A Triumphant Return? - Rogue Legacy 2 1.0 Release Impressions
The last time I launched Rogue Legacy 1 was back in 2015, per Steam: it's been the better part of a decade since I've picked up a Rogue Legacy game, so I wasn't sure how I'd react, particularly given that RL2 launched with a fairly lengthy Early Access. Turns out, there was nothing to fear - RL2 is, at least in its opening minutes, a delightful experience that matches and exceeds its predecessor in just about every way. Every element I loved from the first time, polished to modern standards - in a lot of cases taking cues from games that were themselves inspired by RL1 - alongside the promise of a WIDE pool of new ideas and systems to dig into. We've barely even gotten out of the tutorial, so no official takes yet, but suffice to say I am extremely excited to see where this rabbit hole goes.
