Another browser rouge-like is Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. It's much more modern than its progenitors and its levels are much more detailed. https://crawl.develz.org/ https://crawl.develz.org/

    I was just fact checking myself and you got back first :) I might walk that back to being 'procedurally generated'.

  Modern doesn't have to be 'better'. DCSS it's focused on combat and Nethack/Slashem on emergent gameplay and cool new tecniques merging combat and objects' properties.

      Nethack and specially Slashem has lots of focus on objects, environment and monsters and secondary effects between them. With DCSS, you can't neither butcher mons or eat them in recent releases.

      I mean, DCSS isn't bad, but it focuses on combat and specially role/attributes and spells. A Felid Berseker from DCSS it's far more "arcadeish" on gameplay than Nethack's Valkyrie with swords/hammers. Also, on magical roles, DCSS will put lots of more options in your hand than (even) Slashem with #tecniques and without quirks like the spellbooks.
