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.
