9.5/10

A hugely triumphant take on the Metroidvania formula that delights with its fresh take on roguelike gameplay elements, Rogue Legacy empowers the player, rather than punishes them and is simply one of the finest games you can play on a PlayStation platform.

9/10

Rogue Legacy is one of my favourite games of 2013 so far.

Rogue Legacy is a devilishly clever mix of Castlevania and Spelunky.

While great on all systems, it really shines as a portable action game. This is one roguelike that is hard to put down.

8/10

There are plenty of brutal indies that'll put your dexterity to the test on Sony platforms. The likes of Spelunky and Cloudberry Kingdom represent a somewhat niche, but addictive genre. However, Rogue Legacy, a title that blends platforming and simple combat with role-playing mechanics, is perhaps one of the most inspired that we've come across. It may not change many people's minds about the nume...
