Unnethack is probably my favorite fork of nethack. It has a lot of extra dungeons and new stuff without just it being a bunch of unbalanced chaff with breaking fundamental nethack ideas. (Sorry slashem fans).

For the general turn based roguelike games check out caves of qud. It has its flaws but is incredibly interesting.

Check also Pixel Dungeon (coffee break RL) and its mods. Shattered PD became the most popular and with lots of nice gameplay.

not to take away from their quality, but I'm constantly amazed that nobody has really one-upped PD/SPD in terms of mobile traditional roguelikes! are there any others you'd recommend? I can never seem to find any and always end up going back to SPD
