Rogue Legacy

It looks good and fresh at first but it's really annoying. There are much better metroidvania out there, like A Robot Named Fight, or just try Aria of Sorrow and Symphony of the Night which are prolly the best of the genre.

Great gameplay, fun exploration, and a great balance of persistent progression and roguelike cruelty. Be warned, it's very hard to break out of its "oh just one more try" cycle.

Seriously. Adictive, fun to play, a lot of content, real difficulty, lots of jokes and a lot of character progresion makes this game one of the best games this year. Sure there will be people saying names like last of us, bioshock and such, but this one is awesome, fantastic and an example for indie developers on how to do a fun game.

When you make a game in which about everything feels clunky, unbalanced, laughably unfair and rough around the edges you still have a solution : Put "Rogue" in the title. It excuses everything. Broken hitboxes => rogue ! Infamous manoeuvrability => rogue ! Absurd difficulty with 100% hit chance situations => rogue ! ... No. =>Bad game design. Ps : And if people still don't agree you can tell them it is a tribute to 90s platformers. :) See ? You're INVINCIBLE !

Surprisingly, this game actually requires a relatively robust graphics card to run at a decent clip, but based on what I could play in slow-motion, it's fantastic! It may actually be the bump I need to finally upgrade my graphics card.
