Yus! A roguelike is the same exact experience every time.

If anything at all is unlocked for subsequent playthroughs, it’s a roguelite!

Nah, I'd disagree with that. Unlocking variety doesn't change the core loop like power progression does. One makes the game more diverse, and the other makes it easier. Otherwise you'd say that a game changes from roguelike to roguelite just by adding DLC.
