Rogue Hex

Rogue Hex is an independent 4X strategy, combining mechanics from the Civilization series with deck building and roguelike elements. It was created by Topstitch Games studio, which has Treadnauts to its credit. Our goal in the game is to develop our empire over the span of epochs.

Gameplay

The turn-based gameplay based on a procedurally generated hexagonal map is reminiscent of Civilization VI. We manage our empire from the Stone Age to the present day, using a deck of cards, climbing a technological tree that encompasses over 200 solutions, and trying to repel barbarian invasions. In Rogue Hex there is one opponent.

In most of the actions we take, we use a set of resources acquired from our settlements. We use Labor to play cards from our hand or draw additional ones, Food allows for the expansion of cities, thanks to Plans units can move further, and with Gold we acquire missing resources. By collecting Science points, we unlock new technologies, through Production we improve cards, while Faith allows us to exchange them.

After achieving certain accomplishments, we expand the library's assortment with additional cards, which for example allows us to use different units. We exchange special currency to make the next game easier, such as an early breakthrough or getting inventions.

Engine and graphics

Rogue Hex is running on the Unity engine. It is characterized by colorful low poly style graphics.
