Rogue Legacy

So I got bored of that.

I have, let's see if I had to name a couple months ago, I played through all of rogue legacy too.

That was, that was pretty fun.

I did it all the way through to the true ending.

I should say the rogue-like...

Rogue-like, excuse me, from Rogue Legacy, where in Rogue Legacy, you died.

And when you died, you're... your kin, your son or daughter would get a new buff and would come back stronger.

And that would just build as you died and died and died.

That's where Hades came from.

That's where, you know, games like Sorrows came from.

all these different rogues, that idea was implemented first in Rogue Legacy.

And you see that in Sifu, but at the same time, they're taking the permadeath that Trevor mentioned earlier and the tension that builds up.

That was originally his band name.

And he actually went to the same school and ended up working on Rogue Legacy.

Cool.

And he did the music and sound for that and then just started getting busy because of the popularity of that game.

And then you get enough variety out of them.

I would go back and play Rogue Legacy now and again.

Oh,

man, what a fun little game.

I

love that game.

Rogue Legacy 2 is really good, too.

Dead Cells is really good, too.

There's Hotline Miami.

There's Rogue Legacy.

There's Mortal Kombat 2011.

There's Terraria.

No, I have definitely don't shoot your pants.

It's by the team that went on to make Rogue Legacy.

And in fact, there's like a little, there's a little reference to it in Rogue Legacy

and one of those like little rooms,

but it's basically just a text adventure where you see a person standing in front of a bathroom and you have to, help them not shit their pants and that's the whole game and it's like it's about successfully not shitting your pants but also finding all the ways you can shit your pants as a goof and it's great but it's maybe that's probably the shortest Texas Adventure I've ever played in that like this is so simple this is just a joke The one in Frog Fractions took about 10 minutes.

I think that's who it is.

I actually really, really like several of their games.

Like the Rogue Legacy, both one and two, like excellent games.

Yeah.

But it's more depth than just like Rogue Legacy style jump up slash slash slash.

absolutely.

It's kind of thing where like the bar is like not very high.

of what we've learned with the novelty yeah

yeah and I think I put some respect on Dead Cells just for it I think this maybe was the game that an early game that leaned a ton into horizontal metaprogression like Isaac did kind of but it Isaac's not like unlocks it's just like a shitload of items that you're finding so maybe this is like the grandfather of horizontal metaprogression is that crazy

to say wow that's interesting it might be actually yeah huh that's something I hadn't really thought about before but yeah cool wow good job dead cells um yeah i i think like it's a lot of like pre-existing concepts but executed really well like you know like rogue legacy did metroidvania style roguelite first obviously right but platformer yeah but this is not an f tier game right so it's like almost gets novelty just for doing such a better

legacy is the grandfather of vertical metaprogression yes yes exactly we're showing our biases um yeah
