Publisher NACON and developers, Cyanide Studio and Leikir Studio, have announced that their turn-based rougelike game, Rogue Lords, is available today on PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store.)
Play as the Devil, find artefacts with legendary powers and regain your former strength to take revenge on the Demon Hunters in Rogue Lords, a roguelike in which cheating is part of the game.
Rogue Lords takes you to a dark and mature world inspired by 18th century New England and the Salem Witch Trials. Players take on the role of the Devil. You have returned to the human world to take revenge against the Demon Hunters who subjected you to a heavy defeat 10 years ago.
Rogue Lords Features:
- Build Your Team From 9 Infamous Evil Geniuses: Dracula, the Headless Horseman, Bloody Mary, the White Lady, Hecate, Baron Samedi, and Frankenstein and his Creature are all available to serve you. Use the special talents of each Disciple, combine their powers to create devastating attacks, and defeat the members of Sanctua Lumen, a new cult hunting down your followers.
- A Roguelike with Deep Gameplay and Unique Mechanics: During each run, you will build a team of 3 Disciples, progress through the game on a 3D map and choose the events you want to trigger. This includes:
- Turn-based combat in which your Disciples will face the Demon Hunters and the Sanctua Lumen.
- Interactive events in which you choose the best way to give mortals excellent reasons to fear you.
- Encounters with the Grim Reaper, who will trade new relics and skills for the souls you have collected.
- Use the Devil’s Powers to Play by Your Own Rules: In exchange for some of your own health, bend the rules in your favor – alter the health bars of your Disciples and enemies alike, swap buffs and debuffs to suit your fighting strategy, open portals on the map to reach inaccessible areas, or even tip the odds in your favor during interactive events. Mastering this mechanics is essential for crushing your enemies at key moments. But be careful: there’s a cost, and losing all your health will bring your run to an end.
- The Devil Does Not Know the Meaning of Defeat: The turn-based battles are challenging and require mastery of the various gameplay mechanics. Your enemies are many, determined and well-trained. Luckily, the Devil plays by his own rules: acquire new skills, unlock new Disciples and return run after run until you impose your rule over all mortals.
Rogue Lords will arrive in early 2022 on PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One.
