Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

This game is so good. It gets you immersed in the Dark Grim universe. Gameplay is great and the skills and RPG elements are excellent.

the amount of content for a wh fan is insane.

Holy ♥♥♥♥, what a monumental waste of time. The game falls of a fkn cliff after the 2nd chapter, and its all downhill from there. Littered with bugs and finished by donkeys, what a shame.

[h1] If you want to get into 40k - this is the place [/h1] Rogue Trader, on top of being a great crpg in it's own right, is also one of the greatest entry points to the broader Universe of WH40k. Unlike other greats the franchise has to offer, there's a greater focus on the lore or the "fluff" of the setting. While strategies like Mechanicus or Dawn of War give some information about the factions they present us with, to establish the motivations and their basic doctrines, and action games like Space Marine focus on telling a self-contained story, Rogue Trader dives deeply into several factions and dogmas present across the Imperium, across a long narrative experience. Outside of the dive into the lore from a new perspective, as a Rogue Trader, instead of the usual space marine/mechanicus shenanigans, the game introduces characters from all works of life, from agents of the Mechanicus, to the crew of a voidship, to even aliens, each having an impact on the story and the wider world in their personal quests. The mechanics are easy enough to grasp. Unless you venture into the game at the highest difficulty, you [b]will[/b] experience a great and satisfying growth in power and aptitude (and will most likely end up with some overpowered characters). If you want to dive deeper into the system, that's also an option - the game presents you with a multitude of combinations of skills, classes and abilities, as well as hundreds of different weapons, armors and miscelaneous items to synergise with them. The music is well-crafted, from hymns blaring within official Imperium institutions and catherdrals, to unnerving ambient sounds of abandoned planets and the bowels of the ship. Voice acting is generally great, with one caveat - only most "important" conversations with prominent characters are fully voice acted. The graphics are decent enough and the environments and backgrounds are generally well-made. There's care put even into creatures that make an appearance once or twice during the entire 60-or-so hour game. There are bugs and glitches, but, in my expierience, they are relatively small and adressed by patches. At the point of writing this review, DLC3 has released, and the initial problems plaguing the game are mostly gone, and those that are not gone are mostly fixable by reloading a recent save or turning the game off and on again. Every DLC so far is worth it's price, providing about 6-12 hours of additional content (for the initial playtrough), as well as new party members, encounters, classes items and mechanics to spice things up, woven into the original story very well. In conclusion - Rogue Trader is a great game if you know a little bit of the lore and want to get deeper into it, or if you just want a unique and fun crpg to play. If you're unsure - the base game is enough to have good fun in before diving into the story DLCs.

Классный отыгрыш, но буквосодержащий сюжет и отказывающаяся быть удобной, и понятной прокачка, оставляют желать лучшего

ough good game

very good

Probably the best turn based RPG i have played. Deep atmosphere, storyline and skill tree. Sure, like every game there are some cons, but that wouldn't keep me from replaying the game.

Fun game. Took a while for me to get into it though. It felt like a slog at the start and started to feel more fun as I continued playing. I enjoy story games.
