    Awesome super addictive game! Loved the first was one of the most challenging games ever to 100% planning to do the same with this one. Maybe 15 hours into it and it’s really hard but addictive better than the first in every way. The challenge room are a bit too crazy hard but maybe I’ll get better lol. Game might even be a 10, but I save 10s for my favs like hollow knight etc. stillAwesome super addictive game!

    it is entertaining most of the time, and the graphics have a quite minimalist but striking style, with an acceptably tasty story

    Many times I thought I hit the plateu of the game play. Ex. biome one I assumed was all there was. Turn out, through some clever exploration this becomes a rogue like Metroidvania. Definitely one of the best games I've played recently. Don't know if I'll have the patience to clear all the bosses. But, even if I stop now, Rogue Legacy 2 has given me hours of fun and surprises.    … Expand

    This 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 a good game but is unplayable on series S. The game crashes every 10 minutes.

    Back when the first rogue legacy came out it was a novel experience because there weren't many games like that out at the time, it was relatively a new and fresh experience. Rogue legacy 2 doesn't have that luxury, many good roguelikes have come out in recent years like Hades, enter the gungeon, or dead cells so in comparison to those games RL2 comes up short in my opinion.

    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

    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!    … Expand

    Uma experiencia interresante para os amantes do genero, mas que peca em uma progressão de personagem lenta e desinteresante, devido ao farming exaustivo, tornando o jogo realmente bom no new game+.

    Minha nota é bem particular. Quem é fã de Roguelikes vai amar, mas pra mim que não sou, achei que chega um ponto que fica muito repetitivo. Senti falta de uma história pra segurar a gameplay.

    It'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.

    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 is excellent in every conceivable metric. The gameplay is fast, tight, and feels fair. It’s simplistic but beautiful graphically. The music is excellent, and the story is intriguing but not in the way.

    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.
