It's similar to geometry wars. It has lots of game modes, great controls, and great music.

any suggestions for a beginner roguelike? something that's not infuriating

anyone can recommend me a cheap roguelike-roguelite

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.
What kind of builds are currently possible

I only play community edition, and my ascensions have been lightning, conjuration, teleport and some reaping combinations. My mastery was teleport with invis/reaping support. Multiplicity weapons are good (spear, rapier) but i tend to get ambitious and play hard for a mastery and screw it up.
Best roguelike to start with?

Your best option is Brogue (community edition), in my opinion.

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.
