*Excerpt*

Roguebook is a familiar story with fresh ink. Every time I review a deck builder, Abbee always comments that it looks like Slay the Spire, and she’s always right. But most of them have a large quirk that sets them apart. Roguebook has a few.

ou control two characters at a time. Managing the cards for both in the same deck while attempting to maximize their synergy. The exploration in Roguebook is also freeform as you use inks and brushes to reveal the landscape and uncover all the loot and power-ups you need to win.

Roguebooks storybook art style is exceptionally polished making it one of the best-looking deck builders out there with slick animations to complement it. Visuals aren’t all that important to the genre, but it’s a nice bonus and speaks to detail that went into crafting the game as a whole.

The smaller differences are less apparent until you begin to flip through the games pages. But they are equally important in making Roguebook a novel experience.
