Tonight, our team is thrilled (and a bit scared to be honest) to ask you to consider Rogue Lords for the Steam Award 2021 “Outstanding Visual Style” category, this would mean a lot for everyone who worked on the art and atmosphere of Rogue Lords. If you purchased the Supporter Pack of Rogue Lords, you probably took a look at our Digital Artbook highlighting the origins of the game, the amazing creations by our artists, and lots of exclusive designs and research for the Disciples, enemies and environments. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/9232bed228f6cd0bcedf59e4ed12d545a3d94e32.png Once again, we thank you for the support and feedback you provided us over those last few months!

Dear Disciples, A month has passed since the launch of Rogue Lords, and we hope that you continue to enjoy your time in the New World sowing chaos and destruction in the name of the Devil! To celebrate not only the release but also the spookiest time of the year, our team has worked on a new trailer highlighting a few quotes from the press from around the world.

Our latest Balancing Update has addressed a lot of balancing issues between enemies, disciples and relics. Your feedback is greatly appreciated to see how we can improve the game's experience in the future through additional patches! On behalf of everyone at Nacon, Leikir & Cyanide Studios, we wish you a devil-ish Halloween (and hope that you will distribute or get a lot of candies ːsteamhappyː). The Rogue Lords team

Hello Disciples, As mentioned last week, in our Message from the Rogue Lords team, we wanted to share with you a few tips from our Development Team on how to overcome some of the challenges of Rogue Lords. Note: This guide is available in English, French, German, Russian & Simplified Chinese in case you are not comfortable with this language.

TIP 1 - The Devil is the game's main character. Make sure to use his powers!

All these actions might seem costly, but they are usually worth spending Diabolic Essence on. Use the Devil's powers to:

• Heal a vulnerable Disciple who is about to be on the receiving end of a single, powerful attack (spending 5 diabolic essence to avoid losing 30 is worth it).
• Relocate the buff of an enemy that is causing you trouble (the buffs that enemies apply are designed to be stolen by the player!) or get rid of a debuff placed on one of your Disciples.
• Create a portal on the world map to reach a useful activity, such as connecting two Grim Reapers to upgrade and quickly retrieve a skill, or to avoid a risky fight with an Elite enemy!
• Try to guarantee success during story events to earn maximum attributes.
• Lower the health/spiritual points of an enemy or Elite to finish them off when their bar has already been lowered.
• Reroll a night's secondary activity.

TIP 2 - Sowing Terror is crucial!

Focus on increasing your Terror gauge from the start of the game:

• It helps you obtain relics.
• It increases the rarity of skills offered as rewards from the Grim Reaper, fights and events.
• It makes major advantages appear on the map. You can exploit these advantages to earn essential bonuses.

Remember that story events can also be a source of Terror! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/6bb75f8d85bd46e5e952e2499f295279bdf0d041.png

TIP 3 - Obtain increasingly rare skills to massively increase your strength!

Skill upgrades between the various rarity levels are significant. To reach higher rarity levels:

• Work towards getting ""three-of-a-kind"": when you have two of the same skills and obtain a third, you fuse them to create a new skill with the next level of rarity. In addition, when you increase the rarity of a skill, you obtain a second with the same rarity!
• Regularly leave a skill with the Grim Reaper: you can even cheat on the world map to quickly return and regain the upgraded skill.
• Increase your Terror rapidly.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/71a3525f6dcf173626c8a3d24f0a9813f2f7bd80.png

TIP 4 - Think about protecting your Disciples!

There are many ways to reduce damage from enemies. Remember that:

• You already start with attack/damage-based skills.
• Obtaining and upgrading defensive skills is essential. If you don't have any defensive skills, enemies will seem impossible to beat.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/fc864044474a0c077a6e54d7958478ffd1123045.png

TIP 5 - Relics are very powerful: have as many as possible!

Never overlook relics during your runs. You can obtain them in multiple ways:

• By moving up a notch in Terror
• By winning a fight against an Elite
• In certain events
• From the Grim Reaper

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/75ec526a7f87ffa9b43a5aee73d66c8a6df00bbc.png

TIP 6 - Don't forget Sacrifices!

You can unlock a skill slot for one of your Disciples by sacrificing a skill at the Sacrificial Altar. Sacrifices are important because:

• Unlocking additional skill slots is crucial if you want to defeat the stronger enemies.
• More skills means more variety in team composition and fewer recharges needed during combat.

To use them to your advantage, try to plan ahead and decide which skill you don't want and can afford to sacrifice. This skill will stop being offered to you during your run. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/5198feca02e6bdaa0557d7b1e1103045f8b65b97.png

Use the special talents of each Disciple, combine their powers to create devastating attacks, and defeat the members of the Sanctua Lumen, a new cult hunting down your followers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/f20e0b593ee5bce75090aee02aec2188377c4fd3.png

A roguelike with deep gameplay and unique mechanics!

