  • Summary: Rogue Legacy 2 is what you'd get if you mashed Rogue Legacy and a sequel together. Every time you die, your children will succeed you, and each child is unique. Your daughter might be a Colourblind Archer, and your son could be a Pacifistic Chef. Either way, one of them is getting conscripted.

    Rogue Legacy 2 is the perfect sequel. It retains the core of what made the original fantastic, with every feature adding tremendously to the experience. Its cleverly revised class system adds near-limitless gameplay variety, which makes each attempt fun – even when you fail abysmally. This game is everything I wanted from the follow-up, and then some.

    Rogue Legacy 2 isn’t just another can’t-miss indie hit, it’s the best work yet from Cellar Door Games. With its affordable price point in mind, there’s no better time to start your family tree and get lost in the ever-changing castle.

    Sadly, I don’t have a Steam Deck. (Note to self: somehow obtain a Steam Deck.) But I do have Rogue Legacy 2, and I can say that even if it’s not portable on the Xbox, it’s still every bit as fun as it was the first time around.

    With Rogue Legacy 2, Cellar Door Games manages to surpass the original Rogue Legacy in every single way, resulting in one of the best roguelite games ever created. You won't be able to stop playing.

    Rogue Legacy 2 is a fun game that incentivises variety. The different character traits can come together and make truly unique runs that don’t feel repetitive.

    Addictive, varied, precise, coherent, relevant, Rogue Legacy 2 serves as the ideal sequel to the cult 2013 game that popularized rogue-lite. But more than doing better on absolutely every level (classes, weapons, traits), the Cellar Door Games studio is setting a new benchmark in the genre thanks to a clever mix of metroidvania and randomly generated levels. It's simple, the whole thing works like hell. Never frustrating, always giving the feeling of moving forward, constantly reviving the pleasure of the game with different powers and heroes to embody, Rogue Legacy 2 returns and marks the rogue-lite with a red iron. One of the best games of 2022.

    It’s impossible to be disappointed with Rogue Legacy 2. As a sequel, it does everything it should: keep the spirit of the original in tact, while bolstering the experience with new content. Bigger and more interesting areas to explore mean you’ll be battling your way through Rogue Legacy 2 for much longer, and the new suite of character classes makes it more interesting than ever. Add to the mix new challenges, more complex traversal mechanics and more ways than ever to upgrade your character, and you’ve got a winning formula.

    This game is a shining example of how to not only make a good sequel - but also how to make an excellent roguelite experience. ChallengingThis game is a shining example of how to not only make a good sequel - but also how to make an excellent roguelite experience. Challenging (but not overly difficult), rewarding (upgrades truly give a sense of progression), beautiful (amazing art and sound design), and interesting lore-wise (without being overwhelmingly). I thoroughly enjoyed the first Rogue Legacy many years ago, and was worried that the sequel would fail to follow its footprints, as many do nowadays. However, this fear was quickly relieved within an hour of play. This game improves upon essentially everything from the first - more unique worlds, far more diverse classes that all feel viable, and much more customization and variety from run to run. You can get as much out of this game as you want - whether that be a single run to get the first ending - or hundreds of hours of enjoyment (with the occasional swing of devastation). And better yet, you can play through the game at your own pace with the customization options known as "House Rules" (enemy hp, damage dealt/taken, contact damage, etc.), if you aren't the hardcore kind of game.

    TL;DR - Rogue Legacy 2 expands on all the good things from the original and adds much more new stuff with it. A challenging and humorous masterpiece well worth your time and money.

    It's very addictive at first but the gameplay is quite basic especially compared to some other rouge-likes. The bosses were good but againIt's very addictive at first but the gameplay is quite basic especially compared to some other rouge-likes. The bosses were good but again quite basic with their basic moves. The dungeons itself were quite cool and the tower level especially was the best. Should have included more stuff to do in the dungeons though.… Expand

    It's a good game but is unplayable on series S. The game crashes every 10 minutes.
