Pros
Pro Unique geometry
HyperRogue takes place in the hyperbolic plane. The grid of hexagons and heptagons and the straight lines which seem to be parallel diverge and never cross and many more unique and unusual geometric shapes.
Pro Easy to get into
A bit like in chess, the basic mechanics are based purely on movement, so no keys to learn. There are no stats, and most creatures are killed with a single hit -- the same is true for the player, but like in Chess, moves which would immediately lead to being killed are forbidden, so the game is over only when you are checkmated. Advanced parts of the game world include lands based on more complex mechanics, and magical orbs which give temporary special powers.
Pro Many different areas
Many areas based on various themes (R'Lyeh, Desert, Overgrown Forest, Living Cave, Palace, Carribean, etc.)
Pro Turn-based roguelike or local coop roguelite
Can be played both as a turn-based roguelike, and as a roguelite with smooth time. Local coop is available in the roguelite mode.
Pro Intuitive controls
The controls can be kind of hard to learn at first but they are intuitive, and once you get the hang of them they are great.
Pro Great graphics
The graphics are appealing and well done though they are not realistic, they fit the atmosphere quite well.
Pro Many upgrades that will keep the player busy
Such as collecting orbs and purchasing upgrades, pets, and skins.
Pro Cute pets to collect
You start of with one cute pet and can purchase more cute pets as you progress.
Cons
Con Strange visual choices
One of the selling points of the game is also one of its biggest weaknesses. For some, it's simply headache inducing to look at.
Con Older devices have performance issues
When many enemies are on screen there can be slowdown, especially for those on older devices.
