Rogue Legacy 2
Rogue Legacy 2 is what you'd get if you mashed Rogue Legacy and a sequel together. Every time you die, your children will succeed you, and each child is unique. Your daughter might be a Colourblind Archer, and your son could be a Pacifistic Chef. Either way, one of them is getting conscripted.

“One of the best Roguelikes. Gameplay can be casual and not too intense but highly customizable. It felt very satisfying to master every class as each one had different mechanics and enough variety in playstyle combined…”

“I love this game so much, it's my comfort food that I always come back to when I'm out of other games to play. Originally played it on GamePass, then bought it on PS5 to own. Now that I'm almost always playing PC, I'm…”
“Enjoyed the game, just entered post game and seems like there is much more to do and plenty of game left to play.”

“Eh.... It's a more polished version of Rogue Legacy, but more grindy and repetitive due to poorly designed upgrade scaling. It has two more biomes than the original game, but those two are very linear and they wear out…”
“If you're okay with the grind, this is a really cute roguelike that improves on the first.”
“Too much grind, game controls feel unresponsive, bosses start to spam the whole arena with aoe skills, story is non existent so if you don't enjoy grinding game is not for you because it cannot provide anything beside…”

“Very underrated game. I have a love of platformers and roguelikes, so this was a wonderful combination of the two (Spelunky 2 is one of my favorite games as well, go figure). Gives immense replayability- I 100%'d it but…”
“for the precision that is required the controls and overall handling suck. enemies annoy me rather than challenge me. for the first hour it was addicting but I see no value in continuing”

“I played all of this game in a dissasociative haze. I barely remember it besides not having the best of times. Kinda a middle of the road Castlevania/Roguelike.”

— a player, Steam review · 94 hrs played“Ridiculously faithful to the previous instalment. To the point where I now genuinely feel like I'm playing a decked-out & fully flushed modded version of the 1st Rogue Legacy. I had to go look at screenshots of the first game to convince myself that this isn't how that game…”
