Rogue Trooper Redux Reviews
Fans of the original game and the comic book series will have a lot of fun. There's no denying the impact that Rogue Trooper has had on the modern shooter; the game just didn't leave me with a great impression.
Rogue Trooper Redux is an example of why remasters are not always a good idea.
Rogue Trooper was an anonymous third person shooter back in 2006 and it still is today. Even if the game is visually good, especially compared to the original release, the game really shows its age gameplay-wise.

Rogue Trooper: Redux is a fine piece of memorabilia of past games. It's perfect for someone willing to remember the old days but it's feels, now, as a arcaic, rather edgy kind of game.

Rogue Trooper Redux is a fun game, but after plowing through the campaign I'm left wondering why it exists. Why re-release a game that's perfectly adequate but doesn't do anything particularly noteworthy or special? What's even more puzzling is that it ends on a cliffhanger. Considering there has never been a sequel, I would have rather have seen how Rogue's next chapter played out than tread down a well-worn path once more.
Rogue Trooper Redux Polishes Its War, But Keeps Some Baggage
Rogue Trooper Redux is a nice throwback to an era that’s long since passed, but despite its updates, is still held back by the limitations of the original design. Though, I can’t discredit the mechanics and systems throughout the campaign, and the updates done to bring it to the modern era. It does not look like a PS2 game by any means. If you haven’t played it before, it is worth seeing the innovations and mechanics that this carved a path for others to follow. Now, I would rather have seen a sequel, but I think the sales of this are likely to justify whether that cliffhanger ending is worth following up on.
If you like to go solo there's definitely fun to be had with Rogue Trooper Redux. It's a time-capsule dressed up real pretty, and sometimes it's nice to take a look back and see how far you've come
Rogue Trooper Redux is an ok game. It has some interesting ideas with its mechanics, and while the story was bland, I was never bored with it.
Underneath its flaws, Rogue Trooper Redux is good, old-fashioned fun.
Rogue Trooper Redux is a fun little curio. If you're after a solid, old-school "blast from the past" style shooter, you could do far worse.
An experience that should have stayed in its era, Rogue Trooper's outdated design earnestly fails to justify a remaster when compared with modern-day gameplay evolutions.
Rogue Trooper Redux is showing its age but this Trooper certainly deserves a second tour of duty. The FingerGuns Review;
The Wii version of Rogue Trooper had much better controls, the graphics fit the animations and is still the best way to play out the Quartz Zone Massacre. Rogue Trooper Redux on Switch is an unpolished mess with technical issues and looks horrible docked and in portable mode. The new model's rigs cause extensive clipping and makes character anatomy do all sorts bizarre contortions and twists that are just painful to look at. The limits of old hardware made the developers be creative with their modelling and consider more carefully how they would be rigged. All of that is thrown out the window in favour of technical advancements... not artistic advancements. While it is playable, expect a very sloppy version of what was already a run of the mill third-person shooter.
When all of the parts are added together, it becomes apparent that Rogue Trooper Redux doesn't quite meet the standards of modern day gaming.
Overall Rogue Trooper: Redux is an alright package, it presents the game in a way that's satisfactory for the current time.
"This Redux was really just one of the least-needed things of the year, or decade even. The updated graphics are hardly an update, and the dated, clunky gameplay is just not fun to experience anymore."
It's hard to say what the developer was thinking releasing the most plain remaster possible in this price. An archaic title that won't make you miss „good old times”.

Rogue Trooper: Redux is the return of the classic game based on its comic. The necessary graphic improvements or the sound section are not as good as the gameplay that although very effective, feels old-fashioned. A very good title for the fan.

Every time you copy something it becomes less like the original.
