  • Rogue System offers a unique and highly detailed simulation experience, often compared to DCS in space, making it a standout in the space sim genre.
  • The game has great potential, with a complex system of ship operations that can provide a rewarding experience for players who enjoy learning and mastering intricate mechanics.
  • Despite its current state as an unfinished project, many players appreciate the immersive atmosphere and the developer's dedication to creating a realistic space flight experience.
  • The game has been abandoned by the developer due to personal circumstances, leaving it incomplete and with little hope for future updates or content.
  • Many players have expressed frustration over the lack of guidance and the steep learning curve, making it difficult to enjoy the game without extensive prior knowledge of space flight mechanics.
  • There are concerns about the ethical implications of the game still being sold despite its abandonment, with calls for it to be made free or removed from sale altogether.
  • story
    58 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is currently minimal, primarily consisting of a few tutorials and a single challenging mission, with most gameplay revolving around a sandbox mode. While there are promises of a more developed campaign and additional content in the future, the game is still in early access and lacks substantial narrative depth or mission variety at this stage. Players may find the mechanics engaging, but those seeking a rich story or extensive missions will likely be disappointed for now.

    • “Think of it like submarines in space; given time, this can evolve to become a compelling, absorbing, and comprehensive space game with a massive variety of missions and things to do.”
    • “We get some basic tutorials, a test mission to save a space station from uncontrolled deorbiting, and a free flight scenario where we play with the ship in a single star system.”
    • “There's supposed to be a whole campaign where you fly combat missions - you know, an actual video game - but that isn't there yet, and development seems to be dead.”
    • “As it stands, there are few missions to participate in, with a sandbox 'fly around and do whatever' being most of the story for now.”
    • “Not a lot of content yet if you're looking for story and missions.”
  • gameplay
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this space simulator is heavily focused on realistic orbital mechanics and detailed ship systems, appealing primarily to players who enjoy technical learning rather than traditional gameplay. Currently in early access, it offers limited content with only a single ship and one mission, leaving many players craving more features and gameplay elements. While the mechanics are praised for their depth and accuracy, those seeking a more conventional gaming experience may want to wait for further development.

    • “The mechanics and physics are sound, and even the propulsion systems are based on actual next-gen ideas.”
    • “Very realistic, with proper orbital mechanics and a very detailed ship (each button does - or will do - something).”
    • “He goes the whole way--what can only be described as the hardcore way--ship systems with actual functionality, interactions and dependencies, in space that is correctly simulated with actual full newtonian flight and orbital mechanics.”
    • “It is darn cool if you like learning and studying technical details of the flight operations, but does not have much gameplay.”
    • “The novelty wears off after an hour or two, so I can only recommend it if you have a little extra spending money and want to explore some very nerdy gameplay ideas.”
    • “If you prefer gameplay, I'd wait a few more years/months as there is not too much to do despite some missions.”
  • graphics
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their impressive detail and accuracy, contributing to a strong sense of immersion while navigating a vast universe.

Overall, the visuals are considered quite good, enhancing the overall gaming experience.

    • “The graphics look quite good, and the performance is good too.”
    • “There might be games/simulations with better graphical quality or more content as of today, but I never felt that immersed, operating a tiny ship in a large universe, as in this simulation.”
    • “Love the control panel look; I find the space view graphics to be extremely good.”
    • “[u] If you have an Intel video/graphics card, don't bother trying to run the game or complaining when it doesn't.”
    • “There might be games/simulations with better graphical quality or more content as of today, but I never felt that immersed and that alone, operating a tiny ship in a large universe, as in this simulation.”
    • “Perhaps docking with the ISS, traveling to Mars to view real-world visuals, etc.”
  • atmosphere
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its uniqueness and immersive quality, effectively transporting players into a detailed simulation of space.

The transparent communication from the developers further enhances the appreciation for the game's atmospheric depth.

    • “The atmosphere the game evokes is perfect.”
    • “It absolutely manages to transport a very special atmosphere, a feeling of being in space, handling some complex systems.”
    • “Great potential, very immersive atmosphere, detailed simulation!”
    • “It absolutely manages to transport a very special atmosphere, a feeling of being in space, handling some complex system.”
  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, being described as a highly unoptimized alpha version with poor performance and lacking substantial content. While it may appeal to fans of flight simulators and science fiction, it is not fully playable or polished, limiting the overall experience.

    • “Very poor performance.”
    • “The publisher has opted to continue selling this game even though it's a highly unoptimized alpha with no content.”
    • “If you like flight simulators and science fiction, it can be wonderful, though note that it's not optimized as well as a completed game, and it isn't really playable to an end - though you can learn to operate the fox, you can't do much with that knowledge.”
