Earlier this year, Toronto-based developer Cellar Door Games said the chances of its rogue-lite title Rogue Legacy being released on the Switch was promising. Now, a UK eShop listing has revealed the game will be making its way to Nintendo's hybrid system next month on 6th November for £10.99.
Here's the full description from the eShop:
Rogue Legacy is a genealogical rogue-"LITE" where anyone can be a hero. Each time you die, your child will succeed you. Every child is unique. One child might be colorblind, another might have vertigo - they could even be a dwarf.
That's OK, because no one is perfect, and you don't have to be perfect to succeed. But you do have to be pretty darn good because this game is HARD. Fortunately, every time you die all the gold you've collected can be used to upgrade your manor, giving your next child a step up in life and another chance at vanquishing evil.
Rogue Legacy was originally released in 2013 and has since been released on multiple platforms. Take a look at the trailer above and tell us in the comments if you've got time for another rogue-lite on your Switch.

Probably my favorite thing about the game was the music.
Never did beat it though.
No way! I've been hoping that this and Spelunky would come to the Switch!
Woah I forgot about this game! I remember playing the PS4 demo and really loving it, but I'd never seen anything more of the game after that. I'll really have to look into it more now that it's on Switch.
This game is incredible. I sunk so much time into it on Vita. I prefer it to Spelunky and the run where I beat the game was such a triumph. Hope it does well on Switch!
Fun game. Now I just need Spelunky.
Heard a lot of good things about this. Will def pick this one up.
Progression is kinda like Dead Cells from what I understand?
Finally, the game that started the term rogue-like
Well this will be the third time I buy this game.
Great news.
@JayJ I hope that's a joke
I adored this game, kept hoping it would show up on Switch. It's one of the rare games that I'll be buying a third time.
fantastic game, but i dont think ill get it again. i already played it to death on vita
I already own this on steam so I will personally wait for a sale, but honestly it is a perfect fit for the switch. If you haven't played it yet I would for sure say to get this one. One of the best rogue likes I've ever played. Now I wait for Spelunky to show up on the switch.
Before my Switch I never tried Rogue-lites but now I am starting to collect them.
I like them because even though I’m a fan of well designed levels too, if a game is hard at least I have a different experience each time I start over. I get bored playing exactly the same thing again and again.
Oh, this game!
I liked it so much that I tried to see how far I could go with the first hero only!
I had a computer that wasn't powerful enough for the game at that time, so it was slow down by a lot. I remember trying from time to time to play on that version to do miracles, like killing the first 2 bosses and lose on the third one with the first hero only.
Good times. ^^
I might buy it again out of nostalgia.
I suck at this game, but used to enjoy it a lot on my Vita. Probably going to pick it up when it goes on sale. It's not one of those games that you beat, but it's fun in short bursts to try and push just a little bit further than last time.
One of the best PS+ titles. Would be tempted to double dip if there weren't so many other titles vying for my attention.
I'm guessing their are a lot of titles like this kicking themselves for not jumping on Switch at launch. 18 months ago I would have grabbed this without thinking. Not so much now.
@Dalarrun I rarely double dip on modern games but this one is very tempting and Spelunky would be a definite buy (again).
Seen as my Vita rarely sees the light of day this is a must!
@JayJ Nethack is coming to Switch? Yay!!
@JasmineDragon
Nethack and Rogue would be great on the switch, pity we'll have to wait for homebrew to see it.
Very cool game
I’m hooked on Dead Cells because of the sense of progression, which seems to be taking its cues from this game. So it’s day 1 for me.
I own this game on Steam and I absolutely love It. Since my laptop is far from a gaming machine, it might be nice to play it on a console for once
The one rogue like game I actually enjoyed...for a while. It actually made repeat playthroughs a lot of fun. Played it to death on PS3 and Vita and I won't be double dipping, but I have some fond memories of it.
Really enjoyed this in the Vita. Definitely a candidate for a double-digit.
Have this on Vita but never played it. Need to stop buying games.

No more rouge lite or likes in my life. I tried these games but they just don't do it for me.
ctrl+F "spelunky"
I see everything has been said multiple times, then.
HOLY BALD DiSLEXIC HYPOCONDRIAC KNIGHT!!!
I was just saying last week how I wish this game was on Switch, as I already played it and finished it numerous times, and would be willing to buy it again and play it again and again if it was to come to Switch....
Wow.... Ok... Now.... Man I wish XCOM or XCOM 2 would come to the Switch....
Only Spelunky is now missing to have almost every awesome Roguelike on Switch
Never beat it, might give it another go
Woah, this one I was sure would never come to the Switch, as I thought it might be exclusive to PS platforms, and instead here it is!
Probably gonna double dip on this one, it’s just that good.
@clvr it's been on Xbox for ages.
@JayJ Beneath Apple Manor (1978) was the first roguelike.
@geordie I didn’t know that! 😯
@Jevarel I figured someone would know the literal answer lol, because I sure didn't.
