Rogue Legacy is a platforming roguelike game for PlayStation 3 where players control a lineage of heroes. Upon the death of a character, a successor is chosen, each with unique traits that affect gameplay. The game features diverse classes and randomized character traits, leading to varied playthroughs. Players explore procedurally generated castles while battling enemies and collecting treasures in this challenging adventure.
You control a family of characters one at a time, and when your character dies, you choose who his or her successor is, whether it is a barbarian son of yours who has OCD, your daughter who became a ninja even though she can't see well, an assassin who is fighting for the gays, or a miner who wants to collect gold! Traits are randomized each time upon death, leading to multiple playthroughs with 35 traits, each character will be unique.
