Roguelikes evolved much since the bare Rogue/NetHack.
Most popular ones follow the Diablo formula of overworld/town and randomly generated dungeons. For an awesome example try "Caves of Qud". You may find it a lot alike Ultima IV. It even has similar graphics.

Even my own little Roguelike starts in a seashore town, then you enter the forest, before going dungeons. :-)
