I’ve been converted
MonoGame is a direct replacement, but it’s as if you were using a 2005-era DirectX to code in 2021. That’s good enough for most uses though.

Nothing is rendered when using Depth Buffer
RenderTarget2D inherits Texture2D. When you set a non-null RenderTarget to the graphics device, you're effectively drawing to a texture. So once you finish drawing to the RenderTargets, you call GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget(null), and then draw the RenderTargets in the game window by passing them as the texture parameter to spriteBatch.Draw(...). RenderTarget2D source code: https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame/blob/develop/MonoGame.Framework/Graphics/RenderTarget2D.cs

where should i start?
If you know (or are willing to learn) C#, this is basically how Monogame works. It's a framework rather than a full engine like Unity, so you have to do more yourself compared to Unity. But it sounds like that's what you want.

Game engine for a 2D, top down, rogue like, pixel art game?
2D pixel art? Have you heard of Monogame? It's all C# all day, so yeah you'll need to learn that. But it's also been used for a bunch of indie 2d pixel art games, so there's that too.

Not new to C#, but new to game dev. Anybody have some non-beginner resources for game specific development via C# or any other language?
I've never liked Unity. For C# I'd recommend Monogame, they should have a lot of examples.
