![]() It’s worth noting that the equipment that you buy, either from the blacksmith or the enchantress, isn’t restricted to your next run, once you buy it you can use it in any future runs, which I appreciate since it can make the game more bearable for some people if they’re having trouble. However, before you’re able to start your next run, you actually have to renounce your remaining gold. The gold that you don’t spend on your castle can also be used to purchase equipment from the blacksmith, or runes from the enchantress, to take with you on future runs. There are several upgrade paths that open up as you expand your castle and these are not only straight-up stat upgrades such as increased health or weight carrying capacity, you also get to unlock new features and gameplay systems as well as new classes. If you’ve played the first game, then you probably were already expecting this, as this system is Rogue Legacy’s iconic permanent progression system of upgrades. After selecting your descendant, you also get to use any of the gold that you’ve gathered in your previous run to upgrade your castle. Then there’s the permanent progression and upgrade system which so many people loved from the original. For example, the ranger requires you to aim your bow, which can take a bit of time, while the barbarian attacks are extremely powerful but make you vulnerable as you have to stop moving whenever you attack. Each has unique play styles and require you to play the game at a different pace. ![]() There are currently 42 different traits, with more on the way, and 4 different character classes, barbarian, ranger, mage, and knight. However, in exchange, you gain +150% gold. For example, there’s this one trait that makes it so that you die in one hit. Despite there being some nasty traits, the game attempts to counter this disadvantage by offering you a gold bonus modifier which increases the more debilitating each trait is. Each of these has their own class, weapon, talent and spell, as well as a unique trait that can considerably alter how it plays, such as gigantism, which turns you into an easier target, or nearsightedness. Despite this, there are two things that set the Rogue Legacy franchise apart.įirst, whenever you die, you get to pick your next character, your descendant, out of 3 different options. In terms of gameplay, Rogue Legacy 2 is pretty simple and could easily be described as a 2D action platformer. Rogue Legacy 2 is a roguelite where players control a line of descendants, as each heir does their best to clear the kingdom from whatever evil that ails it. Never played the original and don’t know what you’re in for? Then allow me to quickly sum it up. This obviously means that the current build is missing a lot of content and it’s still a work in progress, so if you were hoping to finally sink your teeth into more Rogue Legacy goodness, then I’m afraid you won’t find that here, yet. So, was it worth the wait? Well, that is a tricky question to answer and the reason why, is that Cellar Door Games have opted to release Rogue Legacy 2 into Early Access. It has been over 7 years, but finally, the time is upon us, the time when Rogue Legacy finally receives a sequel is here. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further.
