THE RTS…

Rogue Command is a single-player RTS that plays like the classics that defined the genre.  

Control your units, build your base, harvest resources, explore the map, defend positions and come up with a plan of attack. But now with every run the rules of the battlefield change and each battle is an opportunity to discover new ways to play. 

And when the action gets overwhelming, you can slow down time to 10% at any moment, allowing you to give orders with bullet-time precision.

…ROGUELITE

After each battle you choose new tools for the fights ahead. Reinforcing existing strengths or pushing your build into new directions: 

• Blueprints add a new building to your Engineer's construction database: Unit factories, defensive turrets, healing spires or super weapons, the nuts and bolts of your army.

• Upgrades modify your blueprints. Make units stronger. Or add new traits to make them part of an emerging synergy. Like adding burn damage to their attacks or letting them burst into skittering exploding spawnlings when they die. 

• Hacks are powerful tech-relics that modify the rules of the game. Adding a new facet to a status effect, making burning enemies flee or adding a healing effect to teleports.

Win or lose, each run you unlock new building blocks for your arsenal. Adding entries to the mysterious database of the gleefully malfunctioning Engineers across the galaxy. With hundreds of units, hacks and upgrades waiting to be built and tested in battle.

FIGHT THE WAY YOU WANT

Before each run you choose your:

• Engineer: Your presence on the map. Can call down buildings and control armies. Lose your Engineer, lose the run.

• Economy: Refinery and Harvester models determine the shape of your economy.

• Specialist: The foundation of your build and formidable presence in combat. Each modifies the rules of the battlefield. With unique Specialist Hacks pushing their traits into odds-bending extremes.

• Castle provides incredible defense and global artillery strikes.

• Incinerator covers the battlefield in smart fire, burning enemies and aiding allies. 

• Recycler summons hordes of Robo Zombos from the remnants of your fallen units making death a resource.

• Support Tank applies lifesaving buffs to your squads.

• Swarm Walker infects your enemies with Spider Spawn Eggs.

• Mantis feeds on its allies to gain unfathomable strength.

• Rush Beacons quickly establish map presence and mobility.

• Phase Walker teleports itself and its squad granting buffs and causing havoc.

NUMEROUS ENEMIES & ENDLESS BATTLEFIELDS 

The planet-devouring PCX (Planetary Core Extraction Corporation) - has spread across the galaxy. Only the occasional Engineer with a crystalline consciousness infection standing in their way.

Dozens of enemy variants fielding armies with more than 150 units and buildings of their own will keep you sweating over every decision and force you to adapt. No battlefield will be the same. And conditions can suddenly shift:  

Sunstorms disable all shields on friend or foe. Thunderstorms extinguish fires. Sandstorms diminish the range of attacks. A blessing or a curse? Depends on your build and your enemy. 

"JUST ONE MORE RUN..." - AGAIN AND AGAIN

A first win is only the start: 15 Ascensions with unique bosses provide escalating challenges for dozens or even hundreds of hours. Your command of the battlefield grows. Your Battle Archive fills out. You discover new combinations to obliterate enemies that crushed you before. Until you are ready to face the final challenge.

And if that is not enough, you can fight your way through infinitely scaling Heat Levels until you break the game or the game breaks you.
