Evaluation
Rogue Lords launched on September 30, 2021. Following launch, the developer shipped a series of patches over the following months: bug fixes in October 2021, a balancing overhaul in late October 2021, a feature update adding Apprentice difficulty mode in November 2021, a performance patch in May 2022, and a final bug fix patch on July 11, 2022. That July 2022 patch is the last recorded developer communication of any kind.
The game has one DLC listed — the Supporter Pack (a cosmetic/soundtrack bundle) — which released on launch day. No unreleased DLC is listed on the store, and no roadmap, expansion, or future content was ever announced beyond the post-launch patches. The developer never teased or promised additional story content, new disciples, or expansions.
The update history shows a classic post-launch support pattern: fix critical bugs, balance the game, add a quality-of-life feature, then wind down. No further communication has occurred since July 11, 2022, and there is no indication from the developer that additional content was ever planned beyond what shipped. The game was released as a complete product and its post-launch support cycle has concluded.
Evidence
Patch 1.1.04.10 fixed a handful of bugs. This is the final developer communication on record — no posts or updates have appeared since this date.
Rogue Lords launched on September 30, 2021 as a complete turn-based roguelike with 8 disciples, full campaign, and a cosmetic Supporter Pack DLC.

About this game
The first roguelike in which you play as the devil, which means you can change some of the game's rules to your advantage! Run after run, manage your team of famous evil geniuses as they encounter unforeseen events and turn-based combat. Unlock new skills, create powerful synergies and use your powers to turn the situation in your favour at critical moments. Only by collecting ancient artefacts can you finally take your revenge on the Demon Hunters.
A DARK TALE
Weakened from defeat to the forces of good, you fled the world and sought refuge in hell to survive. Decades later, you have returned with your most faithful Disciples to exact revenge on those wretched Demon Hunters. But the world has changed in your absence. Your enemies have become all-powerful, and a new religion – the Sanctua Lumen – has become very influential. It mercilessly hunts down all those who serve you. To reinstate your hold over the world of humans, you must first regain the strength you previously wielded by taking possession of artefacts with legendary power.
CONTROL FAMOUS EVIL GENIUSES
- Create your team of 3 Disciples from Dracula, the Headless Horsemen, Bloody Mary, the White Lady, Lilith, Hecate, Baron Samedi, and Frankenstein and his Creature.
- Each Disciple has their own unique story, abilities and gameplay: combine their skills to create devastating synergies, and deal with the mortals that dare stand in your way.
- Collect souls and exchange them for new skills, upgrades and powerful relics that can strengthen your Disciples.
THE DEVIL PLAYS BY HIS OWN RULES
- Sacrifice some of your health to control the game interface: nothing will stop you – and certainly not the rules imposed on mortals.
- Manipulate the health bars of your Disciples and enemies, optimise status effects to suit your fight tactics, open portals on the map, tip the odds in your favour during events… there are many occasions to use your diabolical powers throughout your run.
TAKE BACK YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE
- Increase the terror gauge by winning fights and completing interactive events to earn valuable bonuses for your Disciples.
- Complete each event to your liking to reduce the influence of the Sanctua Lumen, give mortals good reason to fear you, and decide the fate of traitors who have allied themselves with your enemies.
- Take revenge on the Demon Hunters in epic turn-based fights.
