About
"Sub Rosa is a multiplayer first-person shooter focused on high-stakes business deals and high-speed car chases. In World Mode, corporations compete for power and money by controlling colored disks, allowing players to buy weapons and equipment. Round Mode follows a similar structure in a five-day work week format. This game is in extended Early Access, so research before purchasing."











- Unique gameplay that combines business deals with chaotic shootouts.
- Hilarious physics and player interactions create memorable moments.
- Great potential for fun, especially with friends or a dedicated group.
- Abandoned by the developer, with no significant updates in years.
- Toxic community filled with RDMers and mic spammers, making it hard for new players.
- High price point for an unfinished game with limited content and a dwindling player base.

172 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay of the game is characterized by a unique physics-driven system that offers a mix of fun and frustration, heavily reliant on community interaction and cooperation. While many players appreciate the innovative mechanics and potential for emergent gameplay, others criticize the steep learning curve, confusing controls, and a toxic player base that can detract from the experience. Overall, the game presents a blend of engaging concepts and significant flaws, making it a polarizing experience for players.
“With good gameplay of how guns fire with a learning curve to it, it's fun for simple random fun to be had for gags and jokes.”
“The gameplay loop itself is engaging with needing other players to organically complete the objectives set out and depending on the other team even if they might be against you.”
“The complete absurdity of the physics paired with the retro mechanics and style is top notch.”
“The gameplay fails to play out how the developers intended it to 90% of the time.”
“The basis of a great game is here, but the lack of life and half-baked mechanics really bog the game down from being even somewhat redeemable.”
“The client is barely functional, the controls are nonsensical, the features lack any meaningful purpose in the gameplay, the community is seemingly toxic to the point of ridiculousness, and of course, on top of that, it looks terrible.”
