After being on over 150,000 wishlists Deadzone: Rogue has just landed on Steam early access, and it has been worth the wait.
Based on the ship ISS-X, the game sees you awaken with no memory of who you are. But what you do know is that a load of rogue machines are headed your way, and they aren’t out to just have a chat.
So you have to tool up and take them on, and if there’s one thing Deadzone: Rogue does well - it’s combat.
Lock and Load
Everything in Deadzone: Rogue is all geared towards creating epic and chaotic firefights, and the game achieves its goal in that regard. And then some.
There’s a huge range of enemies you’ll face, and each one offers up a very different challenge for you to solve.
Not that death is as frustrating in traditional FPS games though. Being a roguelite every time you bite the dust offers a chance to improve your weaponry.
Tool Up
And your arsenal is more than impressive, with over 30 guns to work with, with each one having various upgrades you can unlock.
Every type of player is catered to as well, with more tactical sniper rifles available alongside crowd clearing shotguns. Each gun packs a punch and is massive fun to use and upgrade - we’re eagerly working our way through trying each one.
The combat fundamentals are so much fun trying out every piece of equipment is never a chore either.
What Are You Waiting For?
There is a range of difficulty modes to choose from, and up to three-player co-op is supported. This game truly sings when played with friends, too.
This early access build has two chapters, with more promised in the near future. We’d get involved if we were you - the game can be found on Steam and Epic Games, with an official Discord channel you can get involved in as well.
