Rogue Legacy! The game that teaches you that colour blindness and ADHD are valuable traits to have! The game that makes you want your children to have genetic mutations! IT'S COMING!

So now YOU can play the game that everyone's calling "Rogue Legacy" - because it's been confirmed on Xbox One!

...Just to clarify, it's been confirmed via Twitter, where the developers, Cellar Door games, responded to a tweet bemoaning the lack of Rogue Legacy on Xbox One with:

"It's coming."

We definitely can't have misunderstood that, right? It's coming? To Xbox One? The game, Rogue Legacy, is coming to the console, Xbox One? Yes? Good. Continue the party.

YAAAAAAAAAY

So, for the uninitiated, Rogue Legacy is a rugged platformer with a flashy roguelike cape. Most interestingly, though, it features this strange line of messed-up gamey eugenics, where your progeny will take over the quest once your character dies. Various abilities - though, in the game, they're more like deficiencies you can use to your benefit - will help you progress in certain ways. Quickly, the game will devolve into you choosing your favourite child based on how much of a mutant they are.

Gigantism, as it sounds, makes your character twice as big, but dwarfism means you can fit into small gaps - easier for collecting treasure. Colour blindness puts the game into black and white. ADHD makes your character move faster. Having 'two left hands' will make your character fire spells backwards. Or, your character can be gay - which makes no difference at all to your abilities. Cooool.

Each time you die, your skill tree is passed down to the child who will carry on your legacy - along with all your tasty, hard-earned gold. There's not even any inheritance tax! That gold can be used to buy upgrades, making each successive generation cooler and more powerful than the last. Just like real life!

There's no release date yet - chill your beans, guys, it's only just been confirmed - but it's definitely coming. Get your baby makin' trousers on.
