Traditional Roguelikes (Turn-based) / Re: Tips on easy-to-learn roguelikes?

I recommend you to try Brogue. Simple yet advanced, ascii yet beautiful

Agreed. Brogue requires a much smaller number of keys than most roguelikes. The streamlined interface goes further; you can even use the mouse for most things if you'd like. Clicking on items or creatures for instance will tell you all about them and how they work (assuming you've identified whatever the item is). This includes incredibly useful information when looking at a creature. What is the least number of hits it could kill me in, and what special powers does it have, and so forth.

I dabble in other roguelikes, but I keep going back to brogue because the interface doesn't get in my way.
