The platform game Rogue Legacy 2 is the successor to Rogue Legacy, which was released in 2013. Since the levels are newly generated for each run, no two games feel the same and the focus of the game is on its roguelike mechanics. The developers have changed the graphics for this part compared to its predecessor.
Where the first part wanted to convince with a pixel look, Rogue Legacy 2 relied on a 2.5D style with hand-drawn backgrounds and 3D character models.

+you are looking for variety in each playthrough
+you are fans of roguelike mechanics
