Dungeon Mercenary is a modern ASCII art roguelike with influences from brogue and Sil.
From brogue, it takes the runics system but extend it: you can put the (multiple) runics you find on armors/weapons/shields. This allows to "craft" your items. From Sil, it takes the combat versatility: you can wield two weapons if you're an offensive player, or wield a defensive blade (i.e. a weapon with a parry bonus) and a shield if you're a defensive player.
Dungeon Mercenary offers a wide variety of playstyles ("builds" in brogue's terms), from offensive warriors to defensive warriors, and from offensive mages, sneaking mages, and never-without-my-army-of-allies mages.
It features both entirely generated levels, and hand written levels. Generated levels may contain special areas, such as cemeteries, throne rooms, "red carpet" areas, choice treasure rooms, closing rooms, etc.
You can play with the mouse or the keyboard. It is available both as HTML5 (embedded in a browser) and as a desktop application (Windows, Mac, Linux). It is designed to work well on different screen sizes (use +/- to resize).
