I don't know about the rest of it, but the attack/defence dice mechanic is identical in Heroscape. Maybe a dungeon focused version of that would capture something of the old Heroquest.

Of course, it couldn't be called Heroquest, as Issaries picked up the trademark after it lapses. Dungeonscape has a nice ring to it, though.
