This game is great! I highly recommend it to anyone interested in difficult platforming. Even with 100+ hours, I have yet to beat it, yet I still have fun everytime I play. I did have to restart once as it is not supported by Steam's save game sync. And yet, every night when I sit down and think about what I want to play, Rogue Legacy is always thought about.

About the game:
Start off as a naive, so weak you probably won't make it past the first few screens. Kill enough monsters and get that money so you can upgrade your skills. Hopefuly you get enough to upgrade SOMETHING, or else you must surrender a portion of it to the gatekeeper in order to play again. Just make sure not to buy an upgrade you don't need as every purchase will raise the cost of any future purchases. Run through the castle and discover chests with recipes for armor, weapons, and runes; all of which add to your base stats or include special abilites such as vampirism, flight, double-jumping, dashing, extra gold pick-ups, and so many more. I've never ran through the same castle twice but I have seen the same room on occasion, usually just a simple hallway or great-room or something. Each run through the castle features it's own surprises. Pick your hero wisely, and don't forget to equip the right equipment for the right hero for the right type of run. Eventually, get strong enough to tackle those bosses. One of the great things about this game is that, even if you are bad at reflex-based platforming, if you play it enough you will eventually be powerful enough to tackle the bosses without even flinching. Also full of fun mini-bosses that drop their own 'super-chests' .

I can't reccommend this game enough, I have had so much fun with it. I hate buying things when they are not on sale, but if you are looking for something to get lost in and make you feel like a total castle-romping badass, Rogue Legacy is the game for you and you shouldn't wait to play it!
