Rouge Legacy was a very polished and charming game that was released early on in the trend of "rouge lite" games.

I had endless fun playing it back when it was released in 2013.

Here's 5 hours of gameplay to give you a flavor of the game.

It started the trend of adding tons of incremental permanent power increasing microunlocks to games with roguelike elements that I don't like because it encourages farming instead of learning the game. Specially at the beginning where you know you are not gonna win, not because you don't know the game, but because there is an artificial wall blocking the way until you spend x hours grinding the metacurrency.
