Rogues Don't Cry is a mix of roguelike and strategy.

You build a team, venture into the harsh world, get destroyed and die... then get back up and persevere until you win big and dominate your enemies.

It's got a unique feel and it's a challenge, but it's fair.

Here's the trailer

Typical roguelike elements

-Permanent consequences: if you lose you lose
-Procedural world
-Relatively short runs (3 to 7 hours)
-The goal is to beat a strong final boss
-Challenging
-Not much meta progression, so no grinding



Things that are different/more strategical

-You control a party/army instead of 1 character
-Battles are in real time with total controls of units
-Exploration is more like a strategy game, with enemies guarding treasures, and you having to choose what to attack
-There are some towns with simple building mechanics



I'm a solo dev who has been working on this for years. The game should launch in 2024 in Early Access (but a fully playable version like a beta).
 
Wishlist now on Steam!

Demo coming up this fall!
