About
Rogue Battler is a retro-inspired minimalist auto-battler with roguelike progression, where every decision shapes your run.
Fight your way through a sequence of encounters, choose your path, adapt your build, and survive as long as possible in a fast-paced, strategic loop.
Combat is fully automated. Once a battle begins, your character attacks, regenerates, and triggers effects based on their stats.
Victory depends on how well you prepare:
Attack, Critical Chance, and Speed define your offense
Defense, Evasion, and Shield determine your survivability
Health, Regen, and Leech sustain you over time
There is no manual input during combat, only your decisions before it.
Before each fight, you are presented with multiple rooms.
Each room determines the type of enemy you will face, influencing the rewards you can obtain. Choosing the right path is key to building a strong and balanced character.
Every run becomes a series of meaningful decisions:
Focus on offense, defense, or sustain
Adapt to what the game offers you
After winning a battle, you will be offered a selection of bonuses.
These bonuses improve your stats and allow you to shape your build over time. Each choice matters and can drastically change the outcome of your run.
Occasionally, you will encounter blessings, powerful upgrades that act as enhanced bonuses.
Unlike regular bonuses, blessings provide significantly stronger stat increases, but always come with a stat penalty. These trade-offs force you to think carefully before committing, as each choice can strengthen your build while introducing new weaknesses.
Blessings can push your build to the next level, enabling unique and powerful combinations if you can handle their downsides.
Each run is different.
With randomized encounters, rewards, and upgrades, no two playthroughs are the same. Success depends on your ability to adapt, plan, and make the right decisions at the right time.
Rogue Battler features a clean, minimalist visual style inspired by classic retro games.
Simple visuals, clear information, and fast-paced gameplay create a focused and satisfying experience.
The game is easy to pick up but offers deep strategic choices for players who want to optimize their builds and push further each run.
Survive. Adapt. Choose wisely.
I'm thrilled to share this game with you. Your support means the world to me as a solo developer. Have fun, and good luck!

A fun and simple game which is perfect for multitasking. It can be quite challenging at times! I was even able to complete the endless mode :)
Very good small game that is quick to play and manages to stay fresh with its roguelike feature. The fast gameplay makes it suitable for quick games and is easy to put on a second monitor while you do something else. I also see alot of potential for future updates/dlcs that could add more stats, events and starting characters. The price is VERY reasonnable also. I bought it at 25% off, but would have bought it full price! All in all, would recommend!
10/10 fun game love it

10/10 !!!
5/5, un jeux que vous ne pouvez laisser passer à ce prix. Super bon jeu abordable, bon design et vous tomberez accro après quelques minutes. Les heures paraissent courtes et à certain moment votre coeur se pince quand votre vie et celui de l'adversaire semble descendre a la même vitesse. Je me suis même surpris à crier ``DODGE!!`` à mon ordinateur tellement j'étais concentré à pas vouloir mourrir (par miracle j'ai survécu et obtenu le boost que j'avais besoin pour continuer à survivre. Je vais maintenant m'attaquer a faire descendre mon temps le plus bas possible dans les scores. Il me reste encore a clearer le mode 999 combats. Je le réserve pour plus tard.
Good game. Minimalist and fast.
This small passion project is a refreshing take on the convoluted genre of Roguelikes/Roguelites. As someone who played more than 50 different roguelikes in about 10 years, I grew tired of the over the top mechanics, features and complexity. While being a short game, Rogue Battler manages to have strong roguelikes fundamentals. There are no in-between run progression, nor item complexity/memorization. It's up to you to win with the stat upgrades the game gives you. At first, it might seem easy, but when you realize that the goal is to finish the runs [i]as quickly as possible[/i], you start making mistakes that leads you to death. You need to find the right balance between the 9 stats of your character, sometimes making the choice to sacrifice one or two of them in favor of maxing the other ones. If chasing a quick victory isn't for you, you can still play and try to win with weird builds! Future updates could had a lot of content! New characters, new stats, new enemies, items, events and so on!
Retro minimalist auto-battler roguelike, that's pretty much it. Minimalist, fast, simple to understand. If you like some auto-battler, it's a good one. And for that price, you can't go wrong.
Nice cozy game, simple and yet quite addictive. I like the choices of combatant type to allow you to optimize your character and see if you're able to outpace the game difficulty climbing up from combat to combat. Well balanced too. Most game loop takes around 10-15 minutes which I think is great for a quick session.
