WazHack is the major one that attempts this and there's also been a handful of 7drl that do it. WazHack is pretty popular so I would say yea, go for it.
WazHack - good looking, 3D rendered, sidescrolling and deep roguelike. Many useful keyboard shortcuts and you can change the key mapping in the settings. It's not an endless runner. It's a pure roguelike with very much depth. (The android version is cheaper than the Steam version) -

I started playing WazHack recently. If you like NetHack or really any of the early Roguelikes, this is for you. Plus there's a demo, so no risk.
I'm finding it somewhat frustrating compared to NetHack, because it seems slightly less precise. But that might be because I'm not totally used to the interface yet. I know the dev has posted here before, /u/wazwaz.
I think WazHack is exactly what you are looking for.
WazHack is without a doubt my favourite tablet roguelike, but only the first few floors are free so it might not be what you're looking for.
Hell, The Dungeon Again is ok.
Dungeon of Slyn is also ok.
I wouldn't recommend playing any of the classics like Nethack or Angband on a touch screen, but Endless Dungeon is basically Nethack adapted for mobile and with graphics added.

WazHack 1.4 Update! New Items, New Monsters, whole new side dungeon, and more!
WazHack is a 2D, Sidescrolling, Turnbased RPG RogueLike made by Waz, that plays Fast, and plays Well, with both Mobile and PC! OMG! Imagine Nethack, but reimagined as a Graphical side-scroller instead! That is WazHack. WazHack rocks!
With Procedural Generation of the Dungeons, which ensures that each new adventure is Full of Different rooms, Creatures, Items, and Opportunities. Along with 16 Different Classes, with differing Abilities, Skills, starting equiptment, different character Alignment, and even different Pets, WazHack lets you descent down the Dungeon of Waz Your Way, Kittie, Doggie, or Monkey in tow!
Plus, it's packing Meaningful Talent and skill upgrades you can choose; want to play a melee wizard? Sure, but you better start training that sword arm! Maybe a Spell Casting Knight? Possible, but don't tank your Int, and be on the lookout for a few good spellbooks.
In short WazHack is a Fast, Easy to Pick up and play Turn-based Rogue-like RPG, with the Depth and Fair Difficulty to keep you Engaged for the long haul. Even shorter, WazHack is Awesome! Care to Observe the Awesome? Get WazHack many places:
