Rogue Legacy
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A platformer roguelite where gradual meta-progression rewards learning enemy patterns over time.
Endless Dungeon leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Rogue Legacy leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).

Twin-stick shooting during wave defenses
Rogue Legacy
Platformer combat requires reactive dodging and timing

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Endless Dungeon
Monster waves follow spawn rules, not adaptation
Rogue Legacy
Castle enemies are scripted; no adaptive opponent exists
Variance5 vs 5
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Endless Dungeon
Procedural floors and random resource rooms
Rogue Legacy
Heir traits and room layouts introduce run-to-run randomness
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Endless Dungeon
Turret placement and route economy planning
Rogue Legacy
Gold investment and class unlocking form a steady meta-progression layer
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
