description Roguebook Overview

Roguebook is a deck-building roguelike game developed by Abrakam Entertainment and released in 2021. The game features design contributions from Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering. Players navigate a hex-based world map by adding tiles, revealing the terrain by using ink to brush away the fog of war. The turn-based combat involves managing a team of two heroes, each with distinct card pools and mechanical synergies.

Yes, Richard Garfield, the legendary designer behind Magic: The Gathering, was heavily involved in the game's design. He collaborated with Belgian developer Abrakam Entertainment to create the deck-building mechanics.

How many playable characters are in Roguebook?

The base game features two pairs of characters, and you play as a team of two during your runs, such as Sharra and Sorocco. Later updates and DLC added more characters, including a mech named Aurora.

How does combat work in Roguebook?
