I was looking at Rogue Legacy today, as it's part of the current Weekend Deal on Steam.
Each time you die, your are succeeded by your child (that's the genealogical RPG mechanic). What makes this really interesting is that every child is unique. One child might be colorblind, or another might have tourettes; even hypergonadism gets a mention. It was tourettes that got my attention.
Like Ghosts and Goblins, 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 an inheritance and thus another (better) chance at defeating evil.
Take a look at the official trailer here. I'd really love to hear from others whom are actually playing. Think I'll have to grab it while it's 40% off.
