About the Game

INTRODUCTION


ROGUE SHIFT is a high-intensity top-down shooter, set on a harsh planet that will test your will to survive. To stay alive, you will pit yourself against hordes of relentless enemies in an unforgiving, hostile environment.

Level up, unlock perks, gain psionic abilities and find weapons to become progressively more powerful as you attempt to stay one step ahead of the enemy.

ROGUE SHIFT can be played using a keyboard & mouse, or as a twin-stick shooter using any compatible controller (XBox, PlayStation or generic equivalents).

There are three difficulty levels to suit any skill level: CASUAL, HARD and BRUTAL.

STORY

When your dropship is shot down by supposedly friendly defences, you find yourself isolated. Dangerous creatures lurk, and hazardous environments separate you from the nearest outpost. Before you can even think about finding answers, your immediate concern is just to survive the first five minutes.

  • Explore, loot and shop to build up your arsenal of psionics (powers) and weapons.
