This game is rock hard, but perfect controls make the difficulty feel fair. So where is the progress you might ask? Well, you retain the gold you collected, and this can be used for permanent (!) upgrades, abilities and equipment.
If you die trying, it’s over (permadeath, gotta love it, right?), and you start over from the beginning with another character.
Your main objective is to explore a randomized dungeon and defeat the final boss. You start off by picking one of three characters, all with different spells and traits. Rogue Legacy is an action game with some platforming and roguelike elements.
