Rogue Legacy

Rogue Legacy is a, by now, classic and influential rogue-like platformer. This game has a cute aesthetic, but is tough as nails, requiring grinding to level stats and proceed. Enemies and bosses alike pack a punch, although combat always seems fair, and attacks well telegraphed. The upgrade system here is interesting; you grind until you gain enough cash to purchase upgrades, such as health increases, new characters, and so forth. This builds your manor, allowing you new skills to upgrade on the skill tree.

The gameplay itself feels fun and rewarding, if repetitive. Everything you die, the castle you are delving into changes, meaning no two runs are the same. Even so, a small number of rooms means the game starts to feel repetitive. Although character traits for each generation exist, as well as multiple character classes, this doesn't really do enough to shake things up.

Graphics are pretty good, without standing out, and the music is pretty good, although gets repetitive quickly.

Positives:
+fun, rogulike platforming
+interesting and expansive upgrade tree
+great sense of achievement in overcoming bosses

Negatives:
-exceedingly repetitive gameplay and music
-progression drags
-enemies and bosses can be annoying

All in all, a mixed bag for me. While I enjoyed my time with the game, it did begin to drag, and I started to really look forward to the end. 6/10 - meaning this game was fun tomolay, but had numerous, and serious detractions, although not enough for me to stop playing.

First rogue lite game I tried and it was awesome. Really loved everything
