![]() These were introduced to make Rogue Legacy 2 more accessible. This is addressed a bit through a new mechanic called “House Rules”. Obviously if you’re great at the game, this won’t be an issue for you. Castle upgrades do get pretty pricey which means even an okay run might only result in a single upgrade. The downside to this is you won’t be making nearly as much gold, so after dying it’s easy to end up with nothing to spend. Instead of fighting enemies, you’ll want to try and save your health so you can fight the boss without a disadvantage. This is mainly an issue when rushing to fight a boss once you complete the steps to find them. The most prominent is that the game does get a bit grindy. There are only a couple of negatives to speak of. The music is never overbearing – in fact the music that plays when upgrading the castle is super catchy – and the visuals are clean and fun. It helps that both the visuals and sounds are just as engaging and fun to experience. Rogue Legacy 2 is a highly addictive and challenging game that is easy to sink hours into. These make a return in Rogue Legacy 2 as well, but the double jump and upgraded dash are now a part of the main story instead of optional upgrades. Doing so will open a Fairy Chest that has special runes or items in them for you to use in other runs. These are special rooms where you need to either fight enemies or navigate some kind of puzzle or challenge. In the first game, dash upgrades and extra jumps were a result of unlocking runes through Fairy Chests. There are now more areas and they’ve even introduced metroidvania mechanics. The exploration system of Rogue Legacy 2 is also vastly improved compared to the first game. There is also an upgrade that allows you to reroll the options, making it even easier to find the ones you want to play. Some classes feel incredibly overpowered compared to others, but you have the option to choose from one of three characters at the start of each run so you can usually find one you want. These are just a few examples of the many classes there are to choose from. The boxer class gets up close and personal to devastate enemies with a barrage of punches. The gunslinger class has a rapid-fire gun that does massive damage from medium range. The chef class for example has a frying pan that can deflect projectiles back at your enemies. Combat and movement change based on which class you choose, which helps make the system feel more flushed out. Cellar Door Games has made something both franchise fans and newcomers should be extremely excited to play.For starters, there are more character classes now and each class has been built out to be a more unique experience. ![]() It builds on what was already well done in its predecessor while reworking any ideas that weren’t executed as well. ![]() Rogue Legacy 2 does everything a sequel should. Rogue Legacy 2 has taken everything you loved from the first title and improved on everything, this is an incredibly addictive roguelike with customisation options to make it accessible for everyone no matter your skill level! You may have never heard of Cellar Door Games unless you played the original Rogue Legacy, but I truly and honestly believe you owe it to yourself to give it a try. It absolutely deserves a spot right up there with the best of them, including its genre’s namesakes. Even if roguelikes/rogue-lites or metroidvanias scare you for their reputation of being too hard for the average gamer, play this one. The replayability is off the charts, even after you finally reach the ending. It is hard to find flaws in this game without resorting to extreme nit-picking. I can hardly stop playing it long enough to finish writing this review. Rogue Legacy 2 is a wonderful, beautiful, crazy-hard-and-yet-not-at-the-same-time game.
