About the game
In Renegade, players become elite hackers infiltrating a network of servers controlled by rogue super-computers in a dystopian cyberpunk city. Using deck-building, dice rolling, and modular map exploration, you'll fight through digital defenses, upgrade your Decker with new gear, and race against escalating countermeasures. Fully playable solo or cooperatively with up to five players, the game blends thematic storytelling with tactical deck and resource management. It's an atmospheric sci-fi adventure for gamers who enjoy deep systems wrapped in strong narrative flavor.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's team appreciates how Renegade layers deck-building onto a genuinely tense cooperative hacking narrative, with strong thematic cohesion throughout. The variable SMC opponents keep repeated plays feeling distinct. It's a great pick for solo gamers and small cooperative groups looking for something meatier than typical deck-builders.
What we like
- Rich cyberpunk theme integrated deeply into mechanics.
- Fully supports solo play alongside cooperative multiplayer.
- Deck-building and dice-rolling systems offer meaningful character progression.
- Modular boards and variable AI keep replays fresh.
Keep in mind
- 90-minute playtime and complexity may be daunting for newcomers.
- Deck-building learning curve requires a few plays to master.
- Cooperative-only format limits competitive group play.
Who it's for
Best for cooperative and solo strategy gamers, ages 14+, in groups of 1-5 who enjoy deck-building and sci-fi hacking themes.
