Weak and strong characters alike can be upgraded by finding coins. All of these effects play out in the game, and make for fun times even when the deck is stacked against you. Others are only seen in black and white, while some see an upside-down world. Some are really powerful, but have hazy vision. One of the biggest gimmicks here is the use of a bloodline - you’ve got a whole family history to play as in order to succeed and each character has their own quirks. Other times, you’ll be in enemy-laden sections that test your mettle and have you wishing for a more powerful character class or better equipment. Sometimes you’ll have platform-heavy sections. The only area that stays the same is the very first screen and everything’s at least a little bit different after that. Rogue Legacy uses procedural generation better than any game on the market. However, it’s so addictive that you easily find yourself spending hours at a time playing it.
Since you have to restart with all of your non-purchased equipment lost, it’s perfect for short play sessions. Rogue Legacy’s tendency to kick your ass in minutes ironically makes it a portable-friendly title. Instead, you’ll want to take your time and move carefully to last as long as possible. Simply going into a room and running wild is a surefire way to get killed. It all comes down to properly-timing jumps and attacking with precision. Swarms of enemies appear at times, but the tools needed to survive are always there. Rogue Legacy combines its platforming and action elements with a touch of Metroidvania, some Rogue, and basic RPG stat-increasing and gear upgrades.
This is because while it combines hard gaming styles, it also controls perfectly and is far more fair than GNG ever was. Since it’s got the genes of both GNG and Roguelikes, you can expect a hefty challenge from it, but unlike a lot of really tough games, this one is impossible to rage-quit. Now, it’s coming to a major set of systems for the first time with the Vita, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 all getting it in cross-buy form - making it quite a value. It seamlessly blended Ghouls ‘n Ghosts-style action-platforming with the Roguelike/Roguelite sub-genre and received critical acclaim for it. Now a bonafide institution, it’s hard to believe it’s been a year since Rogue Legacy hit the PC.
