    Novel Rogue is a decent excursion from the usual KEMCO fare, and is well worth a look. The weak storytelling is offset by the deep card based fighting system, and the game as a whole works well.

    From its clever premise to its tactical battles and its pitch-perfect visuals to its oodles of side content, I loved every minute of Novel Rogue.

    Novel Rogue’s writing won’t win any awards, but its card-based combat is surprisingly deep and rewarding, marking a welcome creative detour for Kemco. With accessible deckbuilding that doesn’t sacrifice depth, this is certainly one of the publisher’s more engaging efforts.