During each run, you will build a team of three Disciples, level up on a 3D map and choose the events you want to trigger. This includes:

• Turn-based combat in which your Disciples will face the Demon Hunters of the Sanctua Lumen
• Interactive events that help you choose the best way to give mortals excellent reasons to fear you
• Encounters with the Grim Reaper, who will trade new relics and skills for the souls you have collected

Fights and events offer a choice of rewards, but you will need to select them carefully based on your tactics. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/2a46183c00537bfce23588b96a8a80a3b0818c0b.png

Use the Devil's powers to play by your own rules!

In exchange for some of your health, bend the rules in your favour. For example, you can alter the health bars of your Disciples and enemies, swap buffs and debuffs to suit your fighting strategy, open portals on the map to reach inaccessible areas, or even tip the odds in your favour during interactive events. Mastering this mechanic is essential for crushing your enemies at key moments. But be careful: there's a cost, and losing all your health will bring your run to an end. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/38f172278d8731b3565354f75c6925cb4f4f7965.png

The Devil does not know the meaning of defeat!

The turn-based battles are challenging and require mastery of the various gameplay mechanics. Your enemies are many, determined and well-trained. Luckily, the Devil plays by his own rules: acquire new skills, unlock new Disciples and return run after run until you impose your rule over all mortals.

The Blood Moon Edition!

Make the perfect deal with the Devil through the Blood Moon Edition of Rogue Lords! This Deluxe Edition of the game includes:

• The base game
• 3 exclusive skins for Dracula, Bloody Mary and The Headless Horsemen
• The Original Soundtrack
• The Digital Artbook

Greetings Disciples, The Rogue Lords Closed Beta starts today until June 8, 2021! This Closed Beta is free and easy to access exclusively on Steam. To take part, register now on the game's official website. Click here to register for the Rogue Lords Closed Beta The most eager players can now try out the game and start their first runs. The closed beta includes the tutorial, which is essential for learning Rogue Lords and its unique mechanics, and the first part of the story. In the spirit of true roguelikes, Rogue Lords provides a considerable challenge, and the first runs won't be easy for players. But thankfully, for this first adventure you have three famous evil geniuses by your side: Bloody Mary, Dracula and the Headless Horseman. Rogue Lords will be available this Fall 2021 on Steam.

Welcome back dear Disciples, We are pleased to announce that Rogue Lords will be playable as part of a Closed Beta on June 1, 2021 through a registration form. To accompany this news, we are unveiling a new video that introduces the evil Disciples: legendary characters that possess unique skills and a deliciously macabre art style. At the start of each run, you create a team of three Disciples. The characters have unique attacking and defensive skills, and none of them are limited to a single role. Choose your team based on your play style and adapt your Disciples' arsenal of skills to in-game events to defeat the most powerful enemies. Each Disciple has their own special skills. You will need to choose different combinations of spells and curses to create diabolical team synergies. You will love exploring your dark side and playing iconic evil geniuses, such as the White Lady, Dr Frankenstein and his creature, and Dracula. Want to participate in the Closed Beta? Follow closely our social networks to be informed of the opening date of the registration. Rogue Lords will be available in 2021 on Steam.

Greetings Disciples, In Rogue Lords, you play as the devil, who was defeated by demon hunters several years ago. To regain your power, your disciples – nine evil geniuses who have signed a pact with you – must seek out some legendary artefacts. To defeat your enemies, you must use your diabolical powers to cheat, in exchange for some of your Diabolic Essence. But be careful! If you use up all your essence, your run will end. Watch now the Gameplay Trailer of the Devil in Rogue Lords.

Combat

You will face demon hunters on your way to achieving your goal. These vile paragons of virtue stand in your way at every fight as part of one or more waves of enemies. If the health bar of one of your disciples is fully depleted, the disciple can still fight but is vulnerable. However, their death is not the only option: each time they take damage in this state, you can use some of your Diabolic Essence to protect them. To avoid this critical situation, you can sacrifice some of your life's essence beforehand to manipulate the health bars of your disciples and better withstand certain attacks. You can also do the same to the health bars of your enemies to weaken them. And your diabolical powers don't end there! You can also steal buffs from your opponents or return debuffs to those who inflicted them. It's up to you to defend enemy attacks and create devastating combos.

Interactive events

Your Diabolic Essence is also highly useful during interactive events. Your chances of success vary according to the actions required and the skills of your disciples. But by activating Devil Mode, you can tip the balance in your favour to obtain your preferred result and give mortals good reason to fear you. If successful, you can gain valuable bonuses for the rest of your run.

The map

With each run, the world map is randomly generated, and you will be offered several paths. You choose your route based on the events you want to trigger. But even when you have committed to a route, nothing is ever final for the devil. By sacrificing some of your essence, you can take secret paths to easily reach places with powers that can change the course of your quest. Stay tuned because Rogue Lords will be back soon with more information.
