GET LOCKED AND LOADED! WARGAME ROGUELIKE 'ROGUE CONFLICT' COMING TO STEAM MARCH 6TH
It's nearly time— roll out on a tactical, turn-based strategy roguelike adventure
Marieham, Finland, February 13th, 2025 | Solo indie developer Frans Wikman is excited to announce that his debut game, Rogue Conflict, will be available on Steam March 6th. This passion project features original 2D sprite key art created by Wikman himself and presents a brand-new approach to the classic genre, bringing the wargaming and roguelike communities together.
A Wargame Roguelike for All
Whether you are new to the wargaming genre or have countless war titles under your belt, Rogue Conflict is perfect for everyone. As an upcoming general, it is time to show the years of military training you've acquired from the academy to rise through the ranks. Each mission features everchanging objectives on a procedurally generated map. However, your ultimate goal in Rogue Conflict remains: strategically deploy your offensive units, launch ambushes to gradually diminish your enemies' morale and strength to zero, and capture enemy territories within the designated turn count.
Lead Your Retro 2D Sprite Army to Victory
Kick-off every mission with a classified intelligence report from high command detailing your objectives. Begin with the deployment phase by positioning your retro-inspired pixel army, which includes a diverse selection of sprite military units ranging from infantry troops to tanks. Start with recon units to reveal opponent positions. Next, follow up with artillery units to deal additional long-range damage on enemy bases. Close in with tanks for heavy attacks. Finally, top it off with air support to complete the task at hand. Each faction has unique strengths and weaknesses. As General, it's your responsibility to choose the faction that best suits your strategy. If you specialize in long-range combat, select an artillery-focused faction, though keep in mind that they lack support units and air power. To dominate open terrains, opt for a tank-focused faction, but be aware you may struggle in rougher biomes. If you prefer a more balanced approach, choose a well-rounded faction that offers military units in all areas at the cost of not excelling in any one specific area. Earn medals by successfully completing missions for high command, who will promote you to lead new factions and become the most highly decorated war general.
Personalize your Dream Army
Upon mission completion, players can use a Requisition Point System to upgrade their troops' abilities however they like. Earn more requisition points based on the increasing strength of your enemies or by completing the mission with turns remaining. Exchange RP points to unlock enemy intelligence reports ahead of the battle, boons, advanced vehicles, equipment, weaponry, and more. However, be careful not to spend your requisition points too quickly, or you may deplete all of your backup reinforcements before the battle is over!
Full Game Features:
- Choose from 15 different armies to coordinate your most effective plan of attack.
- Randomized map combinations challenge players' combat skills on foot and in the air.
- Requisition Point System offers boons to your units, reinforcement types, and large battle equipment such as tanks and aircraft.
- Run campaigns from a commander's perspective, managing complete control over your army's every move in battle.
