    Rage inducing grindfest. Terrible game design with many areas where you cannot avoid damage. I don't understand why you would make a game just to cause rage. This is Flappy Bird the rogue version. The devs are a joke for making the same game twice.

    A few things ruined this game's loop:
    1. You can't touch enemy. It has huge dmg.
    2. Most your class attack range or angle is pathetic, while enemies can easily attack outside the screen. Huge dmg too. 3. **** the trap, no, **** the traps. 4. No iframe if you dash, not even if you upgraded the dash. 5. Very little gain from grinding. 6. Latter boss, enemies giant health pool. 7. No    A few things ruined this game's loop:

    7. No build, resolve is the stupidest system.
    8. You have armor for dmg reduction, but it is capped at 35%, so the highest defense armor set is a joke.
    9. Magic is barely useful.    … Expand

    The nicest thing I can say about Rogue Legacy 2 is that it really makes me appreciate every other roguelike on the market. This game doesn't have any microtransactions, but it feels as soulless and unrewarding as a game built on microtransactions.

    I was a big fan of the first Rogue Legacy and am pretty soundly disappointed with the follow-up. 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.I was a big fan of the first Rogue Legacy and am pretty soundly disappointed with the follow-up.

Playing Rogue Legacy 2 feels like playing a 10 year old game, and not in a good way.… Expand

    Reminds me of meat ball. Pretty tough platforming game. And the world is very vast. You can spend hours just navigating through the maze. Story is lackluster. The upgrades are the main selling point of this game. I loved how we can upgrade the main tower, unlock new characters, upgrade weapons etc.

    What this game needs is some kind of navigation system to make our lives easier in order to know where we need to go next. Because currently navigating is a major chore on the high level map. It's an even bigger chore as you navigate between trillions of enemies clustered together in every room. Quite unsatisfying.    … Expand

    It would take too long to outline the things that RL2 does poorly. Combat, movement, exploration, upgrades. Everything looks and feels remarkably shallow. Rogue Legacy 2 is easily the worst roguelite I've ever played; every upgrade feels like an ineffectual waste and every bit of gameplay makes a strong argument to play something.

    RL2 adds a lot of complexity to the original game and exactly no fun. The original Rogue Legacy is, at this stage, kind of an old, janky game. This sequel feels even older and jankier.

    It's pretty sad. The first Rogue Legacy was more groundbreaking than actually FUN, but it certainly did push roguelikes forward. This sequel does so, so little to improve upon the first. It plays like DLC for the original that was cranked out in a single weekend 9 years ago.

    For all the improvement’s cellar door has made to polish, platforming and more diverse enemies…, the inescapable fact is that combat is still boring due to the 1 note brain-dead moronic enemies that dominate this game.

    The fundamentals of combat are still boring. That’s the core gameplay. That part is boring & archaic. Not much different from Ghouls n Ghosts 1000’s of years ago.

    Still I really appreciate all the player friendly options like choosing enemy health, turning off enemy contact damage, stopping level randomisation….    … Expand

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

    Rogue Legacy 2 brings a lot of new stuff to the table. This sequel tops pretty much everything that made the first game so good. You'll play it non-stop.

    Rogue Legacy 2 offers so many options when it comes to classes, upgrades, and ways to play it that anyone remotely open to the roguelite genre should check it out. I might have asked for a bit more direction in how to approach certain upgrade paths since the volume of choices can be borderline overwhelming, but it’s a minor quibble when everything else about the game is so fantastic. Rogue Legacy 2’s memorable world and overflowing personality will keep you invested until the very end.
