Evaluation
Roguebook launched on June 17, 2021 and received a solid run of post-launch updates. The developer shipped several major feature patches through 2021 (Patch 1.5 in August, 1.6 in September, 1.7 in October, 1.8 in November) and then in February 2022 delivered what turned out to be the game's largest single update: Patch 1.10, which introduced the Tournament system and a new paid hero, Fugoro (DLC-5, released February 24, 2022). A bug-fix follow-up patch (1.10.15) shipped on April 5, 2022, and a hotfix for input lag went out on March 3, 2022. After April 5, 2022, no further developer communications, patches, or DLC have been recorded across 43 scanned news posts. All five listed DLC items are released, with no unreleased entries on the store. The developer made no explicit statement declaring the game complete, but the pattern is clear: a steady cadence of updates through early 2022, capped by a major content release, followed by over four years of complete silence. The November 2021 announcement post (NEWS-6) teased the new hero and tournament mode — both of which shipped in the February 2022 update — meaning those promises were fulfilled. No subsequent roadmap or future content commitments were made after that delivery. The game launched as a finished product and received meaningful post-launch content additions, all of which have now shipped. The last developer activity was the bug-fix patch on April 5, 2022.
Evidence
Patch 1.10 launched the Tournament system and the new Fugoro hero DLC — described by the developer as 'probably the biggest update we've ever released in one day.'
Fugoro, Merchant of Wonders hero DLC released — the last DLC entry, with all five DLC items now showing as released and none listed as unreleased.

About this game
The ancients speak of a Book written since time immemorial containing all the world's legends. After many fabulous adventures, recounted in Faeria – Chronicles of Gagana, this relic was lost in a well of Faeria. Through contact with this source of magic, the Book developed a wicked free will of its own and became the Roguebook!
You are trapped in the Book of Lore of Faeria, and each page represents a new challenge. Lead your two heroes to victory in this roguelike deckbuilder developed in partnership with Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: The Gathering™. Put together the best synergies between cards, relics and abilities, and take on the Roguebook.
LEGENDARY HEROES
- 6 hero pairs – Choose 2 heroes to start a game. Each hero has a collection of over 50 cards, a personal relic and a unique skill tree.
- Maximise synergies – The hero at the front protects the hero at the back. Switch the positions of your heroes and combine their strengths to unleash powerful combos.
- Strategic battles – Skilfully anticipate and queue up your actions to defeat over 40 bosses and enemies.
BUILD YOUR DECK AS YOU PLAY
- Dynamic deckbuilding – Over 200 cards to cleverly assemble as the game progresses. You will never play with the same deck twice.
- Relics with unique powers – Upgrade your cards with 30 special gems. Collect 80 relics with extraordinary effects.
- More cards, more power! – Each hero has a unique skill tree to unlock. Collect cards and select the best skills!
EXPLORE A WORLD THAT CHANGES WITH EACH NEW BRUSHSTROKE
- The Book changes each time you open it – The map along with its mysteries and dangers are procedurally generated for a brand-new challenge every time.
- Paint the world – The Roguebook's pages are composed of hexagonal tiles. Use magic inks that reveal different patterns to fully explore each page.
- A range of encounters – Merchants, travellers, ruins, quests, etc. Lots of chances to obtain cards and relics… or to fall into a trap!
EACH RUN COUNTS IN THE QUEST TO DEFEAT THE ROGUEBOOK
- Hours and hours of fun – 20 hours on average to beat the game, hundreds of hours to unlock everything.
- Progress at your own pace – Collect pages and use them to buy upgrades. Level up your heroes to unlock new cards.
- 20 difficulty levels – Defeat the final boss to unlock the Epilogue level. Each level grants access to new relics, gems and encounters, but also spawns tougher enemies.
