This reminded me of an old arcade game -- Berserk. I liked the graphics and the animation. I didn't like the control scheme much, but it may have worked better with a controller -- big props for supporting alternate control schemes. As it was not turn-based, didn't feature discovery or exploration, and death didn't seem permanent (I didn't respawn at the beginning), I don't think it was particularly roguelike.
It was just way too fast paced for me. Also, one of the first things I did was to go through a door only to fall into infinity -- I had to manually quit the game to start over.
