OurRogue Legacy reviewin 2013 described the original as “a smartly crafted platformer with randomly configured rooms and a clever sense of progression.” It is! Then mere weeks ago, our former John (RPS in peace)declared it"still the most approachable roguelite of them all."

Building on those foundations,Rogue Legacy 2switches to a new more illustration-y art style, with 3D models and painted backgrounds. Other changes include some metroidvania-y progression with special items that give new abilities, an overhauled traits system for the weird and wonderful quirks your heirs can have (traits in the first range from gigantism making you hard-hitting but huge, to alektorophobia making smashed furniture sometimes spawn a rowdy live chicken), new weapons for classes, and other general newness.

Rogue Legacy 2 will debut in early access onSteamand the Epic Games Store on July 23rd, priced at $20. The price will go up to $25 in the middle of early access, then up again to $30 once it’s complete.
