Description
Rogue Legacy is a genealogical rogue-"LITE" where anyone can be a hero. Each time you die, your child will succeed you. Every child is unique. One child might be color blind, or they might have Tourette's. They could even be a dwarf.

That's OK because no one's perfect, and you don't have to be to win this game. But you do have to be pretty darn good because this game is HARD. Fortunately, every time you die, all of the gold you've collected can be used to upgrade your manor, giving your next child a step up in life and another chance at vanquishing evil.

  • A genealogical roguelite where every death results in stronger children and a fresh new look at tackling the castle minions.
  • More than 30 unique traits affect gameplay in unique ways, such as Colorblindness, Gigantism, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
  • Procedurally generated castles that extend replay value by making every attempt a unique experience.

8/10
The roguelike gets an inventive jolt of genetics in this gloriously witty dungeon crawler.

8/10
An inspired mix of roguelike and platformer that dares to be fair with its rewards and its penalties for death – although not necessary its random medical conditions.

9/10
A wildly inventive 2D Roguelike with a 30-second gameplay loop that lasts for 20 odd hours.

Great Title from Celler Door Games!

Super fun rouge-lite thats kept me hooked for weeks. Too many things that hit the mark for this side-scrolling adventurer to mention but I'll say it is challenging and has an air of mystery that is endearing. I love the devs naming of the enemies and their sense of humor throughout an otherwise dark story. Easy to pick up, hard to put down, difficult to master

Has everything to be good but...

I don't know but I can't seem to like it. In teory, it should be a great game. For me, the grinding is just too boring. There aren't many flaws in the game if any so if you like the genre, it may be great.

Classic and funny

I have killed far too many generations of this family to count. And it is amazing over and over and over again. I'll play this for years to come.
