All that gold from your last run will unlock a huge variety of upgrades. Once you pick your class, you get to the progression which really makes Rogue Legacy 2 work. Sometimes when you’re not ready to take on the next boss anyway, it can make sense to do a quick run where you’re getting more than double the normal amount of gold, even if it’s not going to be the run where you beat the game. While you probably don’t want to play a character who dies in one hit, you’re often incentivized to take on these challenging characters with the promise of bonus gold. These can be as minor as your character being blue, somewhat more annoying like them being color blind, making your next run black and white, or significantly more challenging such as one disadvantage that makes your character powerful but die in a single hit.
While each class has its own abilities, stats, and attacks, many of the characters have their own disadvantages as well. If you want more freedom, you can even unlock the ability to reroll your classes. Even those I was less fond of, though, like the bard, are at least interesting and worth checking out, and the three choices each time means you’re never really stuck playing one of your least favorite options. I eventually became a big fan of the valkyrie, who can attack in all directions, the boxer who can build combos with subsequent punches, and even the chef with their healing ability and big pan they attack with. Initially, they’ll be from a pretty short list of classes, but eventually, you can unlock 15 classes, each of which plays quite differently from the others. At this point, you’ll be given three potential descendants of your last character to choose from.

The full game almost doesn’t start until after that first death, though. If you’re good enough to get too far on the first run with no upgrades, well, kudos, I suppose.
You’ll enter the castle and fight your way as far as you can, but before too long, you’ll very likely die. You can do decent damage, have decent range, decent mobility, everything you’d expect of such a class.
This starting class is a pretty standard jack of all trades, master of none. On your first run, you’ll play as a pretty standard knight for a game like this. If it grabs you, there are all kinds of documents and files hidden throughout the world which will give backstory to what is going on, but it mainly serves as a backdrop to explain the main mechanic of the series, which is that when you die, your descendants jump right in and continue your story. While the opening gives you a bit of a story involving a king in search of immortality and the estuaries who have helped him, it’s not worth worrying too much about. You start Rogue Legacy 2 by dropping into an underground castle, searching for an artifact. Rogue Legacy 2 is the latest roguelite to stand among those wonderful titles, stealing hours of my life and making me repeatedly promise myself that this will be my last run. By adding an element of progression, games like Hades, Dead Cells, and Slay the Spire have gotten their hooks into me.
In recent years though, roguelites have changed my mind. I like a wide variety of games, and whenever I have to spend hours on a single challenge, I start thinking about my backlog and what games I’m not playing by throwing myself into this one. Challenge is great, but I like games that I feel respect my time. The idea of throwing myself against the same challenge, again and again, has never really appealed to me in video games.
