KEMCO has released a new roguelite RPG on Android, Novel Rogue. This pixel-art fantasy JRPG features card deck-building, strategic battles, and captivating storylines. You play as Wright, a young apprentice studying under the Witch of Portals, Yuisil, in the Ancient Library. Wright’s journey takes him into the stories of four magical books, each transporting him to a unique world.
One book plunges you into a quest to help a princess knight reclaim her fallen kingdom; another unveils the mysteries of the underworld. Every choice you make impacts these worlds, ensuring each playthrough is a fresh adventure.
What's the Gameplay Like?
Novel Rogue centers around a turn-based card battle system that adapts to the book you're exploring. Each of the four worlds offers its own distinct deck-building mechanics. Defeat enemies, choose from three new cards after each battle, and craft the ultimate deck to conquer your foes.
Strategic depth is added through the "Change" command, allowing you to redistribute damage between allies. The "Novel Power" mechanic lets you enhance your deck using ink, while "Deep Record" mode significantly increases dungeon difficulty for a challenging experience.
As you progress, collect treasures to strengthen relationships with characters, potentially unlocking special endings. For those who enjoy customization, "Witch Stones" allow you to change character costumes.
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.
