Rogue Fable IV is the latest iteration in a project that has spanned nearly a decade of development. The series overarching design goal has been to squeeze every last drop of juicy depth, complexity and challenge from traditional rogue-likes into a tight and polished experience with runs that can be completed in under an hour and that is approachable by players new to the genre.

This latest instalment in the series has been slowly growing in scope and complexity and has begun to expand into spaces and mechanics that are unique to the genre. Despite this it has remained as free as possible of excessive stat and formula bloat with most of the critical information presented in the world and on the field of battle itself.

- More tactically involved combat with a major emphasis on mobility, positioning, timing and careful target selection.
- Deeper, more open-ended character development system that is balanced to encourage a wide variety of builds.
- Significantly more detailed, elaborate and tightly designed levels that help reinforce the core combat tactics while also creating a greater sense of a living and coherent world. At least as coherent as the doom fortress of a mad wizard can possibly be.
- Graphics are greatly improved and consistent with the main emphasis being on readability during gameplay.
- A ton more content in terms of talents, items, enemies, bosses and special levels has been added.
