The Fable: Manga Build Roguelike is the latest project from MONO ENTERTAINMENT and Kodansha, bringing the world of the manga The Fable into a new format.
Launching in November 2025, the game adapts the crime-comedy tone of the source material into a strategy-driven roguelike with turn-based battles, deckbuilding elements, and a comic-inspired presentation.
Each run asks players to piece together a build from a growing pool of cards and upgrades, with synergies shaping the outcome of battles.
Encounters are presented as tactical puzzles where positioning and timing matter as much as the abilities you’ve unlocked.
Visually, the game draws heavily on its manga origins. Pixel-art characters and environments are framed with bold comic panel effects, blending retro graphics with the flair of hand-drawn storytelling.
The mix of lighthearted humor and violent action mirrors the manga’s style, creating a distinctive tone that sets it apart from more traditional roguelite deckbuilders.
At its core, The Fable: Manga Build Roguelike is built around variety. The steady expansion of cards, builds, and scenarios keeps players adjusting their strategies with every step.
Below are more details about the game, which will debut during the October Steam Next Fest 2025, along with the latest trailer. Here is the Steam Page.

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?
