Rimworld is life.
Does it count? It has the hallmarks of procedural generation and technically has distinct “runs” (though a single run can last dozens of hours, I know from experience). It just seems too “grand scope” for me to consider it a roguelike, I suppose.
I think if Dwarf Fortress is considered roguelike then Rimworld is too.
That would be the DF Adventure mode, which is roguelike in the original sense.
DF colony sim is not roguelike.
