   I really try to not rate games a perfect 10/10 but look... I could NOT stop playing Rogue Legacy. I played through the entire game at least 7I really try to not rate games a perfect 10/10 but look... I could NOT stop playing Rogue Legacy. I played through the entire game at least 7 or 8 times and could probably jump back in and play it some more now. I lost a lot of sleep over this game; it really gives you that "Just one more life..." desire to keep going.The game is always changing and always challenging. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all players.… Expand

Procedurally created levels has been an alluring concept but ultimately disappointing in 9 out of 10 games that offer it like Cloudberry Kingdom and Daylight (sorry I just couldn't get into them). However, Rogue Legacy hits the nail right on the head for how to do randomized level design. This is easily the best side-scroller I've played since Symphony of the Night. There are a number of hilarious references to pop culture stuff ranging from fairly obvious to jokes that I can only imagine a small percentage of people will get right away (i.e., reference to the movie UHF but I won't spoil what the joke is). I can't stop playing this game. It is hard but I'm slowly becoming a much better player. While I play lots of games, I'm not great at any of them and this is not so hard that it becomes frustrating. I always feel like I'm progressing and there is so much to do. Really and exceptional and fun game.… Expand

I played this game for over 35 hours and I still can't stop..it's very addictive. With it's retro style it brings back memories of older games. It has a pretty nice story and I like the fact that it was also quite funny at some points. The things I hate most about this game are those Remix Bosses! Spent hours on them, but I gave up after beating two...it is just impossible. But overall, it was a good and enjoyful game.… Expand

   Rogue Legacy takes a while to get into. At first I hated it. I then learnt how to play and understood the concept of the game, as I progressedRogue Legacy takes a while to get into. At first I hated it. I then learnt how to play and understood the concept of the game, as I progressed and levelled up and learnt enemy attacks and patterns, I soon realised this was a very well made roguelike/Metroid/vania adventure.
   
   You will die a lot, but that is all part of the game. As you progress through the random generated castle you gather gold. Once dead this has to be spent on upgrades, weapons and armour before re-entering, otherwise the gatekeeper takes all your gold. As you level up items become more expensive so staying alive longer and collecting more gold is a must in order to progress.
   
   The music suits the game, the controls are tight and the graphics nice (in a retro style).
   
   Put some time in and you'll enjoy this little gem.… Expand

   I was exited to play this game for a LLOOOONNNGGGG time mainly because I never had a decent computer or a ps4 up in till this point. The gameI was exited to play this game for a LLOOOONNNGGGG time mainly because I never had a decent computer or a ps4 up in till this point. The game is flawed, but I am glad that I bought it. The controls couldn't be better, the game is fast and addicting, and its basic mechanics are very solid. The goal of the game is to get gold, level up, explore the randomly generated castle, and beat the bosses when prepared. Also when your character dies, they do not come back, and you must continue your adventure with one of three children. the game is also very changing, but its deigned around being challenging. However, their are several downsides to the game. There isn't much enemy variety. There are at least 10 different types of mages, 6 different types of skeletons, and 7 different types of floating eyeballs. Also most of the bosses are based on another enemy in the game. These i feel are not very large problems, and there are defiantly more than 3 different types of enemies, but it still holds the game back. If you like fast action 2D platformers, give Rogue Legacy a shot.… Expand

   Can't get into this type of game. Guess I burned out on these 20+ years ago, and I seem to remember they were better back then. ConstantlyCan't get into this type of game. Guess I burned out on these 20+ years ago, and I seem to remember they were better back then. Constantly dying just to go run and jump and poke some things again, in a jumbled castle with no personality at all....no thanks. I'll just keep my Milton's Secret Castle memories and go find a better game to play with a bit more interesting gameplay to it.
   Enjoy it if that's your thing, but my personal review score is abysmal.… Expand
