Just like young Mac had to do in Pagemaster, so it will be in Roguebook, where players will have to battle their own bosses and enemies to escape the books clutches. In that movie Macaulay Culkin plays a boy who through a series of unfortunate events, ends up sucked into literary classics where he has to battle the likes of Dr.

As I said it’s pretty shallow but one of the reasons, I love it is how much it felt like I was, in a way, living in the world of the 1994 classic film The Pagemaster. He explains the dire situation and since they appear to be the adventuring types bids them to explore the book and fight the evil within in hopes to free them. When the books latest victims are closed within its pages, they are aided by a wise shopkeeper who has seen some things.

The story of Roguebook isn’t deep, in fact it’s quite shallow with the characters all being trapped inside the pages of an evil book with no hope for escape. Developer Abrakam Entertainment managed to entice the card game creator Richard Garfield with their first game Faeria and as far as I’m concerned, it’s a match made in heaven. It doesn’t take long to find that (pardon the pun) “magic” feeling from Roguebook and that is of course because it’s father also brought us the world and game of the still evolving Magic: The Gathering.
