Nacon along with Abrakam Entertainment just revealed a new Roguebook gameplay trailer at the MIX Game Dev Direct event. The video for the roguelike deckbuilder highlights the main gameplay elements and some of its finer points.
The game is currently planned for a release on June 24 for PC, while a console version is planned to follow later this year.
Check out the new Roguebook gameplay trailer below:
Embrace the challenge of a roguelike deckbuilder with unique mechanics from the developers of Faeria and Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: The Gathering™. Build a team of two heroes, unleash powerful combos and defeat the legends of the Roguebook!
The adventure in Roguebook starts with an almost blank map where players will progress by revealing new tiles they can move, using an ingenious inkwell system. With each run, the Roguebook will change, which means the obstacles encountered are different from one game to the next. The same goes for the enemies that players must defeat in tactical turn-based battle.
Like a traditional deckbuilder, you will collect cards that you can use in the different challenges. Upgrade cards by inserting gems and earn unique bonuses. In addition to the cards, you can also create dazzling team synergies using each hero’s specific abilities. These abilities are found in a skill tree, and can be unlocked through a disruptive mechanism: the Tower Deck.
However, unlike other games where the most frequent strategies are streamlining your deck, Roguebook encourages players to build a deck using as many cards as possible in order to increase the team’s offensive and defensive capabilities. With a meticulous strategy, wise moves and a little bit of fortune, you can create an invincible heroic duo.
