Rogue Legacy 2 could be described as a genealogical Rogue -LITE. It has the typical trappings of a rogue-like, such as randomized runs and changing characters. But it also comes with persistent upgrades and persistent dead heirs. The grind in this game is not required. You can explore the endlessly changing world if you play well. Or don't! It doesn't matter! Everyone can win with hardcore platforming and a robust RPG system.
And isn't that the best kind of option?
