I played Shiren the Wanderer a couple years back, it’s a wonderful roguelike with decent depth and a lack of cheap deaths. The warehousing items for future runs mechanic was neat, it was fun to set yourself to win up down the line by leaving something powerful behind to use again.

Games like DC:SS have more depth and choices, but are also harder to just pick up and play. I played crawl at a fairly high level (took 3rd in a tournament and had an 8 or 9 streak) but games like Shiren are more ‘fun’ to me now.
