About the Game

The Fable: Manga Build Roguelike combines manga, tactical puzzles, and roguelike gameplay into one thrilling experience. Enjoy stylish pixel-art action while testing your flexible thinking and precise strategy!

Collect manga “panels” and arrange them on a page to fight!
Each turn, you receive new panels. Placing them on the page creates your action sequence. Place panels according to the situation, build the ultimate page, and defeat your enemies!

Experience three unique characters, each with their own style:
Akira – A genius hitman who masters gunfire and melee.
Yoko – Akira’s partner who uses mobile attacks to outsmart enemies.
Suzuki – A cold-blooded assassin who uses traps and bullets to defeat enemies.

Damage during battles is represented as holes in the page.
You cannot place panels in areas where there are holes.
Carefully evaluate each situation and defeat all enemies within the turn limit!

Between tense battles, relax with surreal little mini-game events.
Score high, and you’ll have a chance to earn powerful new panels!

For players who want to push their wit to the limit, there’s Puzzle Mode.
Use the given panels to defeat all enemies within a single page.
(Even the developers don’t know how much thought and time the hardest puzzles will take to solve. But don’t give up—there’s always a solution!)

And of course, it wouldn’t be The Fable without him—Yuki, the playboy. At the bar, he challenges the beautiful Yoko to a drinking match. Can this reckless, foolish man impress the Drunk Queen Yoko, or will he just crash and burn?
