Deadzone Rogue

Deadzone: Rogue is a first-person sci-fi shooter with roguelike elements, created by Prophecy Games – the studio behind Tribes 3: Rivals and Starsiege: Deadzone. You wake up on the ISS-X spaceship, no memory in sight, just swarms of rogue machines waiting to take you down. Do you sneak through the corridors or go loud with plasma rifles blazing? Either way, survival is all that matters.

What is Deadzone: Rogue?

At its core, this game mixes fast-paced FPS action with roguelike progression. Each run feels different – new gear, new augments, and new ways to wipe out enemy bots. Whether you’re soloing or teaming up online with up to three players, every corridor is a test. Lesson learned: always carry a spare gun.

Gameplay and Combat

The action unfolds in first-person perspective. Expect hordes of enemy drones, robotic spiders, humanoid machines, and boss-level monstrosities. Choose your playstyle: go full chaos with grenades and rifles or use stealth, taking advantage of temporary invisibility after respawning. Flexibility matters. Need a challenge? You got it.

Key Features

• Over 30 weapons, from plasma cannons to sniper rifles
• Elemental mods – freeze, burn, shock, or void-blast enemies
• Procedural levels packed with robots and traps
• Solo or online co-op for up to 3 players
• Permanent upgrades mixed with roguelike resets
• Massive biomechanical bosses demanding reflex and aim

Progression and Upgrades

Each run grants temporary power-ups and rare loot. Die, and most progress resets – but not everything. Permanent upgrades stack up, making you deadlier over time. Want to focus on shields, melee damage, or elemental chaos? It’s your call. The game rewards experimentation, not just precision.

Story Elements

You’re an amnesiac soldier, stranded on a ship overrun by rogue AI. As you push deeper into the ISS-X, fragments of your past resurface. It’s not a deep novel, but the mystery works – enough to keep you guessing why you’re here and what the mission really is.

Final Thoughts

Deadzone: Rogue isn’t about cinematic cutscenes – it’s about sharp gunplay, constant tension, and unpredictable runs. One moment you’re torching drones with plasma fire, the next you’re tiptoeing past a swarm to save ammo. Whether alone or with friends, it’s a loop of action, failure, and that “just one more run” feeling. Simple as that.
