Many generations, one destiny.

Rogue Legacy, a procedurally generated RPG/platformer where the fallen heroes pass their quest and their skills onto their children, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.49 for the next 24 hours!

When you are old enough to read this words, their meaning will unfold. These words are all that's left and though we've never met, my dear child, I hope you know that I would have been there to watch you grow. But my call was heard and I did go. Now your mission lies ahead of you, as it did mine so long ago. The castle towers reach for the sky, overshadowing your home. There lies your destiny, my child, and your doom, but you shall overcome more dangers than did I. Bless you, now go. Ride like the wind, ride proud my child, and do reflect upon me when you die.

Rogue Legacy takes the classic 2D "metroidvania" gameplay and cranks up the difficulty level so much, that it's impossible to keep your character alive. Don't worry, though--once the brave knight dies while exploring the ominous haunted castle, its only a matter of few clicks to resume the adventure as their knightly offspring. You will get to choose among the children to pick the character whose traits and flaws suit you the most, and continue their parent's quest retaining the stat bonuses and equipment they managed to secure. The game sports sleek 2D graphics, perfect intuitive controls, tons of great humor, giant boss monsters, and virtually infinite replayability provided by the castle's ever-changing layout. Most importantly, though--it's simply enthralling. Each time your hero will fall, you'll experience a sudden rush of desire to have another go. Again, and again, and again.

Brave the many dangers of the mysterious castle while you learn the true meaning of inheritance in Rogue Legacy, for only $7.49 on GOG.com. The offer lasts until Thursday, September 26, at 9:59AM GMT. Don't miss out on this wonderfully addictive game!
If only Charon didn't steal the money..
thanks~
nice deal =D
The idea is interesting, but very hard games aren't my cup of tea...
This game should be marked with some serious warning like BEWARE - HIGHLY ADDICTIVE AND FRUSTRATING!!! on the gamepage!
So I've played for what was it? One hour? Don't get me wrong, I knew that I would suck at this game but I didn't know I would suck so hard! Man, I love this game! :D Fortunately after each death I can upgrade my heroes so that the next one can loot more money. Ok, not all of them - some of them died before looting almost anything ;)
Picked it up. Agreeing with most comments, fun and addictive but can be very challenging, especially with the randomization of the castle.

There's a feature where you can lock down the castle for a cut on your money run, very useful when you're trying to defeat a boss.

The problem is that upgrades become more expensive as you upgrade and Charon's taxes (100% cut at first, you can upgrade to 70%), significantly increases the time to play the game albeit in a rather artificial way in my opinion.
Hmmm... much as I'd love to wait for an occasion where I would spend less (a lower dollar exchange rate) I'm not sure I can resist this offer. I may even have to put my BG run on hold now.
Ah, I still have 20 hours to decide.
Hmmm, the graphics and music remind of Wizards & Warriors and Ghouls n Ghost. Nearly ripped a hole in my trousers going for my wallet. Then I realized that I really want to give Unepic a try. Also, Dark Souls is on promo for around the same price. May wait. Nice promo GOG. -__-
Oh, I was keeping an eye on this one since its initial release. The time is now. -Buying-
Bought :)
Think I'm going to have to wait until later to get this, but it looks amazing.
The cynic in me says this will turn up in an indie bundle eventually so why bother with a lone purchase?

Forget about Steam sales devaluing games in the eyes of consumers, game bundles have basically killed my desire to buy new games at all.
Brutal but interesting.

Guess I'll have to take advantage.
Looks great, but I'll have to wait until another time.
