Comment on Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions?

Have you tried Mystery Dungeon? I think there are four of them on Switch. There’s Shiren the Wanderer 5 & 6, Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX. If you’ve never tried the Mystery Dungeon format, then I’d recommend playing the demo for the Pokemon one to see if you like it first.

I’ve played several Shiren games (1 on DS, 3 on Wii, 5 and 6 on Switch) and I recommend Shiren 6 (Mystery Dungeons of Serpentcoil Island).
5 kinda went too far from its roguelike roots and feels too grindy, with too many ways to escape safely, especially easy ways to undo your death indefinitely.
6 is a lot more fun to me and makes good runs and crazy builds more special again.
For a very good introduction to the series, if you can play it, the port of Shiren 1 on DS is very good and already has a lot of what makes those games great. There is also a rom hack translation for the original on Super Famicom (that one only existed in Japanese), but I’ve not played that one much.
