Rogue Lords is a rogue-like game that takes place in a gloomy 17th Century New England, where mortals and diabolical entities walk side by side.The game inverses the usual tropes, with the player taking on the role of the Devil who, weakened following a terrible defeat, is seeking to regain his powers. His goal is to once again spread corruption throughout a world left destabilised by his absence. To achieve his dark designs, he directs a team comprised of illustrious Disciples of Evil, such as Bloody Mary, Dracula, the White Lady and Baron Samedi.
In Rogue Lords, the player explores a 3D map and chooses how he will sow chaos during numerous interactions with other characters. He also launches his Disciples of Evil into difficult turn-based combat and uses their skills as best he can to overcome adversaries. If he loses, it’s game over. The player then loses all character progress and has to start a new run. He will have to choose wisely in order to find a balance that will enable him to avoid defeat. As a last resort, the player can call upon the Devil's special powers and cheat via the game interface in order to turn the situation on its head in a brand-new way!
Rogue Lords is the only roguelike where cheating is encouraged! You play as the devil, and you can use your powers to influence and transform reality by sacrificing some of your Diabolic Essence.
NACON, Cyanide and Leikir Studio are pleased to announce that Rogue Lords will be playable as part of a closed beta on June 1st for those who register (opens soon).
Rogue Lords is also unveiling a new video that introduces the evil Disciples: legendary characters that possess unique skills and a deliciously macabre art style.
At the start of each run, you create a team of three Disciples. The characters have unique attacking and defensive skills, and none of them are limited to a single role. Choose your team based on your play style and adapt your Disciples' arsenal of skills to in-game events to defeat the most powerful enemies. Each Disciple has their own special skills. You will need to choose different combinations of spells and curses to create diabolical team synergies.
You will love exploring your dark side and playing iconic evil geniuses, such as the White Lady, Dr Frankenstein and his creature, and Dracula.
The macabre and poetic Rogue Lords is coming to Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One in 2021.
