Songs of Heroes and Rogues

Reach and defend your castle from a dangerous enemy attack. Songs of Heroes and Rogues is an entry to 7DRL25.

This is updated version of the game, with some bug fixes and new features. The original 7DRL25 version can be played here.

How to play

Your goal is to get to the castle (pointed by the arrow) before the red region gets there and fight. The area shown by yellow exclamation marks is the area where the red region extends to during the night.

Only mouse is needed to play, but there are few useful keyboard shortcuts too:

• A: makes AI handle a single combat step
• D: use defend action in combat
• C: open spellbook in combat
• I: open hero/inventory view

How it works

Attack and defense attributes of the hero are added to each unit in the army. Difference between attack and defense attributes affects the combat damage dealt to the target (increase by 5%). Also terrain height difference has a small effect.

Spell Power increases power of spells. How it affects the spell depends on the type of the spell (usually it is said in the description). Spells can only be cast in combat and usually only one spell can be cast per combat round.

Each point in Knowledge increases maximum mana by 5. Mana is completely refreshed each morning.

Tips

If you get caught in the red region during the night, you will be attacked.

Spell casting is done from the hand button on the left/right edge of the screen in combat.

The spell Raise Skeleton is not a summon spell, so skeletons raised with it remain in your army after the combat if there is enough room.

Keep an eye on your gold. If you run out of gold and cannot pay salaries in full, some of your units may leave.
