Press release:
Lesquin, France, January 27, 2021.
Abrakam Entertainment SA and Nacon are today very excited and please to announce that they are going to release a free demo for their upcoming roguelike deckbuilder “Roguebook” (the game in which the pages turn as the adventure continues!) via Steam on February 3rd, 2021 (the full version of “Roguebook” is coming to Steam on June 24th, 2021).
As a matter of fact, “Roguebook” will be available as an exclusive demo during the Steam Game Festival, from February 3rd to February 9th, 2021. In other words, if you want to give the game a go, then you better be quick about it!
Developed by Abrakam Entertainment, the developers of Faeria, and co-designed by Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering™, Roguebook takes place in the enchanted world of Faeria. In the game, players choose 2 heroes amongst the 4 available and form a team to take on the legends of the Roguebook, a cursed book whose existence threatens all living creatures.
In Roguebook, adventurers on an almost blank map. They progress by revealing new tiles they can move to, using an ingenious inkwell system. The Roguebook changes with each run, so the obstacles encountered are different from one game to the next. Same goes for the enemies you must defeat in tactical turn-based battle.
As in a traditional deckbuilder, players collect cards that they can use in the different challenges. You can upgrade the cards by inserting gems to earn unique bonuses. In addition to these cards, players can 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.
Unlike other games where the most frequent strategies is 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 luck, players can create an invincible heroic duo!
The Roguebook demo will be available exclusively during the Steam Game Festival, from February 3 to 9 . There will be lots of streams to mark the occasion, including one with Richard Garfield on Wednesday, February 3rd at 10pm CET (1pm PT). Try out this unique and magical adventure for free!
The final version of Roguebook will be released on PC (Steam) on June 24, 2021,
and later on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch
