Cellar Door Game’ most recent effort Full Metal Furies might not have hit all the right notes, but there’s no denying that the developer’s first game, Rogue Legacy, still holds up today. Combining rogue-like elements with platforming and Metroidvania mechanics, Rogue Legacy was fairly well received at the time. To celebrate its five year anniversary, Cellar Door has rolled out a brand new update, four years after the previous one was rolled out.

Along with cloud saves being supported, the new update brings boss remixes to New Game Plus and above only. To better handle them, it’s possible to power up past heroes, though there will be a high price. Two new traits have also been added – Prosopagnosia (unable to see any information about past heirs) and Clonus (the controller will vibrate every few seconds).

Players who finish the game in 15 lives or less will also earn a new achievement- Thanatophobia. If you’ve already earned all Achievements till date, there will be a limited time where Thanatophobia can be unlocked. Check out the patch notes below for more information.
