BrogueCE VS BrogueLite

For a long time, most traditional roguelikes were free (although there seem to be more on steam lately). I think Brogue is a good place to start; it isn't too complicated, it has some nice quality of life stuff, cooperates with a mouse, and its pretty for its genre.

Brogue is another good option if you're down with rogue-likes, can basically run on anything (& has an Android version).

Adding Brogue [1] to the list. Neat and very well balanced.

Broge, Angband, C:DDA, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, are some options.

Actually, it fixes the situation where a mirrored totem beckons you repeatedly in the same turn. Mirrored totems can still beckon you onto lava.

You'll notice Brogue Lite used to be at HomebrewHomunculus/BrogueLite, but its new home is now HomebrewHomunculus/BrogueCE.

Also, since you've mentioned that you really like to react to what your enemies might to, I must recommend you play the "BrogueLite" (https://github.com/HomebrewHomunculus/BrogueLite) version of the game, since it makes some very welcome changes to the vanilla game if you don't like to be manipulating RNG that much (the most important change is that it eliminates completely the identification minigame).

And the old repository can still be found here: https://github.com/HomebrewHomunculus/BrogueLite/releases/tag/v1.9.3-hotfix-2

No new code, but I've been creating QoL issues for the backlog. I think colour-coded item names will be really great - no more hunting in your inventory for that strength potion. Showing stat requirements in red if you don't meet them will make inventory juggling faster as well.
