  Rogue Legacy is the game for you. It’ll beat you down until you figure out what a monster’s tell is, until you manage to unlock just the right enchantments, or until you give up. If you’re persistent enough, and willing to spend the time to learn the game, it’s very rewarding, a ton of fun, and will last a long time. But it’s not a game for everyone. If you’re someone who doesn’t want to spend the time or have the patience to learn the game, or you just don’t enjoy repeatedly dying or losing characters, this is not the game for you.

  If you are a casual gamer who doesn’t want a genuinely challenging mobile game, then please don’t download Rogue Legacy and leave a bad review. Accept that they design it to be hard and that it requires a lot of practice before you will get near completing it.

  Rogue Legacy is a simple take on the tried-and-true roguelike formula, but it executes what it sets out to do exceptionally well, making for an endlessly replayable and enjoyable action adventure that no fan of the genre will want to miss out on. A high difficulty level, funny writing, tight controls and rewarding RPG mechanics make this one an effortless recommendation; the design of the game makes it easy to play in short bursts or long sessions, which means it's a great fit for the Switch.

  Rogue Legacy is fundamentally sound but the stringent play pattern where you very slowly incrementally improve can make parts of this novel and fun platformer too slow for its own good. Thankfully the sheer polish of the platforming helps to transcend the issues more often than not. Even if you wind up slowing down and not saving the day, Rogue Legacy is a family trip worth taking thanks to cool ideas and a killer hook.

  Rogue Legacy mixes up genres and, through some inspired design choices, brings out the best in both. A deep and challenging game designed for small sessions and maximum satisfaction.

  It may be a difficult game at first, but over time you become an unstoppable force of strategy and reflexes – tearing through the locations like wind. With easy controls to get a hang of and fun RPG elements via that unique upgrade tree, Rogue Legacy has been simply a joy to play from start to finish. Rogue Legacy is one the best games to make it's way to the Vita. With great gameplay, challenging enemy encounters, and well put together RPG elements you should grab this game.

  Outside of that, I consider Rogue Legacy to be the most accessible and addictive roguelike I’ve played thus far and with the implementation of the cross-buy/save, it’s the perfect time to pick up the sword and succeed where your ancestors have failed.

  Rogue Legacy's visual playfulness and willingness to tweak the gameplay with these traits builds a wonderful sense of discovery. It took me nearly 20 hours to finish the game my first time, but it never stopped showing me new and surprising things. These tiny, unique risks set Rogue Legacy apart from the various games it openly draws inspiration from — I've never played an action game or a perma-death driven RPG that succeeds the same way.

  Rogue Legacy isn't a flawless experience - eventually, traversing the castle interior grows a bit repetitive, some of the classes are too similar to justify their inclusion and despite being more user-friendly than its "roguelike" contemporaries, Rogue Legacy can still present a daunting learning curve - but it is a master class on efficient, fun game design.

  Despite this Rogue Legacy is an excellent game, and one that is certainly deserving of your attention. With Cross-Buy and Cross-Save functionality, it’s a perfect companion on the train, too. I just hope the Legacy family can forgive my exploitation, as once I finally overcome Castle Hamson, it’ll all be worth it.
