Cellar Door Games has announced Rogue Legacy, its superb genealogical rogue-lite platformer, launches on Switch on 6th November.
Rogue Legacy originally released back in 2013, meaning this is another case of an oldie-but-goodie coming to Nintendo’s console. And Rogue Legacy really is a good ‘un, offering a rogue-inspired jaunt through a deadly, ever-changing castle.
On a fundamental level, Rogue Legacy is a pretty traditional (and wonderfully chunky) exploration-based 2D platformer – albeit one draped around a rogue-lite framework. As such, you’ve a single life in which to investigate the castle – whose layout changes with every new run-through – and stave off its inhabitants long enough to defeat each boss and win the game.
