Rogues Don't Cry

Rogues Don't Cry combines strategy and roguelike play in a harsh, procedurally generated world filled with dangerous monsters. You choose a hero, hire units, build up a town and manage an army, then adapt your tactics as you face the world’s challenges. You can develop a few elite units, field hundreds of smaller creatures, or build defenses that lure enemies into danger.

Build your army

Choose from over 100 different units, from axemen to wild animals. Units have individual experience, skills and equipment, and can develop through more than 150 abilities and traits, including alcoholism, nerd and ejecting worms on death. Equip them with items and train rookies into masters over time. The game includes 200 items, as well as objects to discover and secret events.

Lead the battles

Battles take place in real time, with direct control over your units or automation when needed. You can keep units in reserve to protect vulnerable troops; if you lose, you can field the rest of your army once. Fast-forward through easier fights or slow time during larger battles.

Choose a hero

Each hero has distinct skills to select when levelling up and supports a different approach:

• Commander: field a large army, improve unit abilities and deploy troops more effectively.
• Warrior: become powerful enough to kill hundreds of units, if you can survive.
• Ranger: attack from a distance or use crossbows and primitive firearms at close range.
• Hermit: summon powerful animals or improve their abilities.

Develop your town

Find blueprints and upgrade your town with shops, camps, walls and towers. You can unlock heroes, starting units and buildings, but winning is possible without any unlocks. Town building has no additional requirements.

Continue the challenge

There are no level caps for units, and most stats have no maximum, so units can grow more powerful as you develop them. After beating the game, you can take a favorite army into endless mode for further battles. The final battle calls for a plan and careful use of your army.
