Rogue Legacy is a genealogical rogue-"LITE" where anyone can be a hero.
Each time you die, your child will succeed you. Every child is unique. One child might be colorblind, another might have tourettes-- they could even be a dwarf.
That's OK, because no one is perfect, and you don't have to be perfect to win this game. But you do have to be pretty darn good because this game is HARD. Fortunately, every time you die all the gold you've collected can be used to upgrade you manor, giving your next child a step up in life and another chance at vanquishing evil.

This game looks fun, but $15 is a bit pricey and there is no demo. What gives? Anyways, no doubt it will be in a future humble bundle.
There is a demo. Here: http://www.roguelegacy.com/

To me a rogue-like game has randomized levels and a "you die once and it's over" deal. That's it.

OR even if it just bears a resemblance. Because, you know, English.
By that rationale you could say anything is 'something-like'.

It's a side scroller. How is that at all like Rogue?
