Platform: Played on PC
The overwhelming inspiration is Slay the Spire, that much is obvious. Not only is it a Roguelike deckbuilder, it goes as far as to copy the Strike and Defend cards in your opening deck. But I think we can probably consider Slay a template for the genre at this point anyway, so let s move on, because it s in the differences where Roguebook becomes interesting.
In Roguebook, you see, you don t control one hero but two. And each of these heroes has their own cards that make up your deck. In order for them to attack, you have to play their specific attack card, and the same goes for blocking. However, block is shared between characters, which means whichever character stands at the front, at turn s end, gets the benefit of the block. This is important, because it s the character standing at the front who takes damage. Positioning, therefore, is vital.

This trailer for upcoming horror game Hidden Deep made me laugh so hard I scared my kids by: Eric - posted: 1/26/2021 11:30:00 AM
Look, I know that not everyone howls with laughter when they see a particularly gory or surprising kill in a horror movie. But I usually can t help myself. It s an involuntary, spontaneous reaction of delight.

I immediately scrambled to cover my screen with my hands in a panic, but I m afraid he might have seen the bit where the guy tries to make a leap of faith and ends up eating a mo
