Rogue Legacy 2 feels like a reimagined version of the 2013 original with the benefit of more time, money, and hindsight of how the roguelite genre has evolved over the years.
The world presented in Rogue Legacy 2 can be intimidating due to the game’s heir system and procedurally generated areas. You can often get dealt a bad hand, take a gamble that doesn’t pay off, or feel stuck when progressing through the castle, but there are many ways to overcome the seemingly impossible obstacles placed in front of you.
While Rogue Legacy 2 does have many systems that negatively impact you, there are many more systems and upgrades that are beneficial to you, allowing you to stack the odds in your favor and give you a fighting chance. Whether you give yourself more Resolve, increase your damage output or up your health, you can make each subsequent run easier and easier if you play your cards right.
