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
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story mode of *Rogue Shift* consists of three missions, with players noting a mix of intriguing elements and a focus on fast-paced gameplay rather than strategic depth. While some appreciated the level design and secret areas, others found the narrative unengaging, leading to breaks in gameplay. Overall, the story mode offers a visually appealing experience but may not resonate with all players due to its twitchy shooter 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
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a high skill ceiling, offering satisfying gunplay and engaging mechanics that are relatively easy to learn. Players appreciate the fast-paced and chaotic nature of the game, along with its replay value, diverse enemies, and upgrade systems. However, there are urgent bugs that need addressing, particularly those that hinder early gameplay progression.

    • “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.”
  • graphics
    6 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 currently in early access.

    • “This game overall is amazing; the graphics, the physics, and the creatures are stunning.”
    • “The graphics are really nice.”
    • “The graphics are impressive and contribute significantly to the overall experience.”
    • “The only downside as of now is that there are no graphics settings (no low/medium/high), although that could change soon enough as it's just in early access.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's stability is commendable, with players reporting no issues related to joining multiplayer sessions. While a few minor glitches exist, they are not significant enough to disrupt gameplay.

    • “While it has a very high skill ceiling to even just get familiar with this game, it does have satisfying gunplay, interesting mechanics, and great replay value in general.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and annoying, particularly after an initial period of engagement. This sentiment suggests that the repetitive nature of grinding detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.
