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
A 2D roguelite platformer set in a castle that changes on every attempt. When you die you pick an heir from several with odd traits, such as dwarfism or short-sightedness, and gold upgrades the family manor; whatever you don't spend, Charon takes at the gate.
