Rogue Trooper Redux Price and Release Window Revealed

Can't say I've heard of it.

Watching the video, the gameplay looks interesting, wished he wouldn't spoil everything right before it happened though... And why is everyone so blue? XD

Did someone tick off the blue man group?

The moment I saw the thumbnail I thought I saw a male, half-naked Widowmaker. 0.0

There's no reason why this can't be released alongside the last gen versions.

what is this a shooter that doesn't involve ink on this system? I'm confused.

O.K. who fed the Smurfs steroids?

@GoldenGamer88 LMBO!

I'm sorry but this looks really bland...no thanks.

unfortunately the Nintendo Switch edition is outlined as releasing "soon after" on the eShop.

lol

Played this back on the XBox original. It is actually a very fun shooter. Gears of War before Gears of War. Based on a comic book of the same name.

Nooooo! Oh well I can wait as long as it isn't a full year wait.

I never played the original version, so I will most probably be getting this one, as it looks fun to me.

@Kalmaro If you still have a Wii or a Wii U, then you can pick up the original for a few bucks. It's actually quite entertaining for a somewhat crude third person cover-based shooter, but it does the job, and then some. Story's good too. I can easily recommend this to anyone who even remotely likes shooters.

Looks like it could be fun, not a genre typically represented on Nintendo systems so I'm all for more variety. That said I don't see why it can't be out at the same time as the other systems. Anyone know if it will have co-op or multiplayer?

@ThanosReXXX I'm done with playing on my WiiU, but thanks for the info. I'll probably pick it up on Switch then. Splatoon is a great multi-player game and I'm sure hero mode will be good, but I still need my shooter fix on the go!

@Kalmaro You're welcome.

Zarjaz! Loved 2000AD.

This is going to be a pass for me. Story looks predictable, graphics looks dated and the price is way too high for that kind of quality.

No price premium for being on the Switch? Good job Rebellion!

great game not still have wii version so will hold off for a review first

@ThanosReXXX
I liked original too, def worth a play. Grenades are a bit awkward though, the only minor gripe.

@Meuz That's a stupid thing to say. You don't when they started working on the project, you don't know whether they could get their hands on a Nintendo Switch kit or not in a timely manner.

This kind of games usually sell poorly on Nintendo platforms so be grateful that this is coming to the Switch.

@heathenmagic True, that's also why I called it "a somewhat crude third person cover-based shooter", but I didn't want to go into too much detail, both to not spoil stuff and also to not list stuff that might probably not even be in there anymore, since the developer himself is saying that they've improved and tweaked quite a few things where gameplay is concerned, so grenade control might also have been improved.

And if you're playing with the grip or the pro controller, doing nunchuck throwing motions isn't even possible, so that's probably already an improvement.

@Robohock The original had multiplayer and local co-op, so no reason why this reboot shouldn't have that as well.

Here's a review of the Wii version:

EDIT:
The screenshots in the old review are also good for comparison's sake: they show that they've actually done quite a bit of work to bring this title up to modern standards.

And here's a gameplay trailer of the old version for an even better comparison:

Flop written all over it, the original was bad. Not much choice on switch for this kind of game so some will get a buzz, but most will be playing Splatoon and rightly so

My brother still has the Rogue Trooper Games Workshop board game from the 80's. Fun fact.

One of the best 3rd person shooters I've ever played, there is so many way's to use your weapons and gadgets during battle

Highly recommend to shooter fans

But why do I have to wait for my switch version!!??
