KEMCO has released a captivating new roguelite on Android: Novel Rogue, a pixel-art fantasy JRPG with a unique card deck-building twist. Prepare for a journey brimming with books, magic, and strategic battles, all wrapped in surprisingly engaging storylines.
You play as Wright, a young apprentice under the tutelage of Yuisil, the Witch of Portals, within the mystical Ancient Library. Wright’s adventure unfolds as he dives into the pages of four enchanted books, each transporting him to a distinct and richly detailed world.
One book might find you aiding a princess knight in reclaiming her fallen kingdom; another plunges you into the enigmatic mysteries of the underworld. Every choice you make profoundly impacts these worlds, ensuring that each playthrough offers a fresh and unpredictable experience.
Gameplay in Novel Rogue
At its core, Novel Rogue features a turn-based card battle system that dynamically adapts to the book you're currently exploring. Each of the four worlds boasts its own unique deck-building mechanics. Defeat enemies, choose from three new cards after every battle, and craft the ultimate deck to conquer the challenges ahead.
Strategic depth is added through the "Change" command, allowing you to strategically redistribute damage among your allies. The "Novel Power" mechanic empowers your deck using ink, while the "Deep Record" mode significantly increases dungeon difficulty for players seeking high-stakes battles and a true test of skill.
As you progress, collect treasures to strengthen your relationships with various characters. These bonds can unlock special endings, adding another layer of replayability. For those who appreciate visual customization, Witch Stones allow you to change character costumes and express your personal style.
Novel Rogue is available now for free on the Google Play Store. A premium version is also offered, providing 150 bonus Witch Stones and additional perks like an ad-free experience.
