No. I was stalled for 2 hours. Upgrades cost 2-3k gold and I was lucky to net that in a single run. So underpowered in stats. I literally put a single point in everything except health and weight before starting on stats. Just wanted to unlock the trees.
It may sound cheesy...but use grace runes. At the 2+ level, 2 grace runes should make it manageable again, and allow you to farm up.

Thank you! Seems like it only appears when you go to options of the title screen.
I did the same thing and while you might get stalled midgame, eventually you still outlevel the enemy scaling.
If you had put the hours you put in the new game into the old one you probably would have been over the hump as well.
I'm struggling badly to get out of the castle right now, but I hardly ever die with less than 30k in gold each run. Roll with 4 gold and a single jump rune and see how you do. I've maxed out my crit stats thanks to the increased gold per kill in ng++.
If I could just get out of the fucking castle with some consistency I have a feeling I would enjoy ng++ a lot more.

I could deal with him and the fire I think, but I'm running into so many of those fucking spike balls while dodging. Weird.
DONE
venting a bit and going in again real focused and with some more mobility (haste and sky runes) worked out well.
I now dread the last boss from what I've read in this thread.

I'd put spellswords at 4th unless you get one with flame barrier. but in NG+3 they stop being as effective as paladins or barbarians.
and archmages are great in the early game but at some point 6 mana per kill isn't enough and spellswords are always the better option for magic damage.
I don't see how a paladin or barbarian is anywhere near as effective as the spellsword, but maybe I am missing something.
You do know that the spellsword's special ability creates a giant and super powerful version of their spell, right?
With something like the chakram that multihits you can easily dish out thousands of damage per second and then get one critical attack and your MP bar is back to full.
even hokage/assassin can't keep up with the spellswords damage.
I seriously think spellsword is the best class in the game, provided you have a good spell like the chakram. Spellsword wrecked all the bosses up to ng+5 where I stopped, and I can't imagine it would stop being useful unless NG+ goes to like NG+30 or so.
I'm kind of stuck when moving into the Tower after I beat the forest boss.
Any advice for the area, I'm having some trouble.
Time to switch to Spellsword

wow I was making ok progress using all blood gear... then I decided to try other gear and the depleted health you take from blood gear totally was NOT worth it, managed to score about 6k gold on my first run and made it a decent way into the forest. I think i'm upgrading shit all wrong, but who cares, it's addictive.
Man you worded that weird took me a second to get it right. Yeah blood gear just doesn't seem worth it. The tradeoff and loss of HP is just so massive--especially with HP being so major in this game. It honestly only seems effective when combined with a bunch of other life leech enchantress stuff--and even then you miss out on crucial movement bonuses.
That said I restarted again for shits and giggles since I'm having so much fun and going pure Spellsword. Fucking love him. So so good.
Got to New game +10 this morning, and I have all my stats maxed now, and have bought all runes.
Still missing some equipment (mini-boss spawns are too rare...), but I have all the best stuff, so I think I'm going to call it quits now after 22 hours or so, since there's nothing left to spend money on.
Great game.

How long did you play it for? Because the first several lives you are obviously supposed to die really quickly until you get some money to upgrade your dude.
Also, I always thought asking your money back for a game that isn't straight-up broken is a bit lame, but whatever.

game is amazing! they should've charged you twice
4 to 5 hours. Just hit the "progression wall" where I couldn't get nearly anywhere.
So you played a game for 5 hours and want a full (15$) refund?

you cheap ass.
"I'm sorry this game is too hard for me after 5 hours of playing it, give me 15$"
edit: Double wtf this game even has a demo.
You played a $15 indie game for 5 hours and then asked for a refund?
Hahahaha, I can't even believe it. That's fucked up, man. It's pretty unethical and I think it reflects poorly upon your character as a person. It's like going into a restaurant and eating a steak and then when the server delivers the check you start complaining about how terrible the steak was and how you shouldn't have to pay for it.
No, if you don't like the steak, you don't eat it, and then you can rate a refund.

You should sue the developer Linkinto. They practically stole your $15.

For a game that has a really nice demo I think that was a pretty silly thing to do.

So this game has a demo that you ignored, you played 4 - 5 hours of it and yet you still asked for a refund?
Poor form.
I'm having real trouble with Ponce De Leon.

He's honestly not that hard; his patterns are some of the easiest to read in the entire game.

One of the biggest myths in retail. The customer is almost always wrong. You just need to do whatever you can to get them to leave without creating too big of a scene.

Rogue Legacy in one mail:
Sorry, but... No. Couldn't get fun out of it, and that within the first minutes. I always finish my games, but I think I've never gotten a so bad reaction over a game. Seriously, I really hated it.
All these people with so much love for the game, and you state rather objectively that the game is too hard and unbalanced to be fun.
You're unbalanced.

The funny(sad?) thing is that the demo for the game is very representative of the finished product. And it's only like a 120MB download.

Wow, Why would you post that? I hope it was worth it...
I'm sure this post must have seemed like a good idea at the time, but I can't figure out how

The barbarian's shout helped me out with both Ponce de Leon and the last boss. Up until the Ponce fight, I didn't even realize that it destroyed all projectiles, lol...
Well, I laughed at how utterly immature it is.

This seems like useful information.
Spellsword is without a doubt the best class, but it does require some skill as they're quite squishy.
Dragons are also useful in a few spots because they can fly. Some people might not know this (I certainly didn't until a ways in I admit), but when you activate flight mode you can move up and down with the movement keys as well, which is hugely helpful against the Darkness boss.

Seriously, feels so weird to read that mail.
But how about we rather talk about the awesome (even if undeserved) customer service of the Humble Bundle team.
Might as well wait until Thursday at this point for the Summer Sale.

Just wanted to add my two cents: Linkinito, that was the epitome of lame. I don't know whether to shake my head for calling this game "unbalanced", for just plain sucking (the game's not even that hard and controls like a dream), or for such a douche move towards the developers after playing for five hours.
No, wait, the latter is the worse one.

So if you buy the DRM free version and ask for your money back, you basically keep the DRM free version?
