## About Rogue Legacy 2

Rogue Legacy 2 is an action-adventure roguelite developed by Cellar Door Games that released in 2022 at $24.99 USD.

Permanent upgrades persist between deaths alongside a relic system that adds strategic layering. The game spans a massive length designed for short bursts of play, and runs verified on Steam Deck. It holds an 88 Metacritic score and maintains 91% positive from over 7600 Steam reviews.
