ROGUE SHIFT

[i] My Experience [/i] Although I'm admittedly not a big roguelike/roguelite fan, I picked up [b]Rogue Shift[/b] to play with a co-op partner that had limited time. I felt that we could do runs from time to time without him feeling the pressure of completing a long campaign. Unfortunately, we were never actually able to get started. We were able to join each other's game, but once in the guest player was unable to move. Although I didn't get a chance to play the game in co-op as I planned, I did see that [b]Rogue Shift[/b] had a three-mission "story mode." I finished the first mission and thought it was OK, but the game is much more of a twitchy top-down shooter than a slower and strategic one (the latter being my preferred style). At certain points during the mission an enemy wave will begin, and enemies will begin pouring in from all directions. These moments are usually quite frantic, requiring liberal use of dashes and shifts to get away from enemies when the player becomes surrounded. I could tell that developer Far-Flung Games spent a lot of time designing the levels for story mode, as there were many resources off the beaten path. However, with the lack of a map and th…

Played the first chapter of 3 for the story mode. Has 2 other wave modes that I only briefly tested 1. One is mode that looks like a standard wave mode (didn't play this) and the other is a wave mode where it moves you to different zones to fight each wave. Game played alright but ammo is limited besides your base pistol and the actual amount of content here seems really limited. The ammo limit is generous but the screenshots for the game hide the UI. There's also a limited inventory management part of the game where you only have so much space to pick up items. I played with a controller and it worked alright but the aiming with the right stick kind of annoyed me because it kind of lags behind your input to try and simulate having your character turn to face the direction. Overall, seems to be less action oriented than what the videos lead me to believe it'd be like and I don't think it'd be fun for coop (or fun for about an hour max) which is why I bought it.

Really enjoy top-down shooters with co-op and this scratches that itch! Don't let the bugs get you! Pro tip, shoot the barrels!

you will eventually figure out a way to make it to were it doesnt force me to reconnect to my friends game after every game right? cause tthats kinda annoying games great so far though

Game is good. Play it on Brutal, lots of replay value. Wish there were more people on multiplayer, hit me up if you want to play together.
