A guy I know from way back when started a game dev company and has managed to successfully fund their game "Rogues Like us" through kickstarter. I probably should've helped him out by posting it here before the kickstarter ended but I guess this will still help them out a bit. Personally, I'm not so big on roguelikes or diablo-esque games but I figured there would be some people here who might be interested. The game has been greenlit on steam and should be coming out pretty soon so hopefully some of you guys will check the game out after its released :>

"Rogues Like Us is a 3D hack n’ slash rogue-like that combines the gameplay of The Binding of Isaac with the combat of Bastion, and brings it all together with a story and progression system that are based on the weapons you find and use.

In most rogue-like games, the focus is on the character, unlocking new items through gameplay to help them progress, and achieving a goal that the character has. The core of Rogues Like Us revolves around the weapons you find, rather than the people. These aren’t normal weapons, but Soul Conduits that feed off of your life force, giving you immense power in return.

Each rogue you play as will die, and with each death the weapons you use will feed and become stronger, imbuing even more power into the next rogue that comes along. These weapons are important to your clan, they protect the people you love. So what if you die? Maybe your efforts will provide enough power for the next rogue to achieve what you failed to do."

Just at a glance, the graphics look unique and the gameplay looks solid. Love the idea of progressing items through deaths - reminds me of Rogue Legacy. I'll give it a shot! :)
