KEMCO has just launched an exciting new roguelite game on Android named *Novel Rogue*. This game blends the charm of a card deck-building fantasy JRPG with captivating pixel art, immersing players in a world filled with books, magic, and strategic gameplay. The narratives woven into the game are not only engaging but also dynamically evolve with your choices.
In *Novel Rogue*, you step into the shoes of Wright, a young apprentice under the mentorship of Yuisil, known as the Witch of Portals. Your journey begins in the Ancient Library, where you dive into the stories of four magical books, each transporting you to a unique world. One adventure might have you aiding a princess knight in reclaiming her fallen kingdom, while another could plunge you into the enigmatic depths of the underworld. Your decisions throughout these adventures significantly alter the landscapes and narratives, ensuring that each playthrough offers a fresh experience.
What’s the Gameplay of Novel Rogue Like?
At the heart of *Novel Rogue* lies a dynamic turn-based card battle system, which evolves with the different worlds you explore within the four magical books. Each world comes with its own deck-building mechanics. As you defeat enemies, you're presented with the opportunity to select from three new cards post-battle, allowing you to craft the ultimate deck tailored to your strategy.
The game introduces a 'Change' command, enabling you to redistribute damage among your allies strategically. Additionally, the 'Novel Power' feature lets you enhance your deck using ink, adding a layer of depth to your deck-building experience. For those seeking an even greater challenge, the 'Deep Record' mode increases dungeon difficulty, setting the stage for high-stakes battles.
As you traverse these fantastical realms, you'll gather treasures to gift to characters, strengthening your bonds with them. These relationships are key to unlocking a special ending. For those who love to customize, 'Witch Stones' offer the chance to change your character's costumes, allowing you to sport your favorite looks.
*Novel Rogue* is available for free on the Google Play Store. For those looking for an enhanced experience, a premium version of the game is also offered, which includes 150 bonus Witch Stones and additional benefits such as an ad-free experience.
