  I've never reviewed a Steam game before. But this one has been engineered in a lab to deliver dopamine directly to my brain.

  Excellent gameplay, as many have pointed out here. However, I want to address one thing: the difficulty settings. Specifically, Rogue Legacy 2 is a rogue-like that caters to boomers like me, who now no longer have any semblance of reflexes or hand-eye coordination, but who like the idea of playing a rogue-like. This is not a game that turns its nose up at players who lack the skill to play a difficult game and insist they ‘gitgud’ at it – instead, it takes steps to provide various difficulty sliders and settings to allow players to adjust the game to their skill level (including even reducing the platforming difficulty). While the game recommends you play at the default difficulty settings, I turned it all down to the minimum and I’m having a blast (and I still find it plenty challenging). I regret nothing. I want to acknowledge that the developers took steps to include even losers like me when making their game. 10/10 would recommend to boomers who like the concept of rogue-likes, but lack the actual skill to play them properly

  Rogue Legacy 2 manages to offer an incredible amount of content and variety while still maintaining pretty much the exact same premise as the first game. The main additions are that different classes now play completely differently from each other and that the number of areas/bosses is up from 4 to 6. The game plays well with lots of thoughtful design elements inspired directly by player feedback thanks to the early access period. It's got a lot of areas and enemies, tons of upgrades to grind through, and interesting side content with the implementation of the extra boss challenges and new game +. This game is a really great experience not just for RL1 fans, but anyone who likes rogue-lites or action platformers in general.

  It's true to the original. Overall, enjoyable. My only complaint is that you can get one-shot by archers as a room loads. No one is fast enough to adjust to frame-of-reference and enemies on screen when the bots shoot as soon as a room loads

  Rogue Legacy 2 is a phenomenal platformer, roguelite, and action game. I confidently recommend it to anyone who has ever enjoyed any of the above. The core gameplay is polished and consistent. Movement feels perfect, from your first jump arc all the way through to advanced acrobatics in the late game. The weapons are incredibly diverse; there’s truly something for everyone. Each class’s kit is fully featured and well balanced, and you can swap out bits from Curio Shoppes in the world for some truly memorable runs. The game actively encourages and rewards trying everything out, but you’re also given tools that let you focus on your favorites if you so choose. It’s everything a sequel should be, and more. It’s completely comprehensible to players who’ve never heard of Rogue Legacy before, while including enough familiar elements to welcome back existing fans and improving on basically everything in the original. The 2.5D graphics are expressive and readable, and allow some striking lighting effects from time to time. The soundtrack is phenomenal, establishing an appropriate emotional tone from your humble beginnings through to the thrilling conclusion. The lore is surprisingly deep and worth exploring. The boss design is complex, fun, and fair. Upgrades are player-directed and full of impactful choices to sculpt your own playstyle. The economy is well-balanced, making each run matter and appropriately rewarding highly successful runs, without feeling too grindy. The new game plus system doesn’t just increase numbers, but offers new challenges and modifiers for you to choose from and new lore to discover. From top to bottom, the design is strong. Rogue Legacy 2 follows in its predecessor’s footsteps in rewarding mastery, but it’s also been designed with the new player experience in mind. The baseline experience is approachable, but the House Rules system gives you plenty of freedom to tweak the difficulty. If it’s too punishing for your liking, you can lower enemy health and damage, disable contact damage entirely, or enable limitless flight to bypass a troublesome platforming section. Want more of a challenge? Strengthen your foes, and increase the Burden requirements for NG+ runs. House Rules are designed to be turned on and off at a whim, with no penalties to progression/achievements, and the system makes the game truly accessible to everyone without compromising the core play experience. And of course, like any good roguelite the difficulty naturally corrects itself as you upgrade your stats between runs. Rogue Legacy 2 deserves your time. You can feel the development team’s passion in ways large and small while playing, and it consistently rewards you for playing and exploring. It’s my most-played singleplayer game on Steam, and I’m nowhere near done with it.

