Mariehamn, Finland, 13th November 2024 | Solo developer Frans Wikman is excited to announce the upcoming release of Rogue Conflict— Where the inspiration of classic strategic war games meets roguelike gameplay. Featuring key pixel art designed by Wikman, players will assemble their army, face opposing army factions, engage in turn-based battles, and demonstrate their military expertise in paving their way to become the supreme leading faction.
Prepare for Combat!
Congratulations, you have just been assigned to your new post! Step into the boots of a war-decorated commander and unlock up to 15 different army factions. Each faction, from infantry units to powerful armored fighting tanks, brings its own distinct strengths and abilities to the battlefield. Players are challenged to think several moves ahead. Assess the strengths and weaknesses of various enemy types, and use procedurally generated terrains from seven unique map styles to your advantage in outsmarting opponents.
Command your Forces
Begin every campaign with a transmission briefing from high command, outlining your mission objectives. Start with the deployment phase, where positioning your troops for optimal coverage of the battlefield is crucial. Create a plan of attack to infiltrate enemy territories. Use recon units to scout out enemy lines and captured village locations. Deploy artillery units to unleash powerful barrages that not only damage enemy units but also their morale. Coordinate with aircraft to provide air support, raining down from above while your tanks engage in close combat, delivering decisive blows to enemy forces. Dismantle your enemy’s strength and morale, depleting their health to zero, and complete all necessary objectives within the turn-count.
Customize your army
Adjust your strategies throughout ever-changing campaigns. Overcome enemy territories by securing enemy supply depots, radar stations, and nuclear power plants. Upon completion, players will have the opportunity to upgrade their troops’ capabilities through a Requisition Point System. Exchange RP points to obtain an intelligence report on enemy units ahead of battle, unlock boons and more advanced unit upgrades through new vehicles, equipment, and action abilities.
Gameplay 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.
The game ’s upgrade system offers boons to your units, reinforcement types, and large battle equipment such as tanks and aircraft.
