unlabelledView post →It's so weird how the legacy of Rogue is now the rogue legacy of Rogue Legacy, and is nominally claimed by anything and everything that's run-based—the way that was basically the default video game structure for many years. "I made a Roguelite shmup" my brother in Christ you have made a Dariuslike.

unlabelledView post →The fact that Sony has not hired, pulling a name out of a hat, Brace Yourself Games to make a Rogue Legacy/Isaac/roguelike Tokyo Jungle with a PS1 Indie Game visual style is grotesque negligence
unlabelledView post →Derek's reply makes me think about how I felt playing Rogue Legacy. Old game, people still trying to figure out the rogue-lite meta progression thing, but that game was the ultimate embodiment of "your success does not matter".
unlabelledView post →I remember, at the time, when I was first playing, thinking "wow the movement in this game feels kind of weird. Reminds me of Rogue Legacy in a bad way." Now I'm playing it in 2025 using a control stick & realizing maybe part of my feelings re: movement were because I played on a shitty d-pad. LOL

unlabelledView post →Eh, when you look into the history of the term roguelite, and the game that coined and popularized the term (Rogue Legacy), idk, it feels a bit revisionist to use any other term than roguelite to describe permanent upgrade type genre. Trad roguelike, roguelike, roguelite provides most clarity.
unlabelledView post →My son, a hardcore Roblox kid, came downstairs a few minutes ago and asked, "What's that game you like where you get the different character classes and you go through a castle?" "Rogue Legacy?" I reply. "Yeah! Could you get me that on Steam?" I don't think I've ever been more proud of him.

unlabelledView post →Thinking about Rogue Legacy 2.......... Maybe it's nostalgia (if it's not too early for that) but damn, that game and its OST really did and do have this indescribable, timeless aura about 'em.
unlabelledView post →My current evening unwind game is Rogue Legacy 2. While the RNG & combat is delightful, I get a special level of glee from the odd tonal juxtapositions. "Despite his sins, Estuary Lamech deserved an honorable death," says the brooding Betrayer. I, a humble clown chef with fart powers, solemnly nod.
unlabelledView post →#42 - Rogue Legacy: The Lament of Zors Super cool mod that makes the game bigger, grindier, and harder. It's technically official by way of being included with the Steam version so I had no choice but to play it before RL2!
unlabelledView post →I have put well over 150 hours into Rogue Legacy 2. I cannot in good faith recommend it. It's got the tone of a LEGO Salt & Sanctuary. It annoys me deeply. Yet I have played it to NG+6 and refuse to uninstall it. I hate how much I love this game.
unlabelledView post →Rogue Legacy 2 is a ridiculously fun game. lots of replayability. also, cheap!
unlabelledView post →🚨CREATORS & PRESS🚨 I am looking for people who love the sweet core of NBA Jam/Mario Strikers, the progression of Rogue Legacy, or mini lego mechs Is this you or do you know someone who'd love this game? Comment, DM or email me!
unlabelledView post →Rogue Legacy devs just "open sourced" (custom license) their first game and I'm guessing as an invite for game devs to learn/take a look. #gamedev I don't know the whole story behind it but honestly I think any aspiring game dev should check it out github.com/flibitijibib...
unlabelledView post →Live now on Joystick! Playing some Rogue Legacy 2 tonight, doing a bit of testing on my streamerbot setup so I can automate redeems in the future, too! 💜
unlabelledView post →Guess who finally got around to completing Rogue Legacy 2? This girl! 😎 Really fun and polished game! If you're gonna play both RL1 and RL2, play RL1 first cause it's harder to go back after getting used to the improved experience. If you're only gonna play one of them, make it RL2. 😊

unlabelledView post →Appleseed's Indie Game Of The Day! Day 78) Rogue Legacy 2 by Cellar Door Games This rogue-lite game is so fun. Each class is super fun and has a great playstyle and each new character is born with unique traits and quirks that make them different, yet each character plays off the lasts' legacy.
unlabelledView post →so after 90 hours, I finally beat Rogue Legacy 2!!!! Yay!!!! Wooooo!!!!! This game has so much new game plus content, but IM FINALLY FREEEEEEEEE Ideally I'll go back to Hyper Light Drifter to finish that, and I will, but also.... I picked up the touhou rhythm game since it was on sale 🥰😭
unlabelledView post →in slightly more positive news before bed, Rogue Legacy 2 isn't quite vibing stream wise, but I love it and it runs fantastic on Steam Deck, so I'm really excited to pull this game into my offstream game fun after next week. Hopefully I can beat Hyper Light Drifter first 😩
unlabelledView post →I am going to be streaming a game here in a few, kinda wind down the Sunday. I’m thinking Rogue Legacy 2 but may mix it up and do Noita instead…
unlabelledView post →game cheat engines exist that's about all I got in general, I wish all devs would include really simple "cheat codes" or "house rules" that allow players to mess with some really common settings. Rogue Legacy 2, Baldur's Gate 3 (now), and some other indie titles are great here.
unlabelledView post →Started a new Rogue Legacy game, for the first time in a couple years. Right off the bat, beat the dagger-throwing carnival game for a really sweet item, and by generation 5, had most of my kit together.

unlabelledView post →Saw a comment like this about the (amazing) Rogue Legacy also. The game was finished, updated for years but players are so used to being sold DLCs and to have their game be an alpha version at launch, that they think shipping a finished game is abandoning it. Wild.

unlabelledView post →I spent most of the evening on the couch, watching my kid play Rogue Legacy 2. First off - this game has the best difficulty settings I’ve ever seen. *chefs kiss* Second, it was shockingly entertaining to just sit and watch him play.
unlabelledView post →55. Spelunky (2012, Xbox 360). Wild to consider, without this, we wouldn't have Hades, Rogue Legacy or any number of similar games that followed in its dungeon crawling roguelike wake. 13 years on, it still plays like gangbusters: brutal difficulty buoyed by clever design.
unlabelledView post →God Rogue Legacy is so frustrating though that game managed to take all the mechanical tension of a roguelike and make it not matter at all like it 100% doesn't matter if you die. It is kinda earlyish but some games of the old style still come after it

unlabelledView post →@markyuasa.bsky.social you mentioned Rogue Legacy, but have you tried Rogue Legacy 2? It's become my default steam deck game before bed. It still frontloads a lot of the randomness with traits and classes, but you can find a dozen relics during a run that further augment your abilities

unlabelledView post →I played a lot of Rogue Legacy 2, and while I personally wanted to keep the House Rules off, I was quite impressed with the amount of customization this game allows. 😯 Just another one of the many, many ways in which RL2 is superior to RL1! A great way to do a sequel / prequel. 🎮
unlabelledView post →There it is: 100% complete on Game Pass. The last time that I earned 100% across multiple platforms was Rogue Legacy on Steam and then when it was added to PS+. It’s not perfect (is any game, really?) but this is an all-timer for me. Easy recommendation now that it’s on all consoles.
