“I'm torn. This game had potential but I think it falls short. At least in the first 6 hours of gameplay. I'll play more later and may update. Pros: - On sale it's probably worth it. - If you enjoy the grind then you may…”
“Roguebook is a wonderful, genuinely fun game that pulls you in fast and doesn’t let go. It has that addictive loop where every run feels meaningful, even when you lose. It’s tough, no doubt. Some runs can feel brutal,…”
“First few runs are a good warm up. Once you get the hang of it it's very addictive and has enough variation to keep you coming back. A steal when its on sale, get it!”

“Tip: If you make a mistake in this game, whether you play a wrong card or lose too much life. Just ESC and go to MAIN MENU, then CONTINUE. You start back the at the map either to try the fight again or do something…”

“I want to preface this with I never write bad reviews. I'm of the opinion that in a well designed rogue-lite, death is a skill issue. Any progression offered should enhance the experience, open new biomes maybe, a story…”
“Picked it up on sale for below 2€. Can only recommend, super fun to play, didn't encounter any bugs, the game is beautiful, animations are nice, soundtrack is immersive. Full priced is only worth if you know you really…”

“I bought Roguebook on a 90% off sale so it was less than five dollars and it was definitely worth it! I have liked these kind of games for a long time and it has some similiarities to Slay the Spire but in my opinion it…”

“Game's kinda neat, but it falls short in depth and variety, and gets old quicker than I'd have liked. I would actually recommend it, just not at full price.”
“A card game with a really charming art style. Probably not perfectly balanced, as some cards are significantly stronger than others, so I find myself stuck with the same build most of the times, killing the game…”
“I'm not enjoying it as much as Monster Train and Slay the Spire. Get it on sale Pros Great Art and Music Gems system seems pretty fun Cons No fast mode, which increases the effects of the other cons Grindy vertical…”

“The deckbuilding and combat are done well, it's a good game for it's genre. However, meta progression (unlocks between runs) does not make the game more fun, it makes the game more "addictive". Which is a problem with…”

“Picked this up on sale not long ago as Slay the Spire 2 entered early access, and I used to play Faeria a lot way back. Now with over 70 hours into it, figured might as well write a review. There is a lot going for this game. The art style is gorgeous and very recognizable if…”
— a player, Steam review · 74 hrs played“Forgotten/Underrated, familiar and new ideas. Ink/Brush navigation system slows the game down a bit. ====================== It has more in common with Slay The Spire than different, so I'll go into the differences. The map exploration is a bit sluggish and time-consuming.…”
— a player, Steam review · 25 hrs played“We have Slay the Spire at home. The card pool they give you here is good but the systems surrounding the game are it's weakest links. Map exploration with the ink and paintbrush system is cool in theory but kind of bad in practice. The swap mechanic is the best system this…”
