Speaking of which, the crux of the gameplay lies within the cover/shoot mentality. You can’t take either with you, but they do offer up more choices than just simple point/shoot. You will find flack guns early on, to take down planes, and stationery machine guns to take down a multitude of enemies quickly.
The variety of weapons and stationary guns you get to interact with make this experience a little bit deeper than it should be. Much like those games, you also move through a variety of terrain to take down enemies and different enemies that are somewhat creative.īeyond that gameplay, the game has a decent variety of weapons to choose from, with the sniper rifle being my favorite, as well as some mix-match material to help make the gameplay a little bit more interesting. It certainly harkens back to simpler times for action titles, when the Ikari Warriors and Bionic Commando ruled the earth, and the biggest worries were not forgetting to pick up upgrades to make the experience more powerful. Again, it’s a remedial form of gameplay that doesn’t take much effort or thought to complete, which is sometimes a good thing in the action genre. You play as one of the blue troopers storming enemy bases and pretty much killing everything you possibly can along the way. The core gameplay in Rogue Troopers Redux is simple - point/shoot/progress (PSP). Folks, you would have to be one of those gamers to appreciate what TickTock Games has done in 2017 with the title in Rogue Troopers Redux, a remastering of sorts. This is an aspect carried over into the game.Ĭertainly an interesting past and definitely popular enough for the comic to be translated into video game form by U.K.-based developer Rebellion, then brought back recently by developer TickTock Games to give everyone who loved the original game a good dose of nostalgia. The chips then make whatever object they’re embedded in a talking masterpiece of fun.
In addition, when one trooper goes down, their chips (located in the back of their necks) are pulled and put into weaponry and any other electronic gadget that will help them continue living on. They are solely bred to fight in wars against any type of enemy and in any location. The story revolves genetically created soldiers with an immunity against every type of environmental situation. Rogue Troopers sprung from a 1981 British comic book by the same name and with some relation to Judge Dredd (haven’t had the chance to do more research to find out how/why). To make you (and me) informed, let’s dig into the history. This is all from the surface and from an uninformed view in regards to the history of the characters/story/title. Without knowing the history, the game looked like it was pulled from a 10-year old’s imagination and put together with terrible dialogue and brutish warmongering driving the comic book-like story. I never played this game back when Rebellion developed it and Eidos Interactive published it on the PlayStation 2/Xbox in 2006.
