As someone who liked roguelikes before playing Mystery Dungeon, the genre as a whole always had this appeal to it, even though it is turn-based.
Hell, even though most Roguelikes are still text-based, they are actually really fun to play because of how the game mechanics work. If you add graphics, you get something that is absolutely fantastic.
tl;dr - The games stand on their mechanics, not their graphics.
