I know this might sound dumb, I always hear some Indie games are known as rogue-like games, But I never understood why, can someone explain this genre to me? and what does a game need to be considered rogue-like?

There was a game long ago (and it is still going strong today) called Rogue. The game used letters and numbers and the other ascii characters as it’s graphics. You were a person exploring a dungeon, fighting monsters and finding treasure. You gained levels and got stronger. And now any game that has your character gaining levels and getting stronger is called a rogue like game.
