Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

Appears to be the best classic open source roguelike of the 2020's.

This website is really cool! crawl.akrasiac.org:8080/#lobby You can spectate players live and chat! Also has statistics.

Devs of this game are smart, they have one good in-tree tileset, unlike some other text-based games that didn't have an in-tree option...

Build on Ubuntu 21.10:

sudo apt install build-essential libncursesw5-dev bison flex liblua5.1-0-dev \
