After a few hours of play, I’ve settled into a groove with it where I’m always keen for just one more go.īut it took a while to arrive here. So-do I love it? It’s a qualified yes-with the main caveat being that I’m wary of how much of my time playing it could take up. The character designs are also amusing, reminiscent (as I’ve read elsewhere) of Ghouls ‘n’ Ghosts.įor a roguelike, Rogue Legacy includes a surprising amount of setpiece content, including bosses and this door near the castle entrance. These diseases range from gigantism to IBS and colorblindness, and add different visual or gameplay features to each session-again, randomly. It also mixes the Rogue formula with a dose of retro, sprite-based design, and humor from its central conceit, which is that on death, one’s hero is succeeded by a descendant-likely afflicted with a hereditary disease. It makes things more dynamic and fun-I think of how enamored I was as a child with Legend of Zelda II in comparison with the SSI Dungeons & Dragons games. I’ve always liked the action-RPG idea, promising as it does to replace what can be rather boring turn-based battles with challenges to the player’s dexterity. Like Diablo, Rogue Legacy spices up the RPG formula with action elements. Rogue’s most famous recent descendent is the Diablo series, which reproduces its formula of random levels, loot drops, and simple, hack-and-slash gameplay. Rogue Legacy takes inspiration from ancient text-mode RPG Rogue, which gave players an overhead view of their character’s progress through randomly-generated dungeons made of text characters. The art may remind you of Ghouls’n Ghosts.

Once I’d let everyone know I was on Steam these days, my friend Felix asked me what I thought of Rogue Legacy-which I’d never heard of.

I especially like knowing that if I change computing platforms at some point in the future, I’ll still have access to my purchases-which I can’t say about games I’ve bought from the Mac App Store.

I’ve slowly grown more enamored with Steam, so much so that I announced yesterday it’s now my go-to point for games.

Since I’ve been living in Thailand, I’m away from my television and my consoles, so the only way I can play videogames (a longtime hobby of mine-I even did my honors thesis and an abandoned PhD on Japanese RPGs) is on my Android mobile, my iPad, or my Mac.
