Rogue Legacy is a classic platformer with an amazing upgrade system that makes it feel like you're making tangible progress with each playthrough. After each run you use the money earned to purchase important, permanent upgrades (new classes, improved stats, better equipment, etc). Although it is very fun, the upgrades get very expensive causing some runs to feel like a waste (you lose any unspent money.) Also, the controls are not perfect and many deaths felt cheap and caused me a lot of frustration. But overall, this game is highly recommended.

PROS
+ Brilliant upgrade and progression system
+ Exploring the castle is fun and exciting
+ Each run feels very different
+ Each character has random, game-altering (sometimes hilarious) traits
+ Lots of upgrades make progression fun and interesting
+ Charming characters, good graphics and sound

CONS
- Controls are not perfect, even with a gamepad
- Frequently felt like many deaths were cheap and beyond my control
- Progression may seem too slow for some
- Expensive upgrades render many runs a complete waste
