Ok, is a Diablo-like a thing I can call it then? It's just such a specific type of game, the isometric top down view RPG with classes, customizable character leveling, randomly generated levels with area themes, randomized loot, a town hub and inventory etc. I've always heard those games called Rogue-likes but I never played Rogue.

It's an ARPG. Rogue-like has permadeath with random levels. Rogue-lite has permadeath with random levels but persistent unlocks and upgrades.

Also a roguelike is usually top down/isometric and tile based. Really not a ton of roguelikes these days, which is good as far as I'm concerned because roguelites are better.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon notwithstanding, of course.
