The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many noting that while it retains the essence of the original comic books and offers a nostalgic experience, it suffers from outdated mechanics and control issues, particularly on the Nintendo Switch. Players have pointed out problems with shooting mechanics, cover functionality, and AI behavior, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite these flaws, some still find the game engaging and visually appealing, making it a worthwhile revisit for fans.
“[stays true to the essence of the comic books in all the right ways, a harmonious mix of open-ended gameplay and arcade-like combat]”
“Some aged mechanics and a handful of minor bugs in animations and camera control can hamper the experience, but for the most part, Rogue Trooper Redux is a fascinating game to revisit.”
“[pretty game that brings back some memories of a simpler time for action games, pick up and go gameplay.]”
“Don't buy because of nostalgia - mechanics are outdated and it only has a graphics upgrade.”
“One of the main things that lets this game down is the shooting mechanics.”
“Fails to iron out the gameplay issues of the original; the story and visuals start to show their age the more you play.”
Rogue Trooper Redux Review
Age has slowed this old soldier down, despite some snazzy new upgrades to its core. The best and worst thing about Rogue Trooper Redux is that it plays exactly like a modernised PlayStation 2 shooter. It’s decent enough, but 2000 AD fan service aside, there’s little about it that stands out in a sea of other shooters that are ‘decent enough’.
