ToME nails the brief: deep character building and a modern UI that runs on virtually any PC. The tile-based presentation—with an optional lightweight 3D mode—keeps GPU demand negligible. Hundreds of class/race combinations and sprawling skill trees mean I've sunk dozens of hours in and still haven't tried half the builds. The install is tiny, so storage is never a concern. Onboarding is denser than a casual roguelite; the first hour can feel overwhelming. Clear tooltips and adjustable difficulty modes help, and the free/donationware model means you can test it before spending anything.
