''Rogue Lords'' is a dark fantasy roguelike game developed by Leikir Studio and Cyanide, released on September 30, 2021.

Years ago, the Devil and his forces were defeated by the Demon Hunters lead by Van Helsing, forcing him to retreat to Hell to recover his strength. However, when fresh souls to nourish his power were dwindling, he decided to take matters into his own hands and return to the New World, where he would recruit new disciples and take the fight to the hunters that defeated him, who have now established a divine order leading the land, once and for all.

And the best part? YOU are the Devil! And you must direct your disciples to use every means necessary to retrieve the stolen artifacts and spread corruption upon the world. Even better, there's nothing wrong with cheating to get closer to achieving the best results.
