Rogue Legacy

If you're not having fun now, it never gets better.

No, it doesn't.
I have beaten this game several times and I've probably put 30+ hours into it. To prove it, here are my current stats.
Just stop playing it now.

First of all CANCER and second the moment that one of your offsprings gets 'gay" as a trait , that should be an immediate 'game over' unless you manage to make it to the end and kill the last boss

No it really doesn't.

But what are some good rogue-lite games? I've enjoyed Risk of Rain, Dungeon of the Endless, and A Wizard's Lizard Mostly for the soundtrack. I'd like to try to get into this genre or at least understand why so many people like it.

This.
I even got all the achievements for it, including the Thanatophobia one. It wasn't worth it and I sincerely regret having this much autism.

I will never think this is a good mechanic for rogueshits. It should be about skill and luck, not grinding.

Fucking no. It's meta progression is shit and boring and becomes a bigger grind than fucking Warframe near the end. It's core gameplay is not suited to a roguelite at all and is mediocre. Level and enemy design is beyond fucking annoying.

Not like there's all that many good roguelites out there compared to how saturated the genre is.

This. Progression is supposed to give you more options in subsequent runs, not direct power.

FTL, Spelunky and Binding of Isaac(get Afterbirth) while not the first games in the (sub?)genre, are the one that popularized it and are all pretty good.

Other big ones that worth taking a look at off the top of my tongue are Enter the Gungeon, Don't Starve and 20XX. There's plenty of other good ones, but the genre is so over-saturated with total shit it's almost not worth looking.

thanks friends, now I know it's not just me. gonna stop wasting my time hoping for it to get good and move on to something I might actually enjoy.

the vast majority of the descendant traits are just gimmicky bullshit that's not humorous, cute, or endearing in the slightest, contrary to what most of the reviews fawning over it would claim.

also fuck the fedora fags who give glowing reviews to this shit and ruse me into wasting my time on garbage games. fucking 94% positive reviews on steam jesus christ, some faggots just need to have their reviewing privilege revoked, bunch of mini Ben Cuckeras.

I thought it was too short myself.
Its a different game that took chances I thought turned out kind of fun.
We should encourage developers to take more chances.

Yeah, once you get gud.
