Overall, player feedback on Rogue Legacy 2 is overwhelmingly positive, with users praising its addictive gameplay, diverse mechanics, and improved graphics over the original. Many appreciate the challenge it presents while still offering a rewarding progression system. A small fraction of reviews express frustration with some elements of gameplay pacing and complexity.
A roguelite platformer built on lineage: when a hero dies, you pick from a set of randomly-traited heirs, some quirks helpful, some deliberately disruptive, and every run banks gold toward permanent upgrades to the family's estate. It layers precise platforming onto the combat, and critics loved it, with an 88 average and a 90 on PS5, praising the depth and replayability.
There is a real critic-versus-player gap worth flagging. The player score sits noticeably lower, and the reason is consistent: progression can tip into grinding, with new biomes and bosses that feel like stat checks until you farm enough upgrades to pass them. It is for a Hades player who was drawn most to the meta-progression, the sense of every death making the next attempt stronger, and who does not mind a heavier grind and a platforming demand alongside the fighting. Runs on PS5 and PS4.
Single Player Only
