Rogue Legacy

92% 👍 OF 18K
About This Game

Rogue Legacy is a genealogical rogue-"LITE" where anyone can be a hero. Each time you die, your child will succeed you. Every child is unique. One child might be colorblind, another might be a dwarf with vertigo. But that's OK, because no one is perfect, and you don't have to be to succeed.

Player reviews say you can…

  • …die and choose between three heirs, each with a random class and a run-warping trait like colorblindness, vertigo, or upside-down controls.
  • …stack vampirism runes so killing enemies heals you, then retreat to earlier rooms to farm back to full before pushing deeper.
  • …lock the castle's layout with an Architect so the map stays the same, letting you return to a boss or a favorite route for a fee.
