KEMCO has released a new roguelite RPG for Android: Novel Rogue. This pixel-art fantasy JRPG features card deck-building and captivating storytelling. Prepare for a journey filled with magic, strategy, and intriguing narratives.
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 delves into four magical books, each transporting him to a unique and richly detailed world.
One book leads to a quest assisting a princess knight in reclaiming her fallen kingdom; another plunges you into the enigmatic mysteries of the underworld. Your choices significantly impact these worlds, ensuring each playthrough offers a fresh and unpredictable experience.
What's the Gameplay Like?
At its core, Novel Rogue utilizes a turn-based card battle system that dynamically adapts to the world you're exploring. Each of the four books presents a distinct deck-building mechanic. Defeat enemies, choose from three new cards after each battle, and craft the ultimate deck to conquer your foes.
Strategic depth is added with the "Change" command, allowing you to redistribute damage among your allies. "Novel Power," fueled by ink, enhances your deck's strength. For a greater challenge, the Deep Record mode significantly increases dungeon difficulty, rewarding skilled players with high-stakes battles.
As you progress, collect treasures to strengthen your relationships with characters, ultimately unlocking a special ending. Customize your character's appearance with Witch Stones, allowing you to swap costumes and showcase your favorite looks.
Novel Rogue is available now for free on the Google Play Store. A premium version offers 150 bonus Witch Stones and additional perks, including an ad-free experience.
