Rogue Legacy

Surprised there is no thread about this game (well nothing came up on search at least!).

This genuinely looks very interesting:

It has been at the top of the Steam charts for a day or so (which given that COH2 is just out is no mean feat).

Has anyone played this yet?

I am about to buy it but am interested in people’s opinions of the game.

What If I said to you that even the pirates have gone out and purchased it

I'm shocked that more people are not talking about this game, then again I expect most to overlook it without giving it a chance due to how it looks but yea - its an amazing game!

Hmm this does look really good, just hadn't heard about it before.

Might have to pick this up.

Sounds epic.

This game is awesome. If I hadn't been so busy lately I would have been on here gushing about it too

This game is stupidly hard and it is made worse by the poor and unresponsive controls. It's also frustratingly random even for a roguelikelike, and there are a number of room layouts that are practically impossible to navigate. I would not recommend this game unconditionally to anyone, and if you don't have a joypad then I would actively advise against buying it.

I dont usually play these sort of games, but its quite good. Hard but addictive. Must try just once more.

This game is awesome but stupidly addictive. Maybe the controls aren't great on a keyboard, I haven't tried, but they're excellent using a 360 controller, very sharp and responsive. Yes, it's hard, but that's what makes it satisfying!

Managed to beat the second boss last night using a Barbarian King because I'm bad at platformers and nothing else could survive how often I get hit.

Although the Paladin would be good too if my reactions with the shield weren't so bad. I'm much better than when I started though and not just because of the upgrades, there's definitely a learning curve although it's a bit steep at first.

Found my first 'Helios' Blessing' last night too, made about 20k gold that run.

I have watched this game on youtube and its a retro look indi game, I've been waiting for the summer sales to buy this game as I do think $15 is a bit much for a indi game.

Good point because everyone knows indie games are only worthless crap.

Exactly. The same game re-hashed 7 times is far more worth my money and time than an interesting and original concept.

I've played them, and this. Aside from both being platformers with some RPG elements they aren't particularly similar.