  A quick look at my play time should be enough but just in case: yes, this game is worth every penny. The platforming is top notch. Take it from someone that usually sucks at that. You'll find yourself jumping, spin kicking and dashing in and out of harm's way with the grace of a swan. A dangerous, armed (and sometimes dwarf) swan. The combat is just as good. It flows naturally and it will make you think you're better at video games than you actually are. And with 15 classes, each with their own weapon and talent, it's also varied and you'll be sure to find your match. The story is also fantastic. Every journal entry or memory will shed more lights on the history of the kingdom and you'll find yourself empathizing with even its most dangerous denizens. And to top it off all, the visuals are beautiful and detailed, and the soundtrack full of bangers.

  TL;DR: If you're looking for a quick roguelite fix, a single playthrough of this campaign will definitely do that for you, but don't expect it to be a roguelite to sink 100s of hours into, as it's not really that re-playable after initially completing it. The replayability of this game feels significantly lower compared to other roguelites due to a lack of interesting decisions to make during the run, as both the relics you find AND the starting traits tied to your character are typically too minuscule of bonuses to make or break your run (except for maybe the relic that gives you an extra life). As a result, most runs will play out with you min-maxing the early regions to gain health upgrades and relics, and then hoping you have enough HP to defeat the current region's boss. There really wasn't a single run where I found a cool combo with my relics and traits; all the variability came from the starting class and the starting class alone. To go further into traits and relics, the starting traits were cool to mess with in the first 10 or so hours of the game, but you eventually find out which ones are useful and which ones are too annoying to deal with (the worse traits give you more gold, which is the meta-progression currency in this game). For example, there's one starting trait that makes the game black and white. This is fun at first, but considering that some runs can be over an hour, it's not worth dealing with just for a 30% gold increase. You'll soon find that close to half the traits are this way, and I honestly kinda gave up halfway through and just kept killing my character till I got the most tolerable/favorable traits. The relics that you find DURING the run are again very tiny upgrades. Considering that after taking a certain amount your max hp starts to go down (though you can upgrade the amount you can take later on), you will eventually do basically the same thing with the starting traits; just exclusively take the ones that are very beneficial to your character, which is like 10% of them. Sometimes I'd go through close to 20 relics in a run and not find one that's worth getting. That being said, I do think it does a couple of interesting things that separates itself from other roguelites. The ability to go back to other regions to gather more gold and upgrades is really neat, and you can even skip over your current region and try to fight through the harder ones for extra gold. I also think the metroidvania upgrades were quite fun, as they both allowed you to properly traverse through the next region AND make the previous regions much easier to complete. Adding onto that, the regions were all very diverse from each other, and required careful thought in completing them. Each one had a natural progression in difficulty; adding fun twists on existing enemies (along with completely new ones), more diversity in platforming, and even new ways to unlock the region's boss. Considering that many roguelites focus on just changing around damage numbers and scenery for their different regions, it was refreshing to see this much work be put into making these regions so distinct from each other. The bosses were also really enjoyable to fight, well at least most of them. They all put on quite the show visually, and had fun attacks that felt satisfying to learn and combat. But I'll also say that some of the later bosses relied a bit too much on projectile spam, and some bosses seem really unfair to specific classes (mainly those who have long attack animations), but even those were still enjoyable nonetheless. The game really does favor quality over quantity with these bosses (I think there's only 8 or so in total), and I think that decision paid off really well. Overall, I don't regret buying it and I really did have a fun time with it, but if I'm being honest I don't see myself coming back to this one anytime soon.

  So far my personal GOTY for 2022, by far. I've played almost 200 hours but wouldn't be surprised to get above 300 eventually. Each run is fun, each run can be completely different, the progression system is great, performance is rock solid (and I play it in Steam Deck, no top-of-the-line PC; by the way, delicious game to play in Deck). Grindy, some people say; if you don't like good gameplay, variety and incredible flexibility on how to play it and increase the challenge after each victorious run, and only want to get the achievements and move to the next achievements list, maybe! Anyone who enjoyed games like Blasphemous, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Hades, Spelunky..., make yourself a favor and give this a try, won't come out disappointed
