Drunken Rogue is a card roguelike about Lita, a drunken thief who heads for the castle of the vampire king Endo in search of his hidden collection of expensive wine. The road to the prize runs through several dungeons, and every new floor has its own traps, hazardous terrain and ferocious demons in store. Charging straight ahead is far too risky here, so you have to rely on unusual abilities and plan in advance how to survive the next challenge.
Liquid Courage
Alcohol doesn't get in the heroine's way here. Quite the opposite: it becomes the source of her strength. The drunker Lita gets, the more powerful her abilities become, but her perception of the world around her changes along with it. Reality starts blending with hallucinations, so even the arrival of her loyal dog Odysseus might turn out to be a trick. You have to keep track not only of the character's condition but also of the consequences of drinking too much.
To reach the castle, you need to get through a series of dungeons, each with different conditions. Lita can use her wind cloak to dodge danger, while Endo is able to turn into mist. Threats you avoid don't disappear for good, though; they come back on the next floor in an even more dangerous form. So every decision shapes the road ahead and forces you to choose between safety right now and problems you'll have to deal with later.
