User blog comment:Pseudobread/Guided Tour: Roguelikes/@comment-168424-20140211005804

What makes Rogue-likes compelling is the now uncommon aspect of procedural-generated maps which can be different every time you play. Some games with good graphics have a limited form of these maps, but usually no where near as varied as the old Rogue-like games.

Can anyone name a game similar to Nethack with good graphics? I loved that game.
