Don’t support controller

Would have been perfect with controller support

This is amazing

I’ve played the concert version and love it. It’s really cool to have a version on the phone that I can play on breaks at work. I really wish I had the other classes, but I understand it may be too Beefy for her phone.

Not worth $

Frustrating controls and difficulty curve. I’d say a poorly balanced and designed game overall while providing some nostalgia.

Good rogue like with an interesting character system which keeps you on your toes. Smooth controller support.

FAQ

What is Rogue Legacy?

Rogue Legacy is a critically acclaimed rogue-lite action RPG where you explore an ever-changing castle. Each time your character dies, their unique child inherits your bounty and continues the adventure, allowing for progression through upgrades and new abilities.

What are the key features of the Wanderer Edition on iOS?

The Wanderer Edition for iOS includes all content from the base game and Anniversary Update, plus new iOS-specific traits, rooms, mini-bosses, and a remastered control scheme optimized for mobile devices.

How does progression work in Rogue Legacy?

Progression is achieved through a genealogical system. When your character dies, their heir inherits gold and experience. This bounty can be spent on upgrading the manor, unlocking new classes, and improving the skill tree, giving subsequent heirs a better chance at success.

Is Rogue Legacy difficult?

The game is known for its challenging nature, but the rogue-lite mechanics are designed to make each playthrough a step forward. The iOS version features rebalanced difficulty to account for playing on mobile devices.

What makes each playthrough unique?

Each playthrough is unique due to a procedurally generated castle layout and the vast number of distinct traits your heirs can possess. These traits can range from physical characteristics like vertigo or dwarfism to conditions like dyslexia, impacting gameplay in various ways.
