“After nearly four years of development, bringing it to the fans is the final step in this long journey, and we hope they find it as special as we do.”

“Rogue Legacy is harsh and unforgiving, but it’s in a ‘losing is fun’ way. You’ll die over and over and the game will keep a backlog of all the characters you’ve lost, just so you can see how many have fallen as you have levelled up, upgraded, improved and finally beaten all the bosses, only to unlock New Game+ immediately afterwards.”
