Hopefully, that will be sorted out in the final release, but it definitely hindered the experience a tad not knowing whether or not I’ll lose my run due to a game crash and not lack of slack and poor decision-making like usual. He carries a large backpack bursting with treasures and magical coins, and is surprisingly agile with his staff, which he uses to leave marks on enemies. I also ran into pretty frequent technical problems, having the game crash on me multiple times when returning to a run or trying to load up a new one. Infamous for being an adventurer, collector, pirate captain and frog-thief, Fugoro is a mysterious triton and the one responsible for the catastrophe involving the Roguebook. It added a whole extra genre to the game with its tower defense mechanics, and while Roguebook tries to do something new, it doesn’t go that far. Monster Train was another game that was clearly inspired by Slay the Spire and incorporated a lot of the same or very similar gameplay mechanics, but at the same time, it still felt unique. The Psychoduck is a stealth game about a psychotic duck who collects crowns and has no problem killing all the enemy herons to increase his collection. Roguebook definitely tries to be original with its open-world map and dual-character combat system, but in the end, it just feels like another rip-off of Slay the Spire. The biggest thing that distinguishes a truly great roguelike from all of the others – and trust me, there are a lot of them now – is originality.
While the characters are cool, the game doesn’t really stand out – which is ultimately my main problem with the game, it’s nothing special. The same goes for the graphics, its a cute and pretty fantasy game that looks really good but the art style isn’t that unique. The music is nice and atmospheric but didn’t overly stand out as anything special to me.
