What is Rogue Legacy?
This side-scrolling action roguelite sends you through a newly generated castle each life to jump across platforms, fight enemies, and collect gold. When a hero dies, you choose an heir with their own class and traits, then spend gold on manor upgrades for future runs as the family tries to defeat evil.
For you if...
- +you enjoy challenging platform combat in short runs
- +you like trying heirs with different traits and classes
Not for you if...
- −you dislike repeating castle runs after each death
- −you want progress without farming gold for upgrades
