Rogue Legacy 2 is a vast improvement in presentation over its predecessor. While it has a similar style, the pixelated graphics of the original are thrown aside for a more pleasing hand-drawn look. This has given the developer more scope for exploring traits such as Synesthesia, which shoots vibrant colors onto the screen. It also allows the more varied locations to shine and be more distinctive; each area has its own atmosphere. The new art style is certainly a big improvement in that respect.
Does Rogue Legacy get easier?
Rogue Legacy 2 doesn’t make your generational struggle any easier. This sequel makes everything harder — the gameplay is faster, the bosses are tougher, and you’re given so many more options. More options mean more ways to fail.
