    I am tempted to try this seen as there not too many shooters on the switch yet it could have filled the gap.

    But this is a redux of a old ps2 game and feel 19.99 is a silly price tag. Wouldn’t pay more than 10 for this tbh

    Based on their inability to find a suitable price point I hold no hopes out for a good game here.

    Eating for JYDGE instead reasonable prise for a modern game

    Rogue Trooper Redux
    Repetitive and Dated
    Rogue Troop Redux is a remake of an Xbox and ps2 game Rogue Trooper from 2006 And while there are some good part of this 3rd person shooter… Even considering its initial release... this shooter feels dated… Rogue Trooper Redux contains a 6 hour long story mode and a cooperative online mode where you’re either choosing your loadout and doing a    Rogue Trooper Redux

    And while there are some good part of this 3rd person shooter…
    Even considering its initial release... this shooter feels dated…
    Rogue Trooper Redux contains a 6 hour long story mode and a cooperative online mode where you’re either choosing your loadout and doing a co-op mission or a defense mission with ammo around the map instead of crafted like in story…
    Online is a pretty mediocre experience and pretty dead even on launch day.. Thankfully you’re not missing much...
    The better part of this game Is easily its story mode where you play as Rogue, a genetically engineered soldier designed to fight in a war on this now toxic planet
    The idea of this game is a decently cool one..
    You have 2 soldiers attached to you in the form of chips that will talk to you and make the occasionally joke while you play through this games campaign, really giving the game some personality... but more importantly... they bring life to your equipment as one is attached to your gun and the other to your helmet…
    The helmet is used to hack doors..
    And your other chip does basically everything else... you can use them to create a hologram to distract enemies and snipe them out, or you can set down an infinite turret to distract enemies and actually kill them while you do some hacking…
    Really making the gameplay of this otherwise bland game feel alive and varied
    And you can craft new guns as they become available as you progress the story…
    This game is highly focused on crafting.. Though the crafting here is very light...
    Basically instead of ammo enemies will drop salvage…
    Salvage is what’s used to craft everything in the game from med packs, to ammo, weapons, and grenades… you get bonus salvage if you take enemies out stealthily.. Though good luck as their detection is ridiculous... and there are piles hidden around the map…
    if you’re running low on ammo you can spend a large amount refilling your clips or you can just swap weapons, and if all run out because you’re saving for a new upgrade, you can just switch to your pistol which has infinite ammo…
    though weapon switching in this game is painfully slow and this slow swapping can make some moments feel frustrating as you feel stuck in a death cycle trying to get your favorite weapon back out…
    speaking of slow..
    This entire game feels sluggish and clunky...
    and at times feel unresponsive when throwing grenades or using a medpack...
    leading to frustrating deaths in the heat of battle…
    And there a lot of them…
    As this game will throw annoying heat seeking bombs and turrets into the mix that can only be taken out with sniper rifles.. or finding a way to sneak behind
    The level design here is pretty uninspired, aside from one level I enjoyed towards the middle…
    it’s a lot of getting from point a to point b with the occasional climbing and the constant shooting in areas that hardly look different from one another…
    The scenery gets old fast, occasionally interrupted with some on rails shooting….
    Rogue Trooper isn’t really an interesting game…
    It’s the very definition of just okay...
    There’s weapon variety, but the game leaves the overall gameplay variety up to the player...
    if you don’t actively think outside of the box this is a just a very dull third person shooter with unresponsive controls that feel from the stone age
    I give Rogue Trooper Redux
    a 6/10    … Expand

    Rogue Trooper Redux doesn't fit the Switch. The gameplay is dated and boring. It's not very playable in handheld mode.

    Rogue Trooper Redux is for those with a distinct taste. I can't deny the problems found in its cover mechanics, and the visual upgrade isn't that grand. That being said, the hectic 13 missions remain a fun romp to get through. The campy story and amount of upgrades only elevate what the developers tried to pull off. Rogue Trooper requires a more aggressive gameplay style than I remember, but I can't really say that I'm bothered by it.

    The Wii version of Rogue Trooper had much better controls, the graphics fit the animations and is still the best way to play out the Quartz Zone Massacre. Rogue Trooper Redux on Switch is an unpolished mess with technical issues and looks horrible docked and in portable mode. The new model's rigs cause extensive clipping and makes character anatomy do all sorts bizarre contortions and twists that are just painful to look at. The limits of old hardware made the developers be creative with their modelling and consider more carefully how they would be rigged. All of that is thrown out the window in favour of technical advancements... not artistic advancements. While it is playable, expect a very sloppy version of what was already a run of the mill third-person shooter.
