Rogue Legacy 2 Review

[@benjaminh1034]

I’ve played over a 100 hours in EA, which is very rare for me. Something about this game is super addictive. It blends rogue lite with light metroidvania elements really well. The movement style is quite unique and takes a bit of getting used to though.

[@ThisNameIsNowTaken]

Thats rogue legacy for you. One of the greatest games ever made. Please come to ps4.........

[@kobuseksteen411]

The first Rogue Legacy still makes me go back to my Vita every now and then.

[@scarletdreams4228]

Got this game today, if you on the fence on getting it than get off that fence and dive in. The game is 100% worth it.

[@RagnarokMic]

Absolutely love the original, hope this eventually hits PS.

[@CowKirbo]

Yeah idk why it isn't there by default

[@XboxBestBox]

Not coming to ps

[@RagnarokMic]

@@XboxBestBox The developers have left open the possibility, we’ve seen “exclusive” games jump multiplat down the line even when not timed exclusives.

[@XboxBestBox]

@@RagnarokMic maybe but rouge lites don't do well on ps anyway. Returnal was a great one and didn't sell well at all.

[@RagnarokMic]

@@XboxBestBox Sold like half a million being on just PS5, that's not too bad, Sony considered it a success. Hades, maybe the best ever, sold mostly on Playstation.

Great game. It is challenging at first, but there is also a lot to do. Really enjoyed it via early access.

Another must-play indie gem 💎 games being fun to play first and foremost is a rule AAA seems to have forgotten recently…

[@MisterBrimm]

I've been playing it in early access but its cool to see its finally officially released. This one strikes me as a bit tougher than the first, but let's see what the final balance is like.

[@3dLuck]

Don't worry, is just Inflation. Unless you are a great player & a speed runner for the first ending, then is ok to just unlock stuff, even randomly, just buy what you can. The game has a Game ++. You will always get overleved by the mobs unless you are "THE GRINDER".

[@ateacherwhogames8893]

The one thing that stopped me finishing the first one was how enemies also levelled up as you did (though not as much). Hope this one doesn't do that.

[@Kejosruler]

Nope, it does not. RL2 is overall more polished than RL

[@iankinsel2242]

Enemies are of a consistent level for each game or "thread" you play. Once you beat the final boss and start a new thread, the average level of the enemies will increase by a set amount if you move to a higher level thread. It is completely possible to be over leveled for the enemies your currently fighting. Later, you can go back to an easier thread to see just how much stronger you've gotten against lower level enemies.

[@kapiteinlulhaas7612]

Why wouldnt they make this available to consoles. It's like printing money.

[@Kejosruler]

Firstly, Xbox One and Xbox Series thingy are both consoles. Secondly, they are a very small team and wanted to focus on one console for day one release. It is very likely that they will bring RL2 to PlayStation and Switch in due time
