Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja belongs in the roguelike conversation because it uses cursed gear, randomized floors, turn-based combat, and handheld-friendly dungeon runs around a loud ninja heroine. The run structure is what matters: it asks players to build a plan under uncertainty, then live with the consequences when the run turns ugly.
