Brogue is very traditional and very thoughtfully designed. It's the author's idea of what Rogue might look like today if development had continued.

It's my favourite Roguelike because it's the genre distilled to its essence. Also the short bits of flavour text are very well written.

Brogue is also one of the most visually beautiful roguelikes despite sticking to the old roguelike convention of using individual ascii characters to represent everything in the dungeon. It is really impressive.
