Pixel Dungeon is a rogue-like, those existed way before Dark Souls. There are even text-based games running in a Unix terminal, I think Nethack is one of the oldest, if not the oldest itself.
Nethack can't be the oldest, because it was derived from
hack
.I don't know whether
hack
orrogue
was first, though.kagis

Looks like
rogue
was first.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_%28video_game%29
Heh, makes sense the first rogue-like was Rogue.
Funnily enough, Rogue isn’t the first. That honour belongs to the obscure game Beneath Apple Manor.
Beneath Apple Manor and Rouge's creators claim they don't know themselves nor knew of the existence of the other game. Lol.
Yeah that’s a pretty funny story! Just goes to show you how great ideas have their time!
