  • 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 a wonderful, beautiful, crazy-hard-and-yet-not-at-the-same-time game. I can hardly stop playing it long enough to finish writing this review. It is hard to find flaws in this game without resorting to extreme nit-picking. Every aspect of it just oozes polish. The replayability is off the charts, even after you finally reach the ending. Even if roguelikes/rogue-lites or metroidvanias scare you for their reputation of being too hard for the average gamer, play this one. It absolutely deserves a spot right up there with the best of them, including its genre’s namesakes. 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.

    Rogue Legacy 2 is an enormous beast of an adventure, packed with fast combat, great platforming and endless replayability. It’s the kind of game that can be actively difficult to stop playing, with the spoils from one run opening up new opportunities in the next that can be difficult to resist checking out. While progress can be slow it rarely turns into a grind, with most hits and the inevitable death of the current hero feeling fair and avoidable if only you’d been just a bit more skilled. The generations come and go with each one sacrificing a member to castle and lands beyond, but the family obsession burns through the ages and makes it easier for the next descendant to go further and become stronger. It may take countless millennia to learn all the castle’s secrets, but seeing as it’s almost impossible to walk away from the quest, they’re bound to be unraveled some day.

    Don't look away, don't blink and don't miss that click. This can be said to both players who'll enjoy the fast-paced and excellent gameplay of Rogue Legacy 2, and players who'll might miss one of the best video games of 2022.

    This is the prime version of Rogue Legacy series; better, bigger and badder! Impossible not to fall in love with it.

    A sensationally encouraging indie gem that oozes charm. You determine the level of challenge yourself.

    As you might expect, such breadth comes at the cost of a little finesse. [Issue#372, p.104]

    I loved Rogue Legacy 1 and was very eager to exerience the successor. Sadly I won't be able to play the first one anymore, as the second oneI loved Rogue Legacy 1 and was very eager to exerience the successor. Sadly I won't be able to play the first one anymore, as the second one is so much better in every aspect, that there just is no reason to ever play RL1 again!

    More Levels, more enemies, more char classes, more more more.

    The only part that was holding me from giving this game a 10/10 was the stupid windmills in later levels. These are stupedious hard to master and nearly killed the game for me (due to an accident I have to play with one hand and a boardcontroller using my feet). BUT Cellar Door Games implemented a system called "houserules" which allow users to change the game to avoid such stuff. AND you can even still get all archivements!

    So, 10/10 it is!

    One of the most polished roguelike experiences out there. They improved on the previous game in every single way. A must-play for its genre.

Así el plataformeo funciona a la perfección, igual que lo hace el combate, con una razonable variedad de enemigos y bosses. También tenemos una buena variedad de clases de personajes jugables que vamos desbloqueando al avanzar, y una amplia selección de mejoras pasivas que podemos ir abriendo en el castillo o comprando en forma de equipo y runas que modifican el modo en que jugamos. A mayores, cada clase tiene un tipo específico de ataque y una habilidad, pero pueden ser modificadas igual que el conjuro, dando una enorme variedad de opciones de juego. Donde más flojea es en el aspecto narrativo que, si bien no es malo, tampoco puede competir con otros juegos del mismo género, en especial Hades que hace un trabajo impresionante en todos los aspectos, narrativo incluido.

    Gráficamente el juego cumple aunque probablemente a nadie le va a resultar demasiado memorable nada de lo que hay en pantalla. A nivel de sonido es más discreto, especialmente por la ausencia de voces dobladas. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, no he encontrado ningún bug real en el juego.

    Por todo ello, sin duda Rogue Legacy 2 es un juego muy recomendable, un clásico "solo un intento más" que se acaban convirtiendo en uno tras otro porque no lo puedes dejar. Un 8,5.

The original came out almost 10 years ago and the formula has seen virtually no improvement. It's truly shocking how little the devs seemed to have learned from making the first game, and how little they gleaned from the subsequent 10 years of rogue games becoming streamlined and dominant. Playing Rogue Legacy 2 feels like playing a 10 year old game, and not in a good way. Expand
