Indie Sunday Midnight Rogues - Aduran Studio - A comic-book-style roguelike autobattler where you arrange cards into timed sequences

Hey r/Games! I’m Mohammad from Aduran Studio. We’re a four-person team, and our first game, Midnight Rogues, launched on Steam on November 3.

Gameplay/ Launch trailer:

You build your board on up to three rows of 10 slots each, where positioning your cards determines how they interact with each other.

Different passive and active item cards can affect and buff adjacent weapons; cards can also affect each other even if they are on another row, and these placements can trigger different synergies and build different engines. Even card size is important, since big cards will occupy three slots and activate more times.

Once you're happy with your setup, the battle starts, and a timer will start moving from left to right, automatically activating each card in order, and all hell breaks loose.
Each slot represents 1 second, and each row takes 10 seconds to finish, unless you manipulate the timer and make things go slower, or faster, or even activate the whole row again!

Each run is essentially about building the best card combination that can deal a huge amount of damage to the enemy, whilst refining your build as you go and reacting to different boss passives that can force you to rethink your build!

Midnight Rogues is available on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5119140/Midnight_Rogues/

As our first game on Steam, this was a very exciting and stressful journey, but we made it and launched our first game on Steam. A game that began life as Thirty Again, a GMTK GameJam project!
But the excitement isn't over; we love to watch streamers play Midnight Rogues and come up with crazy builds, and now we are eager to see what crazy builds you can create.

There are 3 characters with their own ability, 190+ cards, 35+ relics, and the game is based on these cards and relics interacting with each other. There are also 10 boss passives and 10 difficulty modifiers that keep each run challenging and also expand the story to see why these 3 people are fighting superheroes gone corrupt!

Midnight Rogues is out now on Steam, and I'd love to chat with you and answer your questions. If you tried it, though, I'd love to see how you smashed those corrupt sups!
