Rogue Legacy 2 is what you'd get if you mashed Rogue Legacy and a sequel together. Every time you die, your children will succeed you, and each child is unique. Your daughter might be a Colourblind Archer, and your son could be a Pacifistic Chef. Either way, one of them is getting conscripted.
What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $9.99. That was December 2025. 41 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 13 percent on value. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 83 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Rogue Legacy ($14.99, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats Vagante ($14.99, scores 73).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2022 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 355 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 261 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 958 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
What a fantastic game. Blending metroidvania with a roguelike in a briliant execution. The first one was really good, but this one is pushed to perfection. Huge variety and every bit of it is fun.
very fun, over 50 hours and i still havent beaten the game (might be skill issue but every hour was extremely fun anyway)
Wanted to wrire a review full of glazing and explaining why i like it, but then realised that nobody really cares. If you need it, know that it's a great game you'll probably enjoy playing, no matter who you are and what games you like.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Rogue Legacy 2 scores 78/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1253920/rogue-legacy-2The BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 15, price as of Sep 24.
