Doom has a roguelike, and it's likely you'll be eaten by a pinky

DoomRL

You can't escape Doom. After tearing open a portal to Hell on the Source engine , it's aiming its slavering maw at the roguelike genre with DoomRL , where you'll have to escape a dark and infested facility of demonic horror while also worrying about the looming threat of permadeath. No pressure or anything.

DoomRL already has a dedicated community talking shop and contributing content over on its official website , and the latest version, 0.9.9.7 , released yesterday after a little over a year in development. You'll probably want to brush up on the game's wiki as well before jumping in.
