About This Game

The first roguelike in which you play as the devil, which means you can change some of the game's rules to your advantage! Run after run, manage your team of famous evil geniuses as they encounter unforeseen events and turn-based combat. Unlock new skills, create powerful synergies and use your powers to turn the situation in your favour at critical moments. Only by collecting ancient artefacts can you finally take your revenge on the Demon Hunters.

A DARK TALE

Weakened from defeat to the forces of good, you fled the world and sought refuge in hell to survive. Decades later, you have returned with your most faithful Disciples to exact revenge on those wretched Demon Hunters. But the world has changed in your absence. Your enemies have become all-powerful, and a new religion – the Sanctua Lumen – has become very influential. It mercilessly hunts down all those who serve you. To reinstate your hold over the world of humans, you must first regain the strength you previously wielded by taking possession of artefacts with legendary power.

CONTROL FAMOUS EVIL GENIUSES

Create your team of 3 Disciples from Dracula, the Headless Horsemen, Bloody Mary, the White Lady, Lilith, Hecate, Baron Samedi, and Frankenstein and his Creature.
Each Disciple has their own unique story, abilities and gameplay: combine their skills to create devastating synergies, and deal with the mortals that dare stand in your way.
Collect souls and exchange them for new skills, upgrades and powerful relics that can strengthen your Disciples.

THE DEVIL PLAYS BY HIS OWN RULES

Sacrifice some of your health to control the game interface: nothing will stop you – and certainly not the rules imposed on mortals.
Manipulate the health bars of your Disciples and enemies, optimise status effects to suit your fight tactics, open portals on the map, tip the odds in your favour during events… there are many occasions to use your diabolical powers throughout your run.

TAKE BACK YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE

Increase the terror gauge by winning fights and completing interactive events to earn valuable bonuses for your Disciples.
Complete each event to your liking to reduce the influence of the Sanctua Lumen, give mortals good reason to fear you, and decide the fate of traitors who have allied themselves with your enemies.
Take revenge on the Demon Hunters in epic turn-based fights.

Rogue Lords is a fun turn based roguelike game where we as the devil gather a team of famous villains (disciples) to get revenge. The combat starts simple enough but can get out of hand quickly if you don't pay attention to enemy abilities, buffs, debuffs, ... RNGesus can be quite helpful at times by granting us strong traits, relics early on, but it can also give us useless ones. The game isn't difficult if you know what you are doing, however some fights can last for quite and get tedious. Overall its good and I wish the devs could've added more disciples and another story campaign or expanded the existing one.

Marrying tactics with roguelikes is like playing chess with a monkey. The balance of power is in your favor and your strategy is 5 steps ahead, but you lose one 90% successful roll and get bombarded by three waves of enemies you have no chance against; or the common (non-elite) enemy pack suddenly deals fatal damage to your main health along with your adepts' health on the first turn(!). It's random unpredictable bullshit that knocks over the chessboard and says "You lost, lol". Even silly XCOM's hit percentages leaves a chance for a comeback. Here you fail a perfect game (no continues) in a blink of an eye and sit trying to figure out what you did wrong. But your real mistake was thinking you had a chance to beat the casino. To be fair the tactical part is great, but "start again until you get lucky" completely kills the whole point.

Forced tutorial? Check. Forced CHOICES in said tutorial? Check. Tutorial teaches you to play tactics poorly? Check. Game crashes immediately after tutorial is over? Check. Skip this one, Get Iratus Lord of the Dead if this is the kind of game you're looking for.
