Posted on January 27, 2021 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop
Nacon and Abrakam Entertainment have announced that Roguebook, a roguelike deck-builder, will be released on Switch. The console versions will follow sometime after the initial PC debut in June.
Here’s an overview of Roguebook:
The ancients speak of a Book written since time immemorial containing all the world’s legends. After many fabulous adventures, recounted in Faeria – Chronicles of Gagana, this relic was lost in a well of Faeria. Through contact with this source of magic, the Book developed a wicked free will of its own and became the Roguebook!
You are trapped in the Book of Lore of Faeria, and each page represents a new challenge. Lead your two heroes to victory in this roguelike deckbuilder developed in partnership with Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: The Gathering™. Put together the best synergies between cards, relics and abilities, and take on the Roguebook.
