I just finished Rogue Legacy a few days ago, and thought the game actually deserves that I write a review about it. It took me 33 hours till I could beat the final boss, and all of these hours were a lot of fun. Honestly, I don't believe that the game is SO hard as many people say. Of course you will die a lot at the beginning, because your characters will be very weak. The good thing is that dying never gets frustrating because with the collected money you will almost always be able to upgrade your next heir, so there will be progress all the time, meaning that you are actually never wasting your time. At the end of the game you will be at least five times stronger than at the beginning (hit points, weapon damage, ...), and will be able to fight your way through all the castles without that much trouble, even if you are not a magic jump&run gamer (I am none). By the way, I played the game with the keyboard, and it worked very well. I often found myself to play another round of Rogue Legacy instead of my other games, because it offers instant fun, and I just wanted to finish another room, to collect a bit more money for my heir. I can really recommend this game to anybody who has only the slightest interest in either jump&runs or RPGs.
