How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Rogue Legacy 2
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.
