Angband looks very similar to Nethack and both have a lot of similarities to Ragnarok. Even though it has a graphical interface, it still uses symbols to denote mobs and their movement in the top half of the screen (screenshot), but depicts them in pixel art in the radar below (notice the player at the door and the merchant).

Both games have the arrow key type movement. Ragnarok has a fog-of-war style veil covering the area (with skills like telepathy that would let you detect where enemies are regardless). Once uncovered, the mobs still had to be detected depending on your field of view, vision (you can technically have up to 5 eyes and 16 fingers), skills, or even blindness. Lots of spells, poly-morphing, trades, skills, items, armor, and lore -- really makes the game quite interesting.

Since it's based on Norse mythology, events in game closely follow Norse lore, including meeting Heimdallr on Bifröst and visiting many areas within Asgard as well as witnessing/helping in mythological events.

You can download the game (it's Freeware) from here if you're interested in checking it out.
