Whenever I need my fix I always just go for Nethack and telnet into nethack.alt.org

Also in the spirit of Roguelikes, but not strictly one, I like to play a lot of Dungeons of Dredmor:http://dungeonsofdredmor.com/

Came here to recommend the same thing. It's like a Roguelikelite, but I've got dozens of hours into it. Much fun, and the modding community has thrived since Steamworks was added.

Tales of Maj'Eyal (ToME). Had a lot of fun with this one. My dad was addicted to it badly for a month or two. Great game, and very active community and devs.

I've been looking for something good for Android myself. Wazhack is filling the gap for now, but it is certainly not a traditional Rougelike.

I believe you can just play Nethack on Android, but otherwise no, I've not found any original roguelikes on any mobile platform =\
Faster Than Light (you should already have this) is pretty awesome, and I'll second Dungeons of Dredmor as well (fucking 120 hours on that stupid game).

Yeah ToME is my pick for best of the current roguelikes. There is a huge number of classes and they are all very unique - the default talent trees put most AAA games to shame, plus the various ones unlockable via ingame events for further customisation.
About the only downside is the world is mostly static ( dungeons move around but the world map remains the same from game to game ). Characters are insanely powerful, but it's still hard as hell ( I offer a 'fuck you, right in the ear' to the named luminous horrors and headless abominations ;p ).
Never played a roguelike but from the description it sounds right up my alley. Outside of the suggestions here, are there any classics or must-play roguelikes?
I started off with nethack. Didn't like the super old school inventory gui and quit out after about 20 minutes. I don't want to have to look at lists and remember what letter is short for a specific item. Went to te4 and got a couple friends on board lastnight. Played it for about 4 hours straight. Ended up with about 8 character deaths, but still really enjoyed it.

I checked out te4 last night too, and it's a lot more fun than I expected. I first played NetHack back in the 80's, and don't really have the patience for the truly 'old school' games anymore.
Also checked Sword of the Stars - The Pit too, and didn't care for it much. It just doesn't seem to have that much depth to it compared to what one would expect from a roguelike. I'd be a lot more inclined to donate to te4 than buy The Pit, that's for sure.

You should try unlocking skeletons and making a skeleton archer. Crazy strong at lower levels, especially against adventurer parties - love splattering them all over the landscape with a scatter shot from behind cover ;p
Dungeons of Dredmore is a pretty fun graphical roguelike, if you don't mind monkey cheese randomness and nerd jokes.

Good times, a little shallow for a rogue type game which they are trying to offset but using a retarded crafting system. If anyone has a list of recipes for this game I am interested.
