Rogue Legacy Nintendo Switch Review - ANOTHER GREAT ROGUELITE?

Another day, another roguelite on the Switch. The latest is Rogue Legacy - a game that has been on PC and Playstation/Xbox for a while now. How does it hold up on the Switch? Is it another gem for the eshop or has its legacy faded over time? Find out in our Rogue Legacy Nintendo Switch review...

Official Synopsis: -

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 colourblind, 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 succeed. 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 your manor, giving your next child a step up in life and another chance at vanquishing evil.

Six years later this video, I started to play Rogue Legacy for the first time and I can't stop playing it!

This is my favorite roguelike game - I’ve been hoping it would come to switch and grabbed it immediately. So much fun!

[jglover]

Great review! This looks like a grand addition to the rogue-lites! I love the different genetic traits hook, makes for some humorous characters.

Mark and Glen, you should be sales reps for Nintendo. You know how to sell games to the public

[Simoss]

I just found out about a game named Elli. Looks like a Zelda and A Hat in Time hybrid. Comes out soon and will want to see a review from you guys before considering to pick it up.


In Switch Up I trust

Looking back, you've upped your energy in delivery nowadays which is a good thing (sorry for the backhandedness of this compliment).

Can we take a moment to appreciate the way the main character holds the sword? 😂

I don't own a switch but i assure you this, Rogue Legacy is a near perfect game from tight controls, great music, and that warm retro feel.
If this is the same port as PS4, Vita & PC you need to do yourself a favor and add this gem to your collection!

While I don't like rogue-lite and rouge-like games, I actually like how the character returns after each death and the permanent upgrades. Will definitely pick it up first time it's on sale. Oh, and my best Switch game this year us Yoku's Island Express

I have this game on Steam and I really enjoyed it! One of these days I need to just sit down and beat it. Seems like a great game for the Switch! Awesome review Glen!!

[cptkenpachiz]

I just got this game yesterday on the Xbox for $1.69 after taxes. Never even heard of it before and now I’m really excited to get into it after watching this, plus I’ll get to two eventually

[xBaofu]

The best reviews for Switch games by far! Keep up the great work.

[SkyFellowship]

Another game I always wanted to play but never did, I love the sense of humour with it too how the best affliction you can get is gay, because gay gives you no negatives because there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being gay.

For a game to do that, was just fucking awesome 😺

Hi Glen, great review & video, I haven't played this game in an age booting it up later today. Think will get on switch as Switch is now my main console of choice 😆😆

[LordTimelord]

As of today's date 04/12/2022, this game is free on the USA Epic Game's Store. Installing it on my AYA Neo 2021 Pro right now! 😁👍

A Switch Up review I haven't seen. Let's go!

[mrmagickkarp]

Rogue legacy was my favorite game on the Vita! I have 3 different copy's of it looks like I might go for 4

[reloadedgrem]

This reminds me of devious dungeon for some reason. Although this seems like it’s actually interesting lol. Great review as always

[cappy]

Does look pretty tough but the knight dude seems pretty beasty...so it *can* be done lol! I still got my heart set on moonlighter (came out in U.S today) but this game fits perfectly into switch library 👍
