Attack the Geth, by Eben Howard

NOTE: This game was played using post-bugfix version 1.1.

I note it in the video, but just to reiterate: this is an example of variety without the "core element" of procedural content generation. That you have five different character classes with which to approach the enemy (nevermind that the enemy itself gets different positions, additionally affecting the variety) is enough to allow for some pretty significant replayability, and I'm sure it's plenty possible to come up with "good" random terrain for this game given some time. Even ignoring that bit, we see that the basic roguelike formula is there anyway, and there are a bazillion stats that affect how the game is played (rather than items). Not a typical roguelike, sure, but the spirit is there and that's what counts.
