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 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
