Roguebook News

Congratulations on those eagle-eyed fans who realized that Fugoro, the merchant of wonders would be joining our other heroes in the Roguebook as DLC on February 24th. Additionally, Fugoro will be free to play on rotation in the Tournament Mode that will release at the same time for all players.

We'll have more details on both Fugoro and the Tournament Mode in the run-up to launch, but for now, here's a little teaser about how Fugoro plays.

Pirate, Hoarder, Frog Thief, Adventurer, Toad, what you call him may depend on whether your interactions with the Merchant of Wonder have brought you wealth or calamity. For those who find themselves trapped within the pages, of the Roguebook, perhaps it will be cathartic that the cause of their troubles will be joining them.

Fugoro is position-orientated, with a good spread of Melee, Ranged, and Swap cards to keep him moving. He's got some great combos, for those willing to put in the prep work to pull them off and makes use of coins and marks, with some special coins for synergizing with the other heroes.

Here's a sneak peek at some of his cards (click to expand):

Let it be known that another "hero" will find themselves trapped in the Roguebook on February 24th.



This mysterious stranger will be available in normal runs for those who have the DLC, or free to use at certain points in the Daily Tournmanent mode that will be released at the same time.

Before we get started talking about our first update of 2022, we want to wish you all a Happy New Year and hope you all had a great holiday season.

Back onto the topics of updates, the first update this year adds some extra features and has a few balance adjustments.


We've added a new fully animated screen to celebrate when the heroes score a victory run. Fugoro's dark and corrupted shop will morph into a brighter and flourishing version, as the generally malevolent Roguebook becomes 'satisfied'.


We have added 21 new unique sounds to specific cards in an effort to add a bit more depth and hero personality to battles.

The following cards now have unique sound effects:

[h3]Sharra[/h3]

• Smoke Bomb
  
• Shimmerstrike
  
• Lightning Draw
  
• Fan of Knives
  
• High Five
  
• Time Strike

[h3]Sorocco[/h3]

• Fire Oil
  
• Buckle up
  
• Ogre Soup
  
• Dig

[h3]Seifer[/h3]

• Dark Knowledge
  
• Ritual Strike
  
• Whipcrack
  
• Hex

[h3]Aurora[/h3]

• Time stop
  
• Split the Timeline
  
• Toadsuit
  
• Battle Toads
  
• Triton Banquet
  
• Tadpals
  
• Quicken

When a new run begins, any Embellishments that give you items will all appear together inside of a loot bag instead of separate and sequentially. This hopefully will make the starting sequence for new runs more smooth and comprehensible. This is a quality of life feature we have wanted to add for some time.


Thank you for your feedback on our recent balance discussion news post. In the end, we decided it would be best to focus only on the changes we think will have the most impact without disrupting the general Roguebook experience. We saw some great discussions that we truly appreciate.

The following balance changes are being applied in this update:
[h3]Fill the Pot[/h3]
Rarity changed from Common to Rare.
[h3]Empower[/h3]
Rarity changed from Rare to Common.
(This is to balance out Aurora's rarity pool after adjusting Fill the Pot)
[h3]Bronze Boomerang[/h3]
Can now only be played once per turn.

• The in-game Credits have been updated
  
• Various minor bugs and glitches fixed

As we mentioned in our last update, this is a smaller update than typical as we are working on a larger one including a whole new Hero and the Tournament system. Not to mention preparation for the release on consoles. You can expect all of those in the next couple of months.

Regardless, we hope you enjoy the latest additions to Roguebook.
