MONSTER
You control a family of characters one at a time, and when your character dies, you choose who his or her successor is, whether it is a barbarian son of yours who has OCD, your daughter who became a ninja even though she can't see well, an assassin who is fighting for the gays, or a miner who wants to collect gold! Traits are randomized each time upon death, leading to multiple playthroughs with 35 traits, each character will be unique.

Rogue Legacy on Xbox One is quite amazing and addicting. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind Roguelike game for Xbox One this is the game to buy.

If the idea of some old school 2D action with a new school twist arouses your curiosity then you will probably fall in love with Rogue Legacy.

It’s not for everyone, and I’d hesitate to recommend Rogue Legacy to those who get discouraged and frustrated easily. But for those who are looking for a challenge, Rogue Legacy is a must-play and a steal at its $15 price tag. Pros: - Challenging old school sidescrolling gameplay that mixes the exploration and combat of Castlevania with the randomness and charm of Spelunky - Tons of upgrades, equipment, enhancements, and character classes to purchase, making each failed run of the castle still feel like a little victory - Large variety of enemies keeps combat fresh and exciting whenever venturing into a new area - Great soundtrack - New game+ for the hardcore adds even more value to an already value stuffed package Cons: - The randomness sometimes creates frustration when trying to beat a boss and all of your character choices are poor - Some classes are less useful than others - Only one save slot - Brutal difficulty may be a turnoff to those who get frustrated easily Final Score: 90/100 Game Front employs a 100-point scale when reviewing games to be as accurate about the experience as possible.
