I am not that into roguelikes, but this game lets you play in roleplay mode, so when you die you respawn at the last checkpoint. You can also save the game whenever you want (as long as you enable the option), so it becomes less frustrating to someone like me who just wants to come home from work and relax with some exploration. The world generation is also great, as it does not randomly generate everything, so the general layout is always the same.
