Roguebook: latest trailers and screenshots

Nacon have shared a brand new trailer for Roguebook. This time, the focus is on the combat system of this roguelike builder (developed by Abrakam Entertainment).

Here it is:

In Roguebook you choose a team of two heroes from a selection of four available. Sharra cuts down enemies with power, Sorocco blocks enemy attacks with resolve, Aurora wields magic with talent, and Seifer unleashes his rage against those unfortunate enough to attack him.

Each hero has their own unique cards. Players will need to develop strategies and play their cards at the best moment and in the right order to create devastating combos. At the start of each turn, players know what the enemy attacks will be. Sometimes the best defence is attack, but sometimes it’s wiser to focus on defence to avoid a crushing defeat.

In true roguelike fashion, you must start again from the beginning after a defeat. But you become more powerful with each run thanks to the new cards and skills you have unlocked. It’s by starting again and again that players can fight their way through a bestiary that includes over 50 different enemies.

Also, another trailer was revealed last week, focusing on deckbuilding this time:

Unlike other games in the genre, Roguebook features a unique gameplay philosophy: the “Tower Deck“. Instead of minimising the number of cards in your deck, Roguebook encourages you to collect lots of them to unlock special talents for your heroes. Buy them from merchants, win fights against elites, and make offerings at vaults to collect as many as possible!

In strategic turn-based fights, you control a team of two heroes, each with their own dedicated cards. By choosing from the four heroes available, you can create powerful synergies: build an impenetrable defence against the most aggressive enemies or put everything into attack to unleash devastating hits.

And with transmutation and gems that grant extra bonuses when added to your cards, there are even more deckbuilding options. Finally, the world of Roguebook is brimming with treasure and artefacts that will make you more powerful during your run.

Finally, here’s some screenshots for the game:

Roguebook (Switch) does not have a release date yet.
