So let me start this out by saying this: If you're looking for a foundationally solid rogue-lite experience with great art and some quirks, this game is not a bad choice by any means, and you can certainly have fun with it. (i think it also was my first rogue-like, but not 100% if i didnt play BoI first) Rogue Legacy 1 is a game i still hold dear to my heart as it was the first game that i consciously played as an "Indie Game" and got me started to look deeper into smaller games. This isn't really a "not recommended" but as steam doesnt have a mid option, this is what im going with. However if youre experienced in these sorts of games you might find a lot of smaller things that will hinder your enjoyment. If youre looking for a solid rogue-like to grind out, its not a bad choice for a game. Geplaatst: 9 juni TL DR Foundationally great game, brought down by a lot of smaller issues. This is so you can quickly check which classes/challenges have been neglected).Īside from that, a solid 9/10 for me! Thanks guys, well worth the wait :) Have a table that has the classes as rows, scars as columns, with all the scores in the cells, and totals at the end. It would be nice for the cursor to remember which challenge you were on (for when you're retrying the same challenge) and it would be nice if there was an easier way to check individual class scores for each challenge rather than having to press 'Y/Triangle' over each scar. The UI in the Scars of Erebus is a bit awkward. I liked the miniboss trap room in the original (with the Doomvas) and I was kinda hoping there would be more of that kind of stuff in this one. I suppose some of the charm chest rooms were similar, but I enjoyed the lighthearted respite in the original!

I'm guessing they would have been a bit of an atmosphere killer in this, but it would have been nice to have an alternative. I miss the circus minigames from the original. I won't give away too much about NG+, but if you feel like you have bitten off more than you can chew, you can dial it back at any time. You can progress through the NG+ at your own pace.

So even if you have a series of bad runs, you will eventually have enough money to upgrade something. That's no longer the case now as there is a magic safe that will store a small proportion of your money before you start a new run.

In the original, I sometimes found myself having a series of bad runs and never having the money to upgrade abilities. You will always be in a situation where you can progress. Although bear in mind that there are rewards for using a variety of classes in the form of stat bonuses. I really enjoyed the boxer who has a combo meter and can float in the air while their rapid punches are making contact with the enemy! Additionally, there is an ability fairly early in the game which can lock a class to one of your heirs, so if there's a particular class you really enjoy, then you can keep using them. The classes in the original were more-or-less the same, just with different stats, but that's not the case now.

There are also exploratory side missions that rewards you with additional lore, bonus challenges, and damage buffs against bosses.

One zone in particular has a lot of verticality which is great fun for those into platformers. The number of areas has increased from 4 to 6 and the areas feel unique, rather than reskins of the same template. Some of minor annoyances from the original have been dealt with and the game caters to a broad spectrum of play styles and ability levels. Rogue Legacy 2 is an excellent follow-on from the first.
