Check out the variant of Angband called z+angband. The developer began
putting in accessibility fixes which go some way towards making the variant
playable.
As for Entombed being a roguelike, I'd say rather that it is inspired by
them. The UI is quite different and there are fewer features that
differentiate dungeon levels. Not disrespecting Entombed, I'm still happily
playing it quite regularly and hoping for updates.

Well this might be subjective.
i found myself trying to tangle with ascii and depending on only status
messages was really more trouble than fun, especially sinse a lot of the
really nice Angband features of the highlighter curser, like the ability to
list all on screen monsters with distance, and the ability to jump betwene
monsters, treasure and interesting objects weren't in either game (as I said
give Angband a directional look command and it'd nearly be playable with
status messages alone).
I probably ought to try again at some point to see if the curser in either
game has been improved to the point of making life easier.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
