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 — When we originally made Rogue Legacy, we made it with the PS Vita buttons in mind.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!
Yesssssss, I have been waiting for this since its announcement! (And hoping for it to come to PS Vita before that)
Thank you~~
This game is so good.
I got it on a Steam sale a while back.
Been looking forward to this on PS4 for the trophies.
So happy to hear that is has a platinum! Day 1 for me! Thanks guys!
Whoa! More 2-D lameness. This makes me so I happy I paid $400 for a 2-D gaming machine. The tears are real.
1) Great Game!
2) Cross Buy!
3) 101% Content!
4) Multi-lingual!
5) PS Vita Control Scheme Bliss!
6) Platinum Trophy!
7) No DLC In Mind
8) Listens To Their Fans!
9) Great Sense Of Humor!
= Cellar Door Games ROCK! :D
Is this game co-op? (local or online)
I wish heirs would share some sort of a trait with their lineage for continuity sakes. Other than that, looks like a great buy
I could see how it might not be considered a game feature since it isn’t done directly in game but by editing a text file in the game’s directory, but I was wondering if editing the list of names the game pulls is going to be included in these versions.
Och! Sank on this on Steam, and the same humor I appreciated in Don’t **** Your Pants shines through here.
PROTIP: Don’t choose someone with vertigo. Good heavens…
Guys, please, buy this game. I’ve bought RL for PC and now i re-buy it for PS-Vita. It’s the classic game that can be AWESOME on a portable!
Oh man I have no money to buy this :( I need a job lol
Awesome. I played Rogue Legacy quite a bit on PC. Definitely going grab this for Vita
Sorry for the noob question but why does the trophies matter ? You can get more game content or something cool ?
Hi Teddy. Stoked for this game on my Vita. Quick question: Right now Sony is doing a pre-order sale for the game (congrats), but only lists the PS3 and PS4 versions. You say this is cross-buy, so if I pre-order the PS3 version now, can I download the Vita version for free after release? The Vita version is the one I really want. Thanks!
PS+ Discount upon release?
Gonna play this on my vita a LOT.
As a huge fan of the PC version (bought it day one and have 28 hours played, I’m super stoked to see this release on all three PlayStation systems. This game is definitely worth the price and provides a challenging experience! Also, it has a platinum! Amazing.
Game is out and the safe zone has a black boarder all the way and it and no way I can see to adjust it
Im so pleased this got a platinum , its makes my experience so much better by far , if you dont like trophies that fair enough , but in my experience a platinum can only contribute goodness to a game , buying day 1 for me !!!!!
