These shops will let you bulk up your armor, and add new abilities like dash attacks to your characters. ![]() You can also upgrade the damage level you dish out, the amount of gold you can collect, and even get shops that come up before you go to the castle. You can unlock a bunch of possible classes for your future generations. You can upgrade your life bar, the amount of mana for using special weapons (a la Castlevania), as well as getting other things. But you can use the gold you’ve earned during the last play through on upgrades for your progeny. Of course, once you die, the castle will look completely different. As you go throughout the map each time, you’ll find new areas upon every play through. In spite of the fact that this game shares many of the same tropes seen in the trilogy of NES Castlevania games. There are many, moments that will make you laugh. There are other cool in-jokes like the clown target test. Kind of like the record room you see in VVVVVV. There is also a room with a jukebox you’ll randomly find where you can change the background music. Often times you’ll find journal entries where the fighters will get information about the current castle layout from their ancestors. One pretty cool thing the game does with this is self-referential humor. Like Rogue Stormers, this game rearranges pre-designed rooms in new patterns to create new maps. This idea is used in Rogue Legacy as well. There are a lot of these traits, and each one of them effects how the game is played.Īnother common trait among this style of game is procedural generated stages. Or see everything in a mirrored perspective. It gets better though, because there are pros, and cons each child inherits. So that means, a son or daughter of the previous combatant. However, upon your next play through, you’ll get to play as one of that characters next of kin. ![]() But you’ll be starting the game over again. You’ll get to keep some of the items you ground for. In pretty much every game of this style, if your character dies, even once, for any reason the game is over. But beyond that, there is a very creative twist that sets the game apart from other Rogue like/lite style titles. In the case of Rogue Legacy, the Rogue elements are blended with Metroidvania game play. WOW: Some of the randomness is worth checking out alone. Rogue Legacy is another game that mixes Rogue elements with bits of other genres. But after seeing fellow blogger Esperdreams (whose stuff you should also check out) live stream the PlayStation 4 version a while ago, I fired it up. I’m really late to the party with this one, as it’s been in the backlog for quite some time.
