Publisher Nacon and developers Cyanide Studio and Leikir Studio have released a new trailer for dark fantasy roguelike Rogue Lords introducing the devil.
“In Rogue Lords, you play as the devil, who was defeated by demon hunters several years ago,” reads the trailer description. “To regain your power, your disciples—nine evil geniuses who have signed a pact with you—must seek out some legendary artefacts. To defeat your enemies, you must use your diabolical powers to cheat, in exchange for some of your Diabolic Essence. But be careful! If you use up all your essence, your run will end.”
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
