About

"ROGUE SHIFT is a top-down shooter set on a treacherous planet, where you must battle hordes of enemies and survive harsh environments to unlock perks, gain abilities, and find weapons. Play with keyboard & mouse or as a twin-stick shooter using a controller, with three difficulty levels. Your dropship has crash-landed, and you must fight for survival against insanely intense battles while trying to reach the nearest outpost."

  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story mode of *Rogue Shift* consists of three missions, with the first mission being described as average and not particularly engaging for some players. While the game features well-designed levels and intriguing elements, it leans more towards fast-paced shooting rather than strategic gameplay, which may not appeal to all players. Overall, the narrative aspect seems to be overshadowed by the game's focus on action and gameplay mechanics.

    • “Really good lighting, cool weapons, neat upgrades, intriguing story, and lots of little secret areas.”
    • “Played the first chapter of 3 for the story mode.”
    • “What I played of the story mode didn't particularly grab me, so I took quite a hiatus before trying the second level.”
    • “Although I didn't get a chance to play the game in co-op as I planned, I did see that Rogue Shift had a three-mission 'story mode.' I finished the first mission and thought it was okay, but the game is much more of a twitchy top-down shooter than a slower and strategic one (the latter being my preferred style).”
    • “I could tell that developer Far-Flung Games spent a lot of time designing the levels for story mode, as there were many resources off the beaten path.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a high skill ceiling, offering satisfying gunplay and engaging mechanics that provide good replay value. While it is relatively easy to learn, players appreciate the intense and fast-paced action, though some bugs need urgent fixing. Overall, the game features a diverse array of enemies, weapons, and upgrades that keep the experience fresh and challenging.

    • “While it has a very high skill ceiling to even just get familiar with this game, it does have satisfying gunplay, interesting mechanics, and good replay value in general.”
    • “This game has some really interesting gameplay mechanics and is fairly easy to pick up and learn.”
    • “I think it boils down to having a good mixture of intense moments, fast gameplay (that's sometimes a bit chaotic but still fair), a high score board I'm trying to beat, and enough variation in terms of enemies, weapons, weapon upgrades, perks, and psionics (special abilities) that the game remains interesting.”
    • “Developers need to fix bugs urgently, at least those that block the passage of the game in the first minutes of gameplay.”
    • “It's like Synthetik, but without the terrible Gears of War reload mechanic and with more polish and content.”
    • “I say Diablo not because the game is similar gameplay-wise.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are highly praised for their quality, alongside impressive physics and creature designs. However, a notable drawback is the lack of adjustable graphics settings, which may be addressed in future updates as the game is still in early access.

    • “This game overall is amazing; the graphics, the physics, and the creatures are stunning.”
    • “The graphics are really nice.”
    • “Only downside as of now is that there's no graphics settings (no low/med/high), although that could change soon enough as it's just in early access.”
    • “The only downside as of now is that there are no graphics settings (no low/medium/high), although that could change soon enough since it's just early access.”
    • “The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish expected from a modern game.”
    • “Textures are low resolution, making the environments look bland and uninviting.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report that the game's stability is strong, with no significant joining glitches in cooperative play. While a few minor glitches exist, they do not detract from the overall gaming experience.

    • “There are still a few glitches to be discovered, but none of them are game-breaking.”
    • “Co-op is really good; there are no joining glitches at all.”
  • replayability

    The game offers high replayability due to its satisfying gunplay and engaging mechanics, despite having a steep learning curve that may challenge new players.

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and annoying after an initial period, leading to frustration rather than enjoyment.

    • “After that, it becomes tedious and annoying.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and lacks any real reward.”
    • “I found myself doing the same tasks over and over, which quickly became boring.”
