KEMCO's latest Android release, Novel Rogue, is a captivating pixel-art fantasy JRPG with roguelite elements and card deck-building mechanics. This enchanting adventure plunges players into the magical world of the Ancient Library, where they assume the role of Wright, a young apprentice under the tutelage of Yuisil, the Witch of Portals.
Wright's journey unfolds through four mystical books, each transporting him to a unique and richly detailed world. One book might find him aiding a princess knight in reclaiming her fallen kingdom, while another plunges him into the enigmatic mysteries of the underworld. The dynamic narrative ensures that every playthrough offers a fresh and unpredictable experience.
Gameplay Mechanics:
Novel Rogue's core gameplay revolves around a turn-based card battle system that adapts to the specific book being explored. Each of the four worlds boasts its own unique deck-building system. Players defeat enemies, select from three new cards after each encounter, and strategically craft their ultimate deck for optimal combat effectiveness.
Strategic depth is further enhanced by features such as the "Change" command, allowing players to redistribute damage among their allies, and "Novel Power," which empowers decks using ink. For a heightened challenge, the "Deep Record" mode significantly increases dungeon difficulty, rewarding players with thrilling high-stakes battles.
Beyond combat, players cultivate relationships with characters by gifting them treasures, unlocking special endings based on these interactions. Aesthetic customization is also available through "Witch Stones," enabling players to change character costumes and personalize their visual experience.
Novel Rogue is available now on the Google Play Store as a free-to-play title. A premium version offers enhanced features, including 150 bonus Witch Stones and an ad-free experience.
