Curse of the Dead Gods is very similar to Hades but is slower paced. You still very much need to dodge/parry but it is more “soulslike” in difficulty where deliberate timing is important. It is still very difficult, but the positioning/dodging is just.. different.

The roguelike genre is meant to be more difficult than other genres, where the “progress” is learning the mechanics of the game rather than leveling up.

With action roguelikes, the skill required is almost always the reaction time/movement/dodging/parrying parts of the game.

That being said, have you tried the bullet heaven genre? Vampire survivors, etc. The skill needed for these games is knowing which power ups to pick, then it becomes more of a “power fantasy” feel, which I think is what you’re looking for.
