Brogue is genuinely beautiful. I know pure roguelikes should be white ascii on black, but it's incredible what a little color can do. And the way it handles dynamic events in its environments. Really makes the cave "biome" come alive.
Even the original Rogue had color and graphical tiles as soon as it was ported to systems that supported them. I'm sure there are people out there who think "true" roguelikes have to be monochrome but I'm lucky to never have met them.
