I have to say I've been into rogue-like games recently, so I picked this up. It keeps the main idea of a rogue-like intact, which is finishing the game with one life. Multiple characters usually end up dieing in the process. However, in Rogue Legacy, you pretty much have to die to finish the game because the only way you can upgrade your gear and your characters is by dieing, using the money you earned to upgrade yourself. What makes this game definitely worth buying is the several different classes available. You don't have to pick a class in the beginning and stick with it for the entire playthrough. There are also lots of ways you can play by wearing various armor and using different runes in your gear. You could be extremely mobile, absorb life from your enemies, or acquire riches with these runes. You can mix and match with every character too. The only bad I would have to mention is that the extreme randomness of other rogue-like games is gone. For example, no matter what class you play, your armor and weapons will still be the same. However this is compensated with each "tier" of gear altering stats differently, which can help or hurt your character based off your style. Another example of this is there aren't any magic potions, scrolls, or gear to identify. It won't impact gameplay though. All in all, it's a fresh new spin on the rogue-like 'genre', and it's definitely worth checking out if you can get it at $10 or less.
