Chalgyr's Game Room writes: By nature, I am someone who tends to gravitate towards grind-heavy games. Dungeon crawlers and JRPGs generally appeal to me for this reason. As a result, roguelike is a genre that has a tendency to rub me the wrong way, with death negating all of the hard work I had put in. It is just one of those challenges that I might start off amused by, but the eventual lack of progression starts to feel a bit like time wasted. Rogue Legacy finds a delicate balance between the hand holding so many newer games do today, without destroying my will to continue playing the way many roguelikes have a habit of doing. Described as a rogue-lite (not the first game to use this term, but arguably the most effective to date), Rogue Legacy manages to punish failure while rewarding success in a way that reminds me of titles from the Souls series, that have a knack for simply making you better at the game through repetition and understanding.

Playstation Lifestyle: I have an extremely long family line. Going way back, my ancestors are all weird and quirky, with a variety of odd traits. Some of these things may have helped them, and some may have been an obstacle, but they are all gone now, each one felled by the depths of the mysterious shifting castle. They have left everything they have to me, and it is my turn to enter the castle. The only problem is Im a colorblind dwarf.

Death is a common occurrence in Rogue Legacy. Between the title screen and the game over screen you will lose your cool; however, its in these moments of frustration where the triumph will compel you to continue playing, even after your 400th death. Rogue Legacy is challenging, but it becomes an addictive, challenging platformer.

Digitally Downloaded: It says it right in the title: this game is a roguelike. That means player death, more player death, and then for a bit of variety, some more player death.
