The sequel to an underappreciated roguelike, Lost Castle 2 hits Steam

The original Lost Castle remains one of those often overlooked but very well-liked co-op roguelike games, boasting an 87% Steam rating since its launch in 2016. Now, after several rounds of public testing, developer Hunter Studio launches Lost Castle 2 in early access. A mix of Dead Cells-style combat and gearing with a town setup reminiscent of Rogue Legacy, it feels a bit like a roguelike spin on beloved classic Castle Crashers, and you can play it right now, with a Steam launch discount if you're quick.

[h3]1.Q: Will the game data be wiped from the Early Access (EA) version to the official 1.0 release?

Please stay tuned for the roadmap in the community.

While it is not included in the current EA version due to development constraints, we will prioritize developing a local co-op mode in subsequent updates.

[h3]Q: Will other languages be added for localization?[/h3]
