Rogue trooper redux9/21/2023 Unfortunately, the same praise can’t be lauded upon its sub-par gunplay. It’s a stellar remaster, showing that a shooter from over a decade ago can still hold its own in some regards. Character models are sharp and memorable while environments, despite archaic geometry, feel bleak and atmospheric as mortar fire exploded all around me. The entirety of Rogue Trooper has been lovingly refined in Redux. It’s a shame the AI is so brain-dead that it will often stumble into the oncoming fire anyway. One of my friends – now inside my rifle – could be left by an open door, keeping an eye out for reinforcements while simultaneously picking them off as a mobile turret. Despite your comrades not having a physical presence, they’ll still partake in silly banter and provide tips their souls reside in assault rifles, helmets and other parts of the usual military arsenal. This is one of the core ideas that helps Rogue Trooper Redux be something other than a generic third-person shooter. Rogue’s brethren are immediately wiped out, left with nothing but biochips that can be inserted directly into the player’s equipment for a range of shenanigans. Unfortunately, this doesn’t prepare you or your squadmates for the hell that waits upon Nu-Earth – the main playing field of Rogue Trooper Redux. Rogue is genetically superior, with his rock-hard abs, enhanced intelligence and an extreme proficiency with firearms. You play as Rogue, a super-soldier created with one purpose in mind: violence and all-out war. That aside, it’s still a uniquely charming third-person shooter, carried by its tongue-in-cheek narrative and quirky characters all heightened by a real sense of cheesy nostalgia for the 2000 AD universe. It’s certainly not perfect, hindered by unorthodox design decisions and repetitive environments that sadly show their age. Rebellion Games’ 2006 original for PS2, Xbox and PC has been fully remastered, complete with a new control scheme and a few neat online features. Rogue Trooper Redux is a flawed yet enjoyable trip down memory lane. Available on PS4 (version tested), Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC
