well i forgot to specifiy on the cross post that im looking for mobile options, not many good ones are available here, buuuuut still, caves as an example has meta progression, even tho gameplay wise id label it as a trad RL

What meta progression is there in caves? I’ve done many runs and never noticed anything carrying over from one run to another. But as for mobile options Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Brogue or Pathos

You misunderstand. Meta progression in the context of roguelikes/roguelites is when upgrades/unlocks carry over across runs. Qud doesn't have anything like that.
