Rogue System

⠀

EDIT: ALLIANCE SPACE GUARD, LOOK IT UP NOW AND PRAY WITH ME Tragically abandoned. I won't comment on the reasons, but I will say it sucks when your worst predictions are realized; it's games like this that have made me wary of projects that are run by lone developers. I'd argue this shouldn't even be on the storefront anymore, but steam isn't about to start following its own rules now.

Store says it was released in 2022. In fact, it was abandoned back in 2018. No development, no real content, which is a shame because it was brilliant for what it is, but taken into account that it was sole developer very focused on technical side, there was no much hope for transforming it into an interesting and content-rich game on the first place. While there's nothing bad to say about the game itself, I advise you not to buy it. Especially with some potentially unethical price tricks this game went through recently.

It is one of my biggest heartaches that this game will never be finished. The promise shown in what was completed is astounding. It is the closest I'll ever come to being in space.

It's awesome, I wish the dev good health both physical and mental, though I also wish they'd pass on development to someone who cares about this project.

A sad development story, but a game idea still worth exploring

Abandoned and incomplete. It had great potential but really should be marked free or pulled from store. You'll be best spending your money elsewhere

For once, I wish there was a "Well yes but actually no" button. From information I've gathered, the only developer of Rogue System suffered a traumatic brain injury about five years ago. Ever since then, development of RS has been entirely ceased. The game is, as I saw one person put it (and I may be paraphrasing this) the DCS of spaceflight sims. Unfortunately, it'll never see another update as far as I know, which is very saddening, because the ship's systems are VERY well simulated. There's others that have tried to fill in the gap such as Alliance Space Guard, Rogue System Reboot, and a few others I can only assume exist that I haven't seen yet.. but they're not out yet. So.. the best we can do is sit back and wait. TLDR: Buy it if you want to try it. But don't expect the developer to come back. Hope for the best, but expect the worst.

Obviously, this project is abandonned so don't buy it. However, it was the beginning of a great game, far ahead of it's time, the dev should make the code open source so someone else can pick up the torch and make something better out of this. However, it's more likely than not that the dev just gave up and doesn't care about the game anymore, and just wants to pocket whatever trifles this project still brings in.

The devs have abandoned this game, it is unfortunate. But its very scummy that while its abandoned its listed as 15 dollars, and the dev was "kind enough" to keep putting it on sale, but not update it. Don't sell it if you're not going to update it, make it free or de-list it. This is very scummy.
