Striving for Light. It's the only real hybrid I have found between an arpg and a roguelite. A bite-sized PoE if you will.
Otherwise, in more or less the same genre, Magicraft (my GOTY 2024) and a tiny bit of Hellclock, tho it has yet to hook me because so far it's boringly easy - I'm still very early in the game.
Roguelites are gradually becoming my favorite genre - going to have to check Magicraft out. Sounds like it has some of the same elements that I loved in Noita?
It's top down Noita, or BoI+Noita. I have 1k hours and am still discovering new effects and combinations every run, it's nuts!
Pro tip: I wanted to milk it for all its got, so after reaching endgame content, I started a new toon and limited myself to 2 wands and no upgrades to life mana, starting stuff like keys or coins. Just "tentacle girl" updates and it's been really good. I die because of mistakes, not because of balance. Otherwise, you'll get a bit too strong and steamroll every enemy and boss at some point (100 hours in or so).
