KEMCO has just launched a captivating new roguelite on Android called Novel Rogue, a card deck-building fantasy JRPG adorned with charming pixel art. This game is a treasure trove of books, magic, and strategic gameplay, wrapped in engaging narratives. You step into the shoes of Wright, a young apprentice learning the mystic arts under Yuisil, the Witch of Portals, in the mystical Ancient Library. Wright embarks on adventures through the pages of four magical books, each opening up to a unique world.
In one of these literary realms, you assist a valiant princess knight in her quest to reclaim her fallen kingdom. In another, you delve into the enigmatic underworld, unraveling its mysteries. Each choice you make alters the fabric of these worlds, ensuring that every playthrough offers a fresh experience.
What’s the Gameplay of Novel Rogue Like?
The heart of Novel Rogue lies in its dynamic turn-based card battle system, which evolves with each book you explore. Each of the four distinct worlds boasts its own deck-building mechanics. As you triumph over enemies, you're presented with a choice of three new cards post-battle, enabling you to craft the ultimate deck tailored to your strategy.
The game introduces a unique Change command, allowing you to redistribute damage among your allies, adding a layer of tactical depth. Another innovative feature, Novel Power, lets you enhance your deck's capabilities by utilizing ink. For those seeking a greater challenge, the Deep Record mode escalates dungeon difficulty, offering high-stakes battles that test your skills to the limit.
As you journey through these fantastical realms, you'll gather treasures to gift to characters, strengthening your bonds with them. These relationships can unlock a special ending, adding an emotional layer to your adventure. For those who enjoy personalization, Witch Stones provide the option to switch up character costumes, letting you customize your heroes with your favorite looks.
Novel Rogue is now available for free on the Google Play Store. Opting for the premium version grants you 150 bonus Witch Stones and additional benefits, including an ad-free experience.
