Roguelikes are games similar to Rogue or Nethack. Generally a Roguelike is an RPG featuring randomly-generated content. Often magical items will be given only a vague description until properly identified.

Diablo has often been referred to as a modern remaking of the Roguelike, and other games, such as Baroque take similar steps in remaking the Roguelike for a modern audience.
