Old-school, two-dimensional arcade game with RPG elements, referring to the popular 8-bit roguelike games. We travel through randomly generated castle chambers, eliminating enemies and various traps lurking in wait for us. In case of death, we continue the game from scratch, choosing one of our three descendants.

A genealogical Rogue-Lite game for PC. You will die, but your children will avenge you. They might be genetically deficient, but that's ok. You still love your colour-blind baby. Or do you?

GameTrailers: 8.4 / 10 by Ryan Stevens

Rogue Legacy gives a fresh take on old thoughts, plays well with a keyboard and better on a controller, and stands strong even if some of its own biggest traits are ever-so-slightly underdeveloped. Superbly designed and balanced, this game rides the line of frustration and fun to deliver that one-more-go feel that will have every barbarian king and queen roaring a battle cry, then gearing up to take on that ancient evil one more time.

Digital Spy: 4 / 5 by Scott Nichols

It becomes difficult to tear yourself away from Rogue Legacy, as the repetitive flow is brilliantly augmented by randomly generated traits and dungeon layouts. Before you know it, three hours and 20 generations of heroes have passed, and you finally realize that your cheeks are where you feel the strain the most from smiling the entire time.

Rogue Legacy hooks you immediately with speedy action, and keeps you hooked with deep character building and exploration.
