Trapped in a Living Book
Roguebook is a 2021 roguelike deck‑building game by Abrakam Entertainment, published by Nacon. Released for PC in June 2021 and for consoles in 2022, it places you inside a magical book that sucks everything into its pages【828345141694736†L149-L167】. You explore an isometric overworld by revealing tiles with ink and brushes, searching for treasures, battles and events.
Combat is turn‑based and focuses on combining the decks of two characters simultaneously【828345141694736†L149-L167】. You enhance cards with gems, unlock new cards and artefacts and gradually open more of the world with each run. Roguebook’s colourful art and cooperative mechanics make it a standout within the genre.
Ink, Brushes and Strategy
The exploration layer sets Roguebook apart. Every run is a puzzle of deciding where to spend ink, which paths to uncover and when to risk tougher fights for bigger rewards. By blending exploration and deckbuilding, Roguebook delivers a richly layered experience.
