Rogue Legacy [PC - indie - Steam etc]

[xopher]

This game is fantastic. It's all I've been playing when the FFXIV beta isn't up. It's terribly addictive. Reminds me of a cross between Castlevania: SOTN and Dark Souls.

Addicting as hell to be sure. Easily worth the 15 I shelled out for it, but feel completely burnt out after about 16 hours and completing the first runthrough. Goes to at least NG+++ that I know of, but I just can't do it personally.

Lot of stuff that gave a chuckle as I played through though.

I'm level 43 after a few hours. It's so fun

Hey guys,

New Boss Remixes

- 5 new bosses will be available to battle. These battles will be true tests of skills, and should be available to people at all parts of the game. These are not casual battles, and only the best will succeed.

New Class

- A new secret class can be unlocked by players. It’s pretty uber.

More Traits

- 3 New traits will be added to the game to add some extra variety to character generation.

More Rooms

- The map pool has been increased by 10% to add a touch more variety to your game.

More Achievements

- For the completionisters.

Fixes and Updates

- General balance tweaks and modifications to the game logic to make everything a little smoother.

- Also the Haggle skill will now actually be useful.

game just updated on steam so I assume it was the patch coming out

PS4/PS3/Vita versions announced

Rogue Legacy will launch for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita on July 29, Cellar Door Games announced.

The rogue-like game tasks players with conquering a magical castle which is constantly changing. Each time you die, your children succeed you, and each child has their own genetic traits. One might be a near-sighted wizard, while another might be a ninja. All the money you earn is inherited by your children, as well.

The PlayStation versions of the game will be Cross-Buy, so buying it on one PlayStation platform will get you the game across the others. Additionally, Cross-Save is also supported. Every feature of the PC version, including the patches, Bonus Zones, traits, and boss remixes, have been brought to the PlayStation version. The game is now also available in English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. There’s a Platinum Trophy, too.

necrooooooooooo bump!!!


anyone else playing this? I'd wanted to check it out forever but just recently got my 360 controller hooked up to my PC. bought this and Ori during the Steam summer sale. I was a little underwhelmed at first - amazing gameplay, but I couldn't get any further than the garden area - until I realized that Vampirism makes the early stages of the game a joke. the game is about playing as perfectly as possible; being able to heal away those little mistakes you make here and there extends your playtime enormously which in turn allows you to earn a great deal more gold which in turn makes you stronger, etc.


just need to get enough gold in one run to unlock randomized children (~6kish) and I should be omw to beating the game... let's hope.

[synistar]

Part of the game is dying to level up. I think I died a good 300+ times in my first run through.

Also fuck vertigo. That trait really is a mindfuck.

[Yuri-G]

300 times sounds about right. I was on gamefaqs and people were saying things like, 50 deaths on their first try... I felt like such a gimp.


I will not take a vertigo character, ever. did it once, that was enough lol


loving Hokage and Spellsword so far; I hear Hokage loses its luster around New Game+ and Assassin becomes the go-to for high-damage though. Spellsword is just badass all-around, being able to actually use your freaking spells more than once in a blue moon really makes things easier.
