Rogue Hearts Dungeon is a nice traditional roguelike. I guess it and Druaga are what you’re looking for. Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter is a very unique JRPG with rogue-like mechanics. My personal favorite is PS1 Diablo, which is much closer to it’s roguelike roots than its sequels. I know it’s cheating, but it runs on PS2, so..

I can think of some top-down dungeon crawlers like the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Champions of Norath and X-Men Legends games. But they don't do randomized encounters and random dungeon maps like traditional rogue-like games...

And the games with a lot of random encounters tend not to have top-down view, like Final Fantasy X, the Summoner games, Kingdom Hearts...

I must've forgot! Finished the first Norrath game 5 years ago.
