      There’s Caves (roguelike). Unfortunately, it’s only on play store as far as I can tell. I haven’t played it in a while but it was really fun last time I played, it has a more sci-fi vibe than pixel dungeon, you choose armour with special abilities before each run, and currency persists between runs.

      Powder by Jeff Lait was my first roguelike. I still think it’s one of the better ones I’ve tried. It’s lightweight enough that you could probably run it on a potato with a few LEDs jammed into it, and it’s intricate enough that you probably won’t get your first win for months unless you’re already very good at the style of game

          That’s actually how I found pixel dungeon, haha. I was looking for another game that hit like powder. Powder is like Pixel dungeon if you removed all of the code meant to ensure seeds are beatable during level generation then added a bunch of gods that will do things like upgrade your weapons if they like you or straight up flamestrike your ass if they dislike you. It also has more intricate item interactions. For instance, one of the stronger things you can do in Powder is as follows.

          1. Dig a hole in the ground

          2. Fill with holy water

          3. Drop a mace in the holy water pool

          4. Freeze the pool

          5. Unfreeze/dig out the pool again

          6. Holy ice mace. Go forth and conquer
