Mechanics

Rogue Warrior uses the mechanics of first-person shooters with some tactical elements. Due to the nature of his mission, the hero should do his best to keep low profile. This means he often uses suppressed weapons and sneaks up to enemies in order to eliminate them quickly and quietly. The game’s landmark feature are brutal kill moves that are shown in third-person perspective animation.

On the orher hand, there are many open fire situations, in which the hero uses authentic fire weapons from the period – both American rifles and those found on enemies – and uses environmental covers in order to avoid enemy bullets. Missions are set in North Korean and Soviet military compounds and factories, so there is a lot of close quarter combat.

Game modes

Rogue Warrior’s main game mode is story-based single player campaign, which consists of a string of linear missions. There is also competitive multiplayer that offers several modes of gameplay for many players.

Technical aspects

Although Rogue Warrior for PC, PS3 and X360 was originally being developed with Unreal Engine 3, it was ultimately based on Rebellion’s in-house technology called Asura. The game’s protagonist, Richard Marcinko, was voiced by Mickey Rourke, an actor known from such movies like Sin City and The Wrestler.
