15. Rogue Legacy 2
The jump’n’run Rogue Legacy 2 is the successor to the 2013 released Rogue Legacy. Since the levels are randomly generated for each run, no run feels like the previous one, and the focus of the game is on its roguelike mechanics. The developers have changed the graphics from the predecessor for this installment.
Where the first part aimed for a pixel look, Rogue Legacy 2 opted for a 2.5D style with hand-drawn backgrounds and 3D character models.
