In video games character die and respawn all the time. It gets to the point that most people expect that in every new game. In Rogue Legacy players only get one chance with that character before they die. Faced with the ultimate choice of picking a heir with a trait that will not get that them killed but something that will help get through this castle. Rogue Legacy is a little more frustrating at times which strangely enough makes you want to continue to play.
