Teddy compares the design to games like Spelunky and The Binding of Isaac, noting that their goal was to make the game relatively forgiving and accessible, while also allowing permanent progression. The game was inspired by such titles as Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. This was the brothers' biggest project to date and took 18 months to develop. The game was developed by Cellar Door Games, a Toronto-based developer consisting of brothers Kenny and Teddy Lee. Upon defeating all of the secret ordinary bosses, one may challenge the secret version of the final boss in order to unlock the secret 'Traitor' class, based on the first form of the final boss. Furthermore, the player cannot normally increase in power beyond a certain point, though small increases to various stats beyond this soft-cap are possible through the 'Fairy Chests' system.Ī number of secret bosses exist, all of which are remixed versions of each of the ordinary bosses. Notably, while enemies increase in difficulty theoretically forever, bosses do not get any harder across playthroughs. After the second completion, the format for the name is 'New Game +n' where n is the number of playthroughs since the first (Begins at +2, then +3, etc.). The game features a progressing 'New Game +' feature, in which every completion of the game along a specific line of descendants increases the difficulty while also increasing the rewards offered by enemies and chests. Finally, the architect can lock down the design of a previously encountered castle (so that a new one isn't randomly generated) in exchange for a percentage of any gold found.Īny unspent gold must be paid to Charon in order to enter the castle, though upgrades can reduce the amount required to pay. Similarly, the enchantress can use runes found in fairy chests to give the player enhancements, unlocking additional abilities such as double jumping and dashing. The blacksmith can use blueprints found in the castle to create new armor and equipment for the player, improving their stats.

Gold can unlock the blacksmith, the enchantress and the architect, who each provide their own services. These include mages, which can use more advanced spells, warriors, who have higher strength, and assassins, who can use various stealth techniques and have an increased likelihood of having a critical hit.

Spending gold on the manor, which appears after a new heir is chosen, can increase stats, such as health and mana, and unlock and upgrade new classes that may be carried by one of the heirs. There are also various fairy chests hidden in special rooms throughout the castle, most of which require the player to complete an objective, such as taking no damage in the room, in order to be opened. Gold can be found by smashing pieces of furniture, opening chests, or defeating enemies. Gold found while exploring the castle can be used to improve the character's equipment and abilities, which are passed on to that character's heirs. Each descendant carries their unique characteristics and abilities, including such genetic peculiarities as color-blindness (in which the game is presented in black and white), ADHD (in which the player moves faster) and dwarfism (in which the character is short and can fit into small gaps). Whenever a character dies as a result of losing all of their Hit Points (HP), control will transfer over to one of three randomly generated heirs which the player may choose between, though this number may be increased to six with a later upgrade. Players can also use their sword to slash platforms to make them extend.

Characters have the default ability to jump and slash with their sword, along with secondary abilities, such as magic attacks, which use mana. The goal of Rogue Legacy is to explore a randomly generated dungeon, defeat four bosses in each of the four unique environments of the dungeon, and then defeat the final boss.
