Sorry, to me a roguelike must be top down and turn based.

I have a good list here. Nethack, DCSS, the old TOME 2.x releases, SCrap...

I avoid CDDA because I hate games with no clear ending or objectives ingame.

I respect your purism! But do try Duskers, regardless of classification. It's a cool game and shares some traits with roguelikes: autogenerated world, stuff to find and equip, permadeath, and high difficulty as the game progresses (though it's deceptively easy when starting).

Teleglitch is punishingly difficult from the start, and pretty fast paced too, so maybe give that one a pass.
