Are there any hack n slash or dungeon crawler games with combat similar to Dark Souls' controlled combat but with replay-ability and character customization of a rogue like?

Answer 1

As clarification:

I love how in Dark Souls the combat feels right. Parrying, different weapons, how armor weighs you down... I've played games like Torchlight and Fate before as well as indie games like Forge World. These are fun, but the combat is usually just "mow down the enemies" type stuff. I've been tempted to get into the older "true" roguelikes like DCSS, but I'm having a hard time wanting to do turn based... Anybody have any recommendations on a dungeon crawler that makes each battle feel important?

I have played Cube World before, and I really enjoyed that game. Sadly it looks like it isn't really going anywhere now... I just cant seem to find another game similar to it sadly.

I like having lots of customization for characters and play styles, and I also love the replayability of roguelikes/ randomly generated levels. I would get into an MMO like Guild Wars, but the ability to play offline and have a randomized environment is too tempting. Even if the game doesnt have much of a storyline or even any quests, I'm mainly just looking for good combat content and a game with good depth. Think DCSS or ADOM but as a dungeon crawler. I'll try and remain open to recommendations, please feel free to shoot any out and I'll try to check out suggestions for games that I've already looked at before.

Thanks for any help!
