Cellar Door changed the art style somewhat, creating 3D characters moving against a hand-drawn background. There are also new classes, new weapons and new abilities, and the studio has updated the proposed environment with new generation biomes. There is also a inheritance system that provides heroes with constant new abilities and accessibility features, thought and designed to help “players progress even if they get stuck,”according to a press release.

Rogue Legacy 2 has been in development for almost four years now, and this sequel will be released about nine years after the first game was released. Rogue Legacy paved the way for many successful indie and non-indie roguelikes such as Hades.

What set Rogue Legacy apart from other games like Spelunky or FTL: Faster Than Light was the system that allowed players to continue their adventure by choosing their previous character’s legacy. Each heir had his own characteristics.

And if you’re wondering why this game is a must-have in so many ways, you can try it out for yourself since Rogue Legacy is free on the Epic Games Store. But hurry, the offer is only valid until April 14, 17:00 French time. Since the main story takes about 16 hours for most players to complete, you had to finish it on time before starting the sequel.
