Well OP, you obviously could stop it long enough to create a well fleshed out thread to promote this game. Can't be that addictive if you ask me.

You can try lowering the difficulty through the rune system to get over the hump.
OP once you beat it (And try to beat the Neo bosses, they're a lot of fun but so frustrating) and you feel like you want more games like that, I recommend you play A Wizard's Lizard.
It's basically the same premise (procedurally-generated dungeons, rewards to be used after dying, etc.) but it plays top down like Binding of Isaac.

I stopped playing it in anticipation of the Vita version and there has been no info on it in a very long time.

This, pretty much. It can be a fun mindless metroidvania, but it has zero depth to it since there's practically no penalty for dying whatsoever. Just shrug it off, pick a new character, and get more gold, repeat. There's no strategy to it at all, so it doesn't even qualify as a rogue lite imo.

Yup. Waiting for the Vita port. Spelunky was GODLY on the Vita.Cannot wait for this to hit Vita and PS4. It's gonna be dangerous being able to play this anytime/anywhere...

I've specifically held off on the enticing PC sales of it just to wait on the Vita release. I'm getting impatient.Cannot wait for this to hit Vita and PS4. It's gonna be dangerous being able to play this anytime/anywhere...
Past month they announced (on twitter) that the release date for PS platforms would be announced in July. I'm guessing they'll make a post on the PS Blog or something. So we wait a tad more.

I thought I read during E3 that it was coming around August 29.
Also holding out for Vita version.
YES YES YES YES! Nice to finally see some more Rogue Legacy lovers out there, I really feel like this game passed up a lot of people. Hopefully the Vita/PS4 port helps! I was completely taken by surprise by this game when I got it during the last winter sale. Played nothing else for a month and completed every achievement, so ridiculously good. Ended up in my top 5 of the year, even better than stuff like The Last of Us.
The controls just feel so good, even better than Super Meat Boy to me. I always knew exactly what will happen when I press a button, when to press the attack or when to back off and run, when to jump or dash, and it's just so responsive. The music was amazing and never get old, can hear it in my head just thinking about it. It had some notes of Zombies Ate My Neighbors to it, always a good thing. Most of my favorite games are ones that you can pick up and play for a couple minutes or get sucked into for hours (also like Spelunky or Diablo 3), which is exactly what Rogue Legacy is.
I... could go on. But I think I got my point across. I love this game so much, please check it out if you haven't yet!
Neo Bosses were so much fun. Neo Alexander in particular took quite a few tries, but I never got frustrated or bored of it. Just such a fun game to play moment to moment.

I've never played spelunky, dont even know what it is. But i hear the games design was influenced by spelunky, they even have a advance class called spelunker. So im guessing its a mining game???
Spelunking = exploring (also super fun IRL), not mining. Spelunky was one of the couple games better than Rogue Legacy last year and shares many attributes with it too. It doesn't have the permanence of collecting items and money from life to life, but the amount of knowledge you gain and stack on top of itself from just playing is absurd. It starts off super hard, but even without a guide or any outside help, all that stuff that used to be so hard is suddenly a cakewalk before you know it. So many secrets and interlocking systems, it's really a masterclass in game design. Definitely give it a try if you liked Rogue Legacy.

Did they ever add steam cloud support?
Waiting for the Vita release as well.
Spelunky was my first taste of this new breed of action-roguelikes, and I was really surprised how entertaining they are.
Getting a bit bored with Spelunky right now, so this plus Binding Of Isaac somewhere in the future is definitely one of the games I´m looking forward to the most right now.
Plus, this kind of game is just PERFECT for handhelds!

Any indication at E3 of a release window?

I've got credit saved up for the eventual PS4 release. I don't care if it eventually becomes a PSN giveaway. This looks too good to pass up.

I'm at new game +5 I can't beat any of the remixed bosses and remain stuck at 22/26 achievements. seeing my 100% gone was a sad moment for me. just really loved the game, but dont' see going back to it for a few years.
The game is amazing.
I cleared NG 5+, my stats were 172 kids, 18:15 play time. I also maxed out the castle. Best run was NG 2+, where I cleared the whole castle in run, and got 201,318 gold in 1 shot!
I did all this before they patched it though. I should go back and try the new content.

My GOTY 2013 if you go by total time played. It's the game I hold every other rogue lite platformer up against and none have come close.

Question : Is any new content planned for the upcoming playstation ports?
I played it for a while, but over time I felt like the game was too grindy, and that I ended up wasting lots of runs where I wouldn't get enough money to pay for any upgrades, which tired me out.
I feel like having to grind money to buy upgrades wasn't nearly as fun as The Binding of Isaac, where most stuff was available from the start and I didn't have to rely on persistent stat-ups to have have more of a fighting chance against later enemies.

Such an amazing game. Easily top 2 "knight" games off the top of my head.
The difficulty is perfect, and the persistent upgrades make it just forgiving enough that it's super-addictive. Pretty sure I put a couple dozen hours into it, and I'm tempted to go back.
I'm happy it's coming to other platforms because it means more people will get to play it. It's a shame we haven't heard much about them, I don't believe there's a release date? Anyway, if you can't play it on PC I can't recommend it enough when it comes to your platform of choice.

Was my GOTY whenever it came out. Played it constantly until I completed it, die and back again. Only recently discovered can go back from the shops to the castle screen too.
The other month I realised I'd missed some good bits and some achievements so back I go. My save has gone too so going to take a while.

Loved this game.
Definetely best played with a controller.
I cracked out over one weekend and put in 18 hours to beat it. I stopped myself from playing new game plus because I saw how addicting it was and didn't want to sink obscene amounts of time into it.
Highly recommended.

Great game. It's been a long, long time since I wanted to continue playing a game immediately after finishing it. Sooo good.
It's a wonderful game.
It starts a bit slow when you suck at the controls and don't know where you're going or what you're aiming for but when the upgrades start happening and you find a class you're comfortable with, it really hits it's stride.
Waiting for the PS4 version to finish the game.

Wut? That music right after you enter the castle is so good.
Oooh, hot tip. I'll add this to my wishlist and pick it up once I finish a game or two in the meantime.
Thanks!

Yeah so about that PS4 version...

Put in 20 hours but I never did beat it. I feel I got my money's worth so I doubt I'll go back.

In this case, the enemies are nothing more than moving environmental hazards. As such, you ARE overcoming the challenge of defeating them. If they can't stop your progress, you beat them. This is called playing skillfully.
Was gifted this during the Steam Sale (thanks again, Beatofficer!) and I've been playing it like crazy. Finally beat the Maya boss earlier today. I'm sorta hoping to be done with it soon, not because I don't like it (I love it) but because it's eating up all my gaming time.
I was hesitant to play this because I have no love for rogue-likes but don't let an aversion to the subgenre put you off -- this game is tough but the progression is the whole appeal of the game. That said, if you hate failing at a game, this one might be tough at first because it is very punishing the first few characters through (or at least it was for me).
I had two characters get that thing in a row. In a row! Like, come on. What are the odds.
