ROGUE LEGACY MIST FORM SERIES

I won't be chronicling the results of every individual character as I did with my various class legacy series, both because I knew there would be a ton of poor unfortunate heirs and also because it wouldn't make for the most interesting reading material. Did the developers anticipate someone trying this and allow for the possibility of a purely pacifist run? Let's find out. This is definitely variant material stuff that doesn't hold much use in a normal game and I was eager to see if it was possible to defeat all of the bosses with nothing but reflected damage. The other thing that makes this variant possible is the existence of reflected damage, runes and equipment that cause monsters to take damage when hitting your character. With enough hard work and some unusual gear it can be possible to bring back major hauls without slaying anything. You can obtain gold from killing monsters but you can also obtain gold by finding and opening those chests. The first is the presence of the various treasure chests strewn throughout the dungeon. That probably sounds impossible at face value - how could you finish the game without ever attacking anything? But there are two major aspects to the Rogue Legacy gameplay that allow a crafty and determined individual to work around this restriction.

This would entail playing a series of characters that never attacked monsters via physical attack or spells, with the goal of completing the entire game without ever engaging in direct combat. There was one variant that I'd always thought about trying and never found the time to test: the Pacifist variant.

Nonetheless, I was left with a desire to play more Rogue Legacy and that meant going back to the original game to be able to experience something more than the earliest parts of the gameplay. The developers were very upfront about the fact that the game wasn't anywhere close to being finished yet and it was still entertaining to get a chance to try out this shareware version of the product. RL2 was little more than a demo when it first dropped, containing only the first 'castle' section of the game along with a single boss.

While it was lots of fun having a chance to play the game at an earlier date, and the gameplay itself looks fantastic thus far, I was slightly disappointed to find how little content was available for the initial release period. Rogue Legacy 2 went into Early Access in August of 2020.
