Rogue Trooper Redux

Originally released in 2006, this third-person shooter presents 2000AD’s genetic infantryman battling in the toxic climes of Nu-Earth. Taking players from the Quartz Zone Massacre – an infamous event from the comic’s pages, where Rogue’s fellow blue-skinned clone warriors are wiped out – through a weaving military conspiracy, it offers plenty of high points for fans of the source material, without proving alienating to newcomers. This new version also shows how far ahead of its time the game was. Rogue can set traps, hack computers and craft new weapons and ammo – common features now but less so in 2006, making this feel less dated than it otherwise might. The remastering quality is uneven, with the game clearly showing its PS2-era roots, but solid voice acting, competent action and a captivating story still make this worth a look.
