if you're spacing out and button mashing. They're near the top of the list for early game deaths.

They have killed a ton of runs for me. I hate ants. If I wasn't busy genociding mind flayers first I would waste a genocide on them out of spite.
 
Quick, does Rimworld count as a roguelike?

I am friends with that dev. Well, I'm friends with a lot of indie devs thanks to AGDG and the Discord.

I've had quite a few runs ended by Team A myself. Weird how such a relatively small creature can be so powerful they can take down heavily-trained knights and sorcerers.

That's a funny coincidence, I thought about this game again yesterday because I used to watch the yogscast and nilesy played it but I just couldn't remember the name.
 
Hahaha I was putting on random orcish helmets because even 1 extra AC is better then letting them sit in my inv.

Put on the first one.

Cursed -4 enchantment.

Panic read random scrolls lucky the second one was destory armor.

And even more lucky it destorys the curse helmet and not my crystal plate mail I found on Dlvl 2.

:story: Bad Habits Pay off once again.

Current run doing fine (This is like 2-3 deaths after the above post) I cleared my first Sokoban 4. Bag of holding here I come.

Unless you get the amulet of reflection instead. Either is useful.

I hope not I already have Sliver dragon scale +3 from a water demon wish. (It Happen one dip before I got the artifact).

Oh well all this freeloot from just solveing it normally if I can get it Identifed might be worth it.

Edit*
