    Fun but flawed, Rogue Legacy falls somewhat short of its lofty aspirations. But you can't fault the developers for aiming high.

    Perfect game. Runs perfectly on the Vita and the gameplay of doing a 10 minute run works great for on the go. Cross save is transparentPerfect game. Runs perfectly on the Vita and the gameplay of doing a 10 minute run works great for on the go. Cross save is transparent without manually uploading it. Controls are nailed.

    I've died more times in the past hour than my entire play through of Dark Souls 2. Brutal, sinister, and flat out unpredictable, Rogue LegacyI've died more times in the past hour than my entire play through of Dark Souls 2. Brutal, sinister, and flat out unpredictable, Rogue Legacy sounds like it should be un-fun. But the more I yell "THAT'S BULL****" the more I find myself charming up to its unfair mechanics and homages (one of my "heirs" is/was "Lady Shanoa"). The pick up and play style is a perfect fit for the Vita, and the ever present just-one-more-run syndrome will kick in over and over again while you die, laugh, swear, and forgive. Borrowing the procedurally generated structure of roguelikes, while taking the Metroidvania formula and running with it, it is near perfect. Worth every penny. The inclusion of cross-buy and cross-save are just icing on the cake.… Full Review »

    Divertido y adictivo por igual juego de plataformas. 9/10

    Me duró 26h pasármelo (llegar al boss final) pero cuando te lo pasas no acaba la historia. El castillo, que es el lugar donde transcurre el juego, cambia y se vuelve más complicado con enemigos más difíciles y mini-boses especiales que antes no había.

    El sistema de elegir 3 personajes (hijos) diferentes cada vez que empiezas una partida, con sus habilidades y defectos, hace que le juego sea aún más extenso y poco repetitivo.

    Las diferentes runas de habilidades hacen que a parte de querer pasarte el juego quieras conseguir monedas para desbloquearlas y ganar nuevos ''poderes''.

    No va a cambiar a historia de los videojuegos, ni es el primero en su estilo, por eso no se lleva un 10, pero si lo calificaría como uno de los mejores juegos de plataformas de los últimos 10 años.    … Full Review »
