Quick Look: Rogue Legacy 2

Will try to take time out of my busy schedule of Rogue Legacy 2 to watch this.

This game RULES.

Damn straight.

Actually, I'm finally taking a bit of a break to play the recently released Salt and Sacrifice, after investing 238.3 hours in RL2 and completely maxing my castle upgrades (apparently max level is 5,332, for what it's worth!), though I still need to take all classes to XP level 50 in order to have truly maxed everything.

In the meantime, I actually started a new game in a separate slot so I could play again from scratch on the 1.0 version. Yeah, that's right, I played over 200 hours and started over. That's how much I like this game.

RL2 would be my game of the year in most years, but sadly this year it has to compete with Elden Ring, so I think I have to relegate it to 2nd place.

This game whips ass.

Also you know what's really good? Ranger with flying is really really good.

Really wish this was on Switch.

Thanks Jeff !

Yup. That would indeed be nice. For now at least it also works well on the Steam Deck for a portable option. But clearly the Switch has a larger install base.

They may still port the game to Switch and/or Playstation, but unfortunately there are no guarantees. The dev addressed the issue on the Steam forums here.

For reference, the original first showed up on Steam in 2013 and it took them a year to port it to Playstation platforms, two years to get on Xbox, and five years to get on Switch (with the caveat that of course the Switch didn't even exist when RL1 was released). Fingers crossed that they get around to it eventually.

I started a run the same time as Jeff, and also got to the same boss at the EXACT time he did, and it was my best run yet.

I also died pretty much the same time.

I picked this up for £5.50 total on Epic during Early Access (thank you, free £10 voucher), didn't touch it until it hit 1.0 the other week, and now I feel like I've robbed the developers.

It's really, really good. It can still be a bit of a mid-game grind, so watch out for that, but there's so much to do going well into NG+1 and beyond (including bonus lore and bosses!)

(I hope that when this makes it to the Switch, it'll have cross-save support, like Hades. This game would be perfect in handheld form for quick runs, and I can only envy Steamdeck users right now!)

24:30 was that a deep cut Pixies reference? Awesome
