It's fair to say that in most works of fiction, the devil is
portrayed as the bad guy. And in the upcoming roguelike Rogue Lords, he
will still be the bad guy—but he will also be
you.
Rogue Lords, which is being developed by
Cyanide
and Leikir Studio, is set in 17th-century New England, "where mortals
and diabolical entities walk side by side." And the devil, having
suffered a recent ass-kicking, is putting together a team, including
Bloody Mary, Dracula, the White Lady, and Baron Samedi, to help him get
his mojo back.
To
do so, the devil—that is, you—will guide his Disciples of Evil around a
3D map and stir up trouble with other characters. Combat will be
turn-based and, in fine roguelike fashion, losing a fight means game
over.
"Rogue Lords is a game we came up with several years ago with Jérémie
Monedero, the Game Director," Cyanide Artistic Director Camille Lisoir
said. "We are delighted to see the project become reality. We have
fantastic synergy with the talented team at Leikir Studio and we can't
wait to reveal our diabolical world."
Rogue Lords is expected to be out this fall.
