April 2025

Jogo divertido, tanto no gameplay como nas habilidades dos seus personagens que vão surgindo quando você perde vidas.

April 2025

You'll probably like Rogue Legacy if (but not only if!): You're up for a tough-but-fair 2D platformer roguelike with big chunky graphics which thematically feels a bit like a Castlevania game, but whose gameplay features fast movement and big floaty jumps, feeling bit more like a "melee Mega Man" game. (I recommend this game, Rogue Legacy over its sequel, Rogue Legacy 2; I prefer the tighter character movement and level design of this original game, which does still hold up well here in 2025.)

Nov. 2024

A classic roguelike, worth a play for historical reasons. Rogue Legacy 2 really does blow it out of the water, but I go back to play it from time to time for the happy memories.

Sept. 2024

I've played roughly 50 hours of Rogue Legacy for each of two stretches. The reason: there are really two games in one here, and you have to get past the difficulty wall of Game 1 to get to the real fun of Game 2. Here are the basic mechanics: you soldier into a grimdark castle as a knight with a choice of a randomly generated and unusual trait (for example, you're color blind or you're super small). You get as far as you can into randomly generated dungeons (with reoccurring enemies and high-level area environments) until you die, and then you're given the chance to do the whole thing again as New Knight with another random trait. OR You do everything I noted above except you DON'T die. Instead, you play it safe, collect as much gold as you can, then boogey back to the castle entrance to unload all of that cash into better weapons and stats. So, you know, a pretty standard roguelike setup. The difference that made me quit initially after 50 hours, and then pick it back up again years later to run another 50 hours, is that your exploration will get you to a set of four bosses who are, let's call it, "punishing". You're going to hit some walls here quickly. And since there's so much to do and explore outside of those fights, you might find yourself racking up time exploring all four main areas first. This is Game 1: drilling down through the first tier of the dungeons until you have to meet and defeat the bosses. After that, though, it's not New Game+ business as usual with upgraded enemy stats and the same basic structure. No, after Game 1, there is a host of new and even more punishing bosses that get unlocked, and which require doing as much with all of that gold and those skills as you can. Which is to say, if you're even casually interested, you're going to have at least 15-20 hours of a great time in Game 1, and if you want to push forward, you've got all of Game 2 to look forward to as well!

Sept. 2024

This is a difficult rogue 2D platformer. The conceit is that you are traveling through a castle, which is kind of a metroidvania-like map, getting treasure and abilities and fighting monsters. If you die, you get a choice of a new character who might be stronger, might get more money (which lets you upgrade), or might make you move backwards. It's a hard game and can be frustrating at times.
