Well, like rogue diablo is a endless stream of random-generated dungeons ... It's similar in that way ... But totally different in every other...

However, it does seem that Diablo is insired by rogue(-likes), from http://www.escapistmagazine.com/arti...of-Blizzard.3:

Having met Blizzard's Allen Adham at CES, Brevik took advantage of the opportunity to plug his own idea for a PC game: "I came up with the idea for Diablo ... when I was high-school," says Brevik. "It was modified over and over until it solidified when I was in college and got hooked on an ASCII game called Moria/Angband. When we pitched Diablo to Blizzard, we pitched a turn-based, single-player DOS game."
