Rogue Legacy 2 is a must-play game for anyone who enjoys roguelike platformers, offering addictive gameplay, unique traits and abilities to succeed, and a wide range of classes to choose from. The game mechanics are solid, and it offers customization and accessibility options. The hand-drawn aesthetic, immersive experience, and great soundtrack create a great atmosphere, even for those intimidated by rogue-lites or metroidvanias.


What we like:
  • Addictive one-more-try gameplay
  • Hand-drawn aesthetic and great soundtrack
  • Customization and accessibility options
  • Immersive experience with seeping lore and mix of darkness and silly humor
  • Offers more content, evolution from predecessor, and consistent progression hooks for extra motivation
What could be improved:
  • Challenging gameplay may not be suitable for all players
  • Story may not be a strong point
  • Randomness may be frustrating at times
  • Relics can make or break a run, which may not appeal to all players
