Our take on Roguebook
Rather than using a single hero and a fixed route, Roguebook makes two-character positioning part of its deckbuilding structure. Its changing hex-tile pages replace a standard set map, while repeated runs expand access to cards, relics, encounters, and difficulty levels.
What is Roguebook?
Roguebook is a roguelike deckbuilder set inside a living book, where each page presents a new challenge.
Choose two heroes from six pairs, then combine their cards, relics, abilities, and skill trees. Positioning matters: the front hero protects the one behind, and switching places can create different combinations. Battles require players to plan and queue actions against more than 40 enemies and bosses. During each run, more than 200 cards, 30 gems, and 80 relics provide deckbuilding and upgrade options.
Procedurally generated maps use hexagonal tiles and magic inks to reveal encounters such as merchants, travellers, ruins, and quests. Runs take about 20 hours on average, while full unlocks can take hundreds of hours. Twenty difficulty levels add tougher enemies and new rewards.
