The real catch, though, was that every new run was a new character - a descendant of the lad or lass who beefed it in your last run, with their own traits and quirks. Adam Smith (RPS in peace) wasn’t super hot on this mechanic (read: gimmick) in his Rogue Legacy review, but found the rest of the game to be a stellar little platformer that more than made up for that shortfall. “Thankfully, the actual game behind the gimmick is excellent and the clever use of the generational system is in the levelling of the keep and the collection of new equipment, adding an engrossing system of progression with long-term goals on top of the immensely replayable randomised platformer.” As far as the sequel goes, we’ve only got a gif and three screenshots. Those’ll have to tide you over for now, though Cellar Door reckon they’ll have much more to share very, very soon.
