What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to involve the community to get their feedback as we develop. We want to improve the game experience for everyone and make the best game we can.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Once Upon a Rogue's Tale will be in Early Access until early 2025.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The current version of the game features 3 main characters with their complete story that goes for 3 chapters each. We already have hours of content in the game, but we want to expand the content of the game for the full release. There are plans to add more cards, more playable characters, more events, and more meta progression. The Early Access version is only voiced in German, but we want to have English voice acting as well and expand the text-based localization for the full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please refer to the About This section of the store page for a more detailed look at what features are currently implemented in the game.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We will consider a small price increase when we come out of Early Access if we truly believe that we have increased the content and quality of the game to a level that is comparable to other games in our genre at a similar price point.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We want to incorporate as much feedback from the community as possible to make the game better. We have included a link to an in-game form to encourage players to submit their feedback, and will continue to search the Steam Community forums to gather all feedback. Players can also send us their feedback using the contact form on our website or by emailing us directly at ”

About This Game



"Once Upon a Rogue's Tale” combines strategic roguelike deckbuilding with the luck of the dice. Roll the dice and trade them in battle to play your cards. Dice also allow you to unleash powerful character abilities to your advantage.



Out of combat, you'll encounter events that will confront you with tough decisions. The choices you make will affect how the story unfolds, which will be written down in your personal storybook.

The fairytale worlds have mixed...

Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and The Frog Prince find themselves in an adventurous tangle of fairytales. Choose one of the classic characters, make your own decisions and influence the course of the story. Team up with strong allies and collect magical items to help you on your way through the colorful fairytale world.

Strategical deepness through positioning

Positioning is especially important in battles with multiple opponents and adds strategic depth to the game. Use certain abilities to influence the position of your characters and apply special effects to your opponents to be able to attack them from anywhere.

Battle between good and evil

Each character has their own motivations that have led them to the good or evil side. But ultimately, the decision is yours: will former villains become new friends or will you turn the entire fairytale world against you? Your actions determine the fate of the fairytale characters and blur the lines between friend and foe.
