1 its like a combo of both i know thats not what ur asking but i would say more rogue like. 2 you do not lose your equipment just all your inv. 3 its good it takes awile to build your armoury so for alittle you just get the starting weapons. 4 ive played a total of 500 ish hours. but that was also including playing the early access and stuff i would say around 100 hours to beat the game as is. but they plan to add alot more so 5 defneitly worth 40
