Originally released in the mid-noughties, Rogue Trooper is back and remastered in high definition for a new generation of tactical shooter fans.
Rogue Trooper s story takes place on a planet called Nu Earth, a hostile place where the Norts and Southers are at constant loggerheads in a futile conflict. Oh, the futility! It ll all end in tears, you ll see. Well, that may be the case, unless you take this fractured future-world by the scruff of its genetically-engineered neck by assuming the role of the game s titular figure and start to have a riot of your own.
Rogue Trooper is a Genetic Infantryman (GI) and the sole survivor of the brutal slaying of his regiment at the Quartz Zone Massacre. Rogue goes AWOL, on a mission to track down the traitorous general responsible for sending his brethren to its grisly demise. Luckily for him, Rogue's arsenal offers him a distinct advantage over his enemies in the guise of encoded bio-chips containing the digitised personalities of his fallen brothers in arms implanted in his gun (Gunnar), helmet (Helm) and backpack (Bagman). Each one s full military experience is at Rogue s disposal and therefore at the player's fingertips.
A thrilling mix of third-person shoot-em-up and stealth-based combat with multiple game paths, expansive battlegrounds and a selection of tactics and routes to take throughout the game, Rogue Trooper does the 2000AD veteran character proud alright.
