  • Roguelite
  • Platformer
  • Metroidvania

The sequel to the heir-based roguelite: on each attempt you pick one of three children with their own class and traits and, when they die, their gold upgrades the manor. There are 15 classes, six biomes each with a boss, and heirlooms that grant a double jump or an air dash.

Why play it now

When you want short runs that count: many attempts last under ten minutes and the gold goes towards upgrades.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants a tough roguelite on their own terms: House Rules lower the damage or let you fly.

When not to pick it

If mistakes frustrate you: spending gold on the wrong upgrades can force you to replay runs.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 85 out of 100
  • Exploring: 55 out of 100
  • Thinking: 30 out of 100
