What’s up guys! We’re crazy proud to announce that the official release date for Rogue Legacy on ALL Playstation platforms will be July 29th, 2014! That’s only 3 weeks away! That’s complete insanity, and we’re totes mcgoats excited to finally bring it to consoles and handhelds.
Now, before I go into a list of the awesomeness that is the Playstation versions of Rogue Legacy, I just want to give a shout out to the guys at Abstraction Games. They did almost all of the work on bringing the game to PlayStation, and this would never have happened without them. So big ups to them for all their help!
For those that don’t know, I should probably explain to you guys what Rogue Legacy is. It’s a rogue-lite game where you must conquer a magical castle which is constantly changing. Every time you die, your children succeed you. Each child has his or her own unique genetic traits, so one child might be a near sighted wizard, and another could be a flatulent ninja. So every play through is unique, right from the get-go.
As an added bonus, all the money you earn is passed down to your children, giving each generation a leg up on the last. And you’ll need every edge you can get, because this game is hard!
Anyways, before this gets too long, let me list out why the Playstation versions are awesome.
- Cross Buy! — Do you want the awesome portable-ness of Vita? Or do you want the epic big screen experience of PS4/PS3? Don’t worry, you won’t have to make that choice because we’ll just give it all to you!
- Cross Save! — Going out? Play on the Vita, and when you get home, your save will be brought over to your PS4/PS3 via cloud magic!
- 101% Content! — Every single feature in the PC version, including all of the content patches, has been faithfully brought over to the Playstation versions. So you get all the extra Bonus zones, traits, and boss remixes jam packed into those sweet little bytes, along with just a little bit more. But only just a little.
- Multi-lingual! — Rogue Legacy’s been translated into a whole BUNCH of languages for you guys. We’ve got English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. :D
- PS Vita Control Scheme Bliss! — When we originally made Rogue Legacy, we made it with the PS Vita buttons in mind. No joke. We gambled that if it did well, we wouldn’t want the Vita version being nerfed in the control department, so we made sure to not use too many buttons. That crazy gamble we made over a year ago paid off, and that means the Vita version plays perfectly! Happiness!
- Platinum Trophy! — Aw yiss! Platinum awesome-ness! Thanks, PlayStation!
Anyhoo, enough talk. We’re crazy excited to be bringing Rogue Legacy to all of the Playstation platforms, and we hope you guys enjoy it, too!
It comes out on my birthday and it’s a day 1 purchase for me.
Been holding out for this on Vita. Totally pleased to see it coming to PS4 as well and cross-buy! You guys are great!
I have 19$ in my PSN wallet waiting for you to claim it, Cellar Door. Great job on porting it and putting the Vita in the forefront of your plans for the game. That makes me super excited to play it on the system. :) I’ll be getting that platinum.. no matter how long it takes.. I’ve actually never even played the game. Would be stoked if the game was around 12-17$ on launch.
Been waiting for this! So excited, definitely a day 1 purchase – Can’t wait to load this up on my Vita
I’ll pass. Rogue Legacy’s charm wears off faster than cheap body spray.
It would be nice if the game had more positive traits and power-ups, but the overwhelming amount of negative character traits and negative power-ups just made the game pointlessly tedious. Even the updated content wasn’t worth re-installing the game. 7 positive traits , 20 negative traits, 3 extremely negative traits that you WILL suicide rather than play the game with and 1 utterly, utterly useless trait.
If you still want to go for it, just get the Steam Version for 2~5 dollars whenever it goes on sale. At 15 bucks, this game is buyers remorse.
@ 50.
Rogue Galaxy is.. WAS a Level 5/ SCEJ production. So far, both of those companies have been sitting on their hands for a while.
Pardon me if I sound like a grumpy old man, but I’m still insulted that no Level 5 characters like Max, Deego or Jaster were in Third Party All-Stars..err. Playstation All Stars.
This game looks like a lot of fun,cool concept….and ha cross-buy,thats the real deal….thanks for the support with PS3 and Vita.
A question though:Are the trophies list all the same?…….please tell me there ain’t no separated trophy list.
Is this the game I never knew I always wanted?
Yes.
