Rogue Legacy is an indie platformer developed by Cellar Door Games. Personally, I am not into platformers but after playing this game, it has changed my mind. The game features randomly generated levels where the player has to go through in order to get to the bosses. After all of the four bosses have been defeated, the final boss door will unlock. However, there is a catch to this… You will not be able to kill all of the four bosses and the final boss in one run. You would have to die over and over again but with each death, you’ll get stronger and stronger and eventually, you’ll be able to slay all of the bosses.

Pros
+Fluid gameplay
+Great soundtrack
+Great variety of heirs
+Great variety of enemies
+Good sense of humour (character traits like I.B.S which stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
+Unique bosses
+Full controller support
+Steam trading cards
+Able to run on low-end PCs

Cons
-No Steam Cloud
-Gold farming may get a bit repetitive over time
-Controls are not as good on the keyboard and mouse than it is on the controller

Most of the charm that comes from this game would be its difficulty. It is a pretty challenging game and there has been comparisons of this game with Dark Souls. Some people have dubbed this game to be the platformer version of Dark Souls. So if you’re into hard games, then I highly recommend that you buy this title and try it for yourself. This game also has many other good points going for it such as the ones I’ve listed above. It has one of the coolest soundtracks I’ve ever heard from a video game. My favourite soundtrack from this game would be the one during the third boss fight. Rogue Legacy is 15 dollars and I would say it is pretty much worth every penny but if you’re still doubting whether you would like this game or not, then wait for the sales to come and grab it when the right opportunity arises.

RATING: 8/10
