Journalists from the German publication GameStar have shared their impressions of RoboCop Rogue City, a role-playing action game based on the movie “RoboCop”. The game, developed by Teyon studio, is the first to use the Unreal Engine 5.
RoboCop Rogue City utilizes two important elements of Unreal Engine 5: Lumen Global Lighting and Nanite Dynamic Detailing System. These features enhance the realism of the game world and are highly valued by developers.
Unlike other games that use filters to create an 80s movie atmosphere, RoboCop Rogue City employs post-processing effects to capture the original “RoboCop” film’s atmosphere. The developers aimed to create a sense of retro while maintaining a clear and crisp image.
The game does not include a “New Game Plus” mode, and the developers faced challenges in adapting the gameplay to prevent RoboCop from running. However, the game will feature unique enemies with different weapons, posing a real challenge to RoboCop. Although he is strong, he is not indestructible, as seen in the special forces attack in the first RoboCop film.
The game incorporates realistic weapon recoil, blood splatter effects, and a variety of explosive objects. In first-person mode, the hero moves slowly, absorbing blows and healing with scattered repair modules. The hero can also engage in hand-to-hand combat, delivering deadly blows and throwing objects like chairs, televisions, and motorcycles.
Every aspect of the game, from sound effects to the additional scanning display in combat, pays homage to the original film. Players can explore the streets of Detroit between battles and story missions, completing side missions and earning experience points to develop useful skills.
RoboCop: Rogue City’s demo version impressed the journalists, surpassing 90% of modern shooters. However, they noted that the game occasionally feels like a relic of the past. Nevertheless, it is considered a love letter to fans of the 1987 film, offering more than just shooting.
RoboCop: Rogue City is set to be released in September 2023, with the exact release date yet to be announced.
