By "modern rogue-likes", do you mean "roguelites"?
The only roguelite I have experienced is Dead Cells, and not that much. It is a
hack-n-slash in 2d.
If you mean actual roguelikes that are modern, the only that comes to mind is
Hyperrogue. It is grid based, turn based, and features "permagameover" (in
theory you don't die when you lose). It is still not really traditional. You
die in 1 hit, and the world is a 2d hyperbolic plane. The game field is built
around some crazy maths so there are "hyperbolic circles" whose center is
infinitely far away, parallel lines that get closer to each other, and lots of
phenomena that is not possible in common euclidean space.
