* Some rules text is lacking clarification Hopefully we will see more of them in the future * Many of the great mechanics seem underused currently. * Menus and other minor UX elements could use some polish * Good price point, very fairly priced and well worth it for the many hours you will get out it * Art is pretty consistantly great throughout * Two-hero party system make deckbuilding more interesting and battles more dynamic * Innovative overworld exploration system This game is clearly a labor of love, and I hope that it is able to grow and improve to fit its amazing potential. The UI feels clunky in a lot of places, and some card/rules text needs to be clarified.

Most of the negatives are minory issues with I am confident will be fixed. I have very little negative to say about this game. This is a really cool mechanic with a lot of potential. Not only do the two heroes in your party determine the two card sets in your deck, but their positioning is dynamic and affects the costs, effects, and playability of the cards. In the battles themselves, Roguebook's biggest innovation is the two-character system.

In Slay the Spire, for example, you may have to choose between battles and upgrade opportunities.

Ideally you want to fight all the battles and reap the most rewards. It also allows you to choose more simply how many battles you want to fight before the boss, giving you more freedom in the risk/reward aspect. Composed by Chance Thomas, the multi-award-winning artist who previously worked on Faeria, the Roguebook original soundtrack is a musical journey through a mischievous and magical world.

PC Gamers got your back Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of. Roguebook's 'brush and ink' exploration mechanic is clever and beautiful. Roguebook stands out from the pack on a few qualities, but its not a must-play. I think this is also true of Roguebook.īoth Slay the Spire and Monster Train use a branching path mechanic to choose your route between battles and bosses. This was a key factor in why I like Monster Train as much as I do: It is different enough from Slay the Spire to set it apart. Roguebook seems to take inspiration from both of those games, and adds a healthy dose of its own unique mechanics. I've played a good amount of Slay the Spire, which can, to some degree be credited as the originator of the digital deck-building roguelite subgenre, and quite a bit of Monster Train, another successful game of similar type. Hopefully, that will be sorted out in the final release, but it definitely hindered the experience a tad not knowing whether or not I’ll lose my run due to a game crash and not lack of slack and poor decision-making like usual.I finally won a run this morning, so I now feel I can share my short review. I also ran into pretty frequent technical problems, having the game crash on me multiple times when returning to a run or trying to load up a new one. You play as a small group of heroes set out on a quest to repaint and. It added a whole extra genre to the game with its tower defense mechanics, and while Roguebook tries to do something new, it doesn’t go that far. Roguebook is a new take on the roguelike-card game subgenre with clear inspirations from titles like the two listed above. Monster Train was another game that was clearly inspired by Slay the Spire and incorporated a lot of the same or very similar gameplay mechanics, but at the same time, it still felt unique. Roguebook definitely tries to be original with its open-world map and dual-character combat system, but in the end, it just feels like another rip-off of Slay the Spire. The biggest thing that distinguishes a truly great roguelike from all of the others – and trust me, there are a lot of them now – is originality. While the characters are cool, the game doesn’t really stand out – which is ultimately my main problem with the game, it’s nothing special. The same goes for the graphics, its a cute and pretty fantasy game that looks really good but the art style isn’t that unique. The music is nice and atmospheric but didn’t overly stand out as anything special to me.
