You can even see, in the game's describtion:
"The potent combination of random generation with perma-death proved to be intoxicating, and the game was so influential it spawned an entire genre: “Rogue-likes.”
Use your eyes and brain more you dumb fuck

You are the one who is stupid here. This game is THE Rogue, the father, the ancestor of ALL rogue-like games out there.
