Release Date: September 30, 2021
Roguelike maintaned in turn-based RPG convention. In Rogue Lords we play the role of the Devil, who sows chaos in an alternative version of 17th century New England, with the help of his faithful Disciples of Evil.
Rogue Lords is a roguelike. The game was made in collaboration between Cyanide Studio, known for such projects as Call of Cthulhu, and Leikir Studio, whose portfolio includes such games as Isbarah and Wondershot. It was released by Nacon.
Rogue Lords takes us on a journey to an alternate version of 17th century New England, which is home to sinister, supernatural creatures and humans. During the game we play the role of the Devil himself, trying to regain his former power after a miserable defeat and once again sow corruption in the world. As befits a ruler of hell (albeit weakened, but still), the protagonist is not doomed to lonely crossing. He is ed in fight by the Disciples of Evil, among whom we can find Bloody Mary, Dracula, the White Lady, and Baron Samedi (lord of the underworld in voodoo religion).
In Rogue Lords, we travel through atmospheric locations and sow chaos by interacting with the depicted world and the characters who inhabit it. In addition, we often have turn-based battles with our enemies, to which we lead both Devil and his companions. Each of the anti-heroes has individual abilities, the range of which expands as they progress.
When the Devil is on the brink of death, his last resort is to use special powers and certain deceptions available in the interface, which can still change the fate of the battle in his favour. However, if they also prove ineffective and the Devil does not survive, then there is nothing left to do but to start the fight from scratch, because the game has permadeath mechanics.

Game Ratings for Rogue Lords Video Game.
GameSpace: 8 / 10 by Catherine Daro
Rogue Lords is an extremely fun spin on the roguelike genre, featuring addictive Devil Power design, thoughtful gameplay, a variety of choices and a highly enjoyable atmosphere. However, as always, the Devil is in the details: the game's RNG-based nature, repetitiveness and lack of balance can spoil the otherwise good impression.
GameSpew: 6 / 10 by Richard Seagrave
Rogue Lords, then, isn’t a roguelike for the masses. And even those keen on the genre might not gel with it. The long-term rewards just aren’t all that rewarding, especially with each run feeling like a slog. And while its unique mechanics separate it from its peers, they also overcomplicate matters. Still, its horror theme is definitely alluring, so roguelike fans who like a bit of darkness might want to give it a go.
TechRaptor: 7 / 10 by James Bentley
Rogue Lords offers an interesting Roguelike offers but fails to really live up to its devilish premise
