Steamships Ahoy - Rogue Legacy

GOG.com and Steam now offer Rogue Legacy, a procedurally generated roguelike they cal a "rogue-LITE," perhaps because unlike a Roguelike with permadeath, this game features the chance for future generations to carry on with the fight:
Rogue Legacy is a genealogical rogue-"LITE" where anyone can be a hero.

Each time you die, your child will succeed you. Every child is unique. One child might be colorblind, another might have tourettes-- they could even be a dwarf.

That's OK, because no one is perfect, and you don't have to be perfect to win this game. But you do have to be pretty darn good because this game is HARD. Fortunately, every time you die all the gold you've collected can be used to upgrade you manor, giving your next child a step up in life and another chance at vanquishing evil.

It's a side scroller. How is that at all like Rogue?
In the same ways Spelunky is. Single character, one life per run, procedurally generated maps. Rogue-like != Rogue. It's like calling a tofu-based frozen dessert "ice cream-like".

"There is no dairy. How is that at all like ice cream?"
