Rogue Lords

Rogue Lords is a roguelike. The game was made in collaboration between Cyanide Studio, known for such projects as Styx: Shards of Darkness or Call of Cthulhu, and Leikir Studio, whose portfolio includes such games as Isbarah and Wondershot. It was released by Nacon.

Plot

Rogue Lords takes us on a journey to an alternate version of 17th century New England, which is home to sinister, supernatural creatures and humans. During the game we play the role of the Devil himself, trying to regain his former power after a miserable defeat and once again sow corruption in the world. As befits a ruler of hell (albeit weakened, but still), the protagonist is not doomed to lonely crossing. He is supported in fight by the Disciples of Evil, among whom we can find Bloody Mary, Dracula, the White Lady, and Baron Samedi (lord of the underworld in voodoo religion).

Mechanics

In Rogue Lords, we travel through atmospheric locations and sow chaos by interacting with the depicted world and the characters who inhabit it. In addition, we often have turn-based battles with our enemies, to which we lead both Devil and his companions. Each of the anti-heroes has individual abilities, the range of which expands as they progress.

When the Devil is on the brink of death, his last resort is to use special powers and certain deceptions available in the interface, which can still change the fate of the battle in his favour. However, if they also prove ineffective and the Devil does not survive, then there is nothing left to do but to start the fight from scratch, because the game has permadeath mechanics.
