A great followup to Rogue Legacy, despite still being in early access.

Although a bit light on the "metroidvania" genre, Rogue Legacy 2 is a metroidvania roguelite. The goal is simple, defeat all the bosses and then fight the final boss (many bosses and areas are not in the game yet).
Many roguelikes/lites save your progress after death, Rogue Legacy 2 does this, but also makes you choose a child from your lineage, which each have unique traits.

Fans of the original will likely be happy at how the class system is changed. Classes are now much more than just knight with slightly different stats, they now all play completely differently!

Content-wise, this game is still missing quite a bit, but as of right now (content update 1) the amount of content i'd say is about on par with the original game.

Update (7/2/2021): As of the 4th content update, this game now has way more content than the first! Its to the point where i've put another 15 hours into the game, and haven't gotten through area 2.
There's a lot. Like, seriously.
And yet, they still have more planned!
