#ROGUE TROOPER (VIDEO GAME) HOW TO#

On top of the healthy set of tools Rogue can employ against the Norts, levels have environmental tactics that can be triggered to add further variety. Elsewhere, a hologram double is a fun way to mess around with the game's AI. Mines can be strategically placed or dropped on the fly to detonate pursuing attackers. An automated turret can be deployed to distract enemies while you flank them.

There's enough gear meted out to bolster the core weapon modes. You can snipe the laser targeting of a pillbox for an easy kill, but a mortar does the trick just as well. Certain enemy types are vulnerable to one flavor of approach, but crucially not restricted to the same tactic, either. Gunnar has a sniper mode that can be used to pick off sentries from afar, and most areas are segmented by trenches or conveniently placed scenery to sneak around, allowing you to take enemies down silently. Guns blazing is a viable option (although higher difficulties are pretty unforgiving), but sneaking can be a bit more satisfying.

Missions are linear affairs that play out on largely expansive maps, with the choice of how to traverse objectives left largely to the player.

Bland battlefields and drab city blocks are crisply rendered on new machines, but nothing really stands out aside from the distinctive blue skin of Rogue and his fellow soldiers.ДЇortunately, itвЂ™s the combat mechanics that distinguish this 2006 game, even from a lot of its modern peers. The visuals are fine, even if the battle-ravaged dystopian setting doesnвЂ™t lend itself to exciting design.
