Hi everyone! This is just a minor housekeeping update for the Linux and macOS versions - all it does is update FNA, the game's underlying framework, which can improve performance and stability without actually changing anything in the game. This is also provided for Windows in the 'fna-win32' beta branch, but as always this is experimental-only and is not supported by default. One small in-game change was to default to the native resolution when in Big Picture and Deck mode, so that the viewport fits the screen you're using. This allowed us to get a Verified rating, so if you still like playing the original Rogue Legacy and want to play it on a handheld, the latest native Linux release should provide the best experience! Enjoy!

[previewyoutube=4VFRTUxPIwA;full][/previewyoutube] Woooo hooooo! It is with great privilege that we are announcing the complete version of Rogue Legacy 2 is now available for download!!! If that's all you need to know, get out there and starting playing! But for those who want to bask in the moment with us, please read on. It's incredible to think back to when this all started nearly four years ago. To say we were apprehensive going into Early Access would be an enormous understatement. We didn't know what to expect, and to completely expose the game's workings to basically everybody was a very scary idea. Rogue Legacy is more than a game to us. It started as a small idea between two brothers, and grew to something that ultimately changed our lives. What we didn't know was how important Rogue Legacy was to some of you as well. Throughout our entire time in EA, the community has given us far more than just ideas. You discovered critical bugs, balance exploits, and even story plot-holes. You gave us constant encouragement, provided valuable feedback, and kept us on-track if we started to slow down. It's not easy to work on a game for this long, yet you remained alongside us for the entire journey. Now, with Rogue Legacy 2's development finally reaching its end, we genuinely could not be happier with how it turned out. The support we received and the love that's been shown is truly beyond words. All we can say is thank you. - Kenny Lee, Cellar Door Games https://store.steampowered.com/app/1253920/Rogue_Legacy_2/

[previewyoutube=uiV0oo7ZlH8;full][/previewyoutube] What an adventure! We are SUPER excited to announce that Rogue Legacy 2 is finally breaking out of Early Access, and the full version will be available to enjoy on April 28, 2022. That's less than a month away! We can't put into words all the emotions we're feeling now that we've gotten this far, and we know it's just the beginning. We want to thank every fan, both old and new, that gave the game a chance in Early Access. Thank you for sticking with us throughout this long journey. It's been an incredible experience, and one that we will truly cherish. But best of all, we now have a game that would not be where it is today without your support. Thank you for keeping the Legacy alive! Be sure to check out our new fully-animated trailer celebrating this momentous occasion!

We are super stoked to announce that Rogue Legacy 2 is now available on Steam Early Access! To celebrate we're launching with a 10% discount, PLUS an additional 10% discount for any Steam owners that have the original Rogue Legacy! Despite only announcing the game's existence a short four months ago, it's hard to believe that we're actually at this point. It's not the finish line (more like the half-way mark), but even getting this far is a momentous occasion for us. We can't wait to show you what we've done to bring Rogue Legacy 2 to the latest era, and we're even more excited to see what ideas fans come up with along the way.

[ 2020-08-18 17:32:32 CET ] [ Original post ]

It has been a tough decision, but we've decided to delay the launch of Rogue Legacy 2 by three and a half weeks to August 18, 2020. We've run into a few setbacks and we aren't quite ready to show it yet. We're close though (which is why the delay is so short), we just need a bit more time to get it in a state that we're truly proud to display. We know a lot of fans will be disappointed by the delay, and for that we apologize. Even in Early Access we don't want to compromise the quality of the game, and we hope it shows when we finally make it to launch.

Well that was quick! Another update to the Lament of Zors mod has been provided by modder, default0, aimed at addressing some stability and in-game QoL issues that were raised with v1.5. Check out the changes below:

• Fix Projectiles in the Graveyard Ghost fight sometimes changing direction
• Fix several minor graphical issues
• Fix some bad pixels in the player animations (courtesy of Vorgozz)
• Fix some configuration settings causing unintended side effects or not working properly
• Fix setting a gameseed sometimes causing the game to freeze

As a reminder, in order to play the mod all you need to do is run the game. Before it starts, you will be given the option to run the original version of Rogue Legacy, or launch the Lament of Zors mod. Please note that this is an unofficial mod, so all content and support is provided by the tireless efforts of the modder, default0. If you have a chance, be sure to thank him in our Discord channel.

Hey all, The quintessential Rogue Legacy modder, default0, has dropped a nice surprise for everyone stuck at home. The Lament of Zors, the unofficial Rogue Legacy mod that is officially playable, has updated to v1.5. Check out the changes below:

• New areas are easier to access and more streamlined.
• Minor fixes and adjustments to room layouts.
• A number of fixes to improve stability.
• Adjustments to several room layouts.

• Added a configuration file for game customization

If you haven't had a chance to try out the mod, there's no time better than now! It's as simple as choosing to launch the mod when running the game. Please note, because the mod is unofficial, we are unfortunately unable to provide support for issues encountered with the game. However, feel free to check out our discord channel and chat with the creator himself.

Hey all! When we released the Rogue Legacy 5-year anniversary patch many moons ago, we inadvertently HAMSHANKED peoples' ability to play Cedric "default0" Schneider's super awesome mod for the game, Lament of Zors. To fix that, you had to download the v1.2.0b branch and install the mod, and afterward you couldn't play the latest version of the original game. We've made things easier, and added a selector so that you can switch between the original and the mod at any time! And don't worry, you won't lose your save files. So if you've been hankering more Rogue Legacy, this mod is gonna give you hundreds of extra hours! Without further ado,

Save 66% on Rogue Legacy during this week's Midweek Madness*!

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 vertigo-- 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.

"...a hugely compelling mix of 2D action-platforming and Roguelike game design." 9/10
