We’ve now added gold modifiers to entice players to take on new challenges. Traits 2.0Though fun the first time, the traits in RL1 often wore their welcome later in the game. You must prove your worth, provided you can find them. And heirlooms are not simply handed to you. These are not basic lock-in-key abilities, but powers that fundamentally change how you play. True MetroidvaniaTo really push the metroidvania flair, RL2 introduces heirlooms: special items that permanently give your heroes new abilities that fully reveal the world’s secrets.

Each biome adopts different “build strategies” to create completely unique yet-still-randomly-generated regions. Revamped Biome GenerationWe went all-out with biome generation to make each area in RL2 feel completely new. The art uses heavy shading and all animations are done using stepping techniques to keep the familiar RL look and feel. The sequel features 2.5D stylings, with 3D characters against hand-drawn backdrops. Rogue Legacy 2 supports 15 new classes, with 15 distinct styles of play.īrand New StyleWe’re taking a whole new artistic approach to Rogue Legacy 2. Or sing and dance through your enemies, as the joyous bard, leaving only a trail of bodies behind you. Take to the skies as a Dragon Lancer and fly across the skies striking foes at massive speeds. Hide atop Ivy Canopies as the Ranger, and rain poisoned arrows down onto your foes. Wildly New ClassesNo two classes play the same. This is a world where improvisation, and not memorization is the key to success. Or take it slow and steady and build your character up until you’re ready for greater challenges.Įvery Adventure is UniqueNew monsters, new traps, and new layouts await you every time you enter the Kingdom. Go hard and fast, and dive deeper into the depths of a randomly-generated world. Rogue Legacy 2 also lets you play how you want to. Each child is unique, with their own traits and abilities. Spend your parents’ inheritance and grow the family manor to give your children a better fighting chance. That means it has all the trappings of a typical rogue-like (randomized runs, changing characters, and more), but with persistent upgrades, and persistent dead heirs. Rogue Legacy 2 is a genealogical rogue-LITE. Rogue Legacy is back! But now it's got a 2 on the end of it!
