Rogue Legacy 2 is a rogue-lite, meaning you’ll carry over some progress after each failed run. You can take any gold you pick up and spend it to upgrade your family castle, which then generates certain perks for you. These upgrades can improve your stats, add new character classes, or unlock different vendors in town.
Here’s a look at all the castle upgrades in Rogue Legacy 2. (Rogue Legacy 2 is currently in Early Access, and developer Cellar Door Games will add new upgrades and items over time.)
