Simply speaking, worth it.Just worth it. It's fun and it actually had decent enough keyboard control, though I advice playing on the controler.

Rogue Trader is a strange beast of a game, because it captures a spirit of genuinely repulsive setting that is Warhammer 40K. It's probably one of the rawest, most unfiltered experiences of the sheer madness of the Imperium you can play right now. The game sets you against the horrid travesty of humanity that is the Imperium of Man and fully expects you to play into the role of one of the people born there.

Narratively, it's an awesome RPG that truly lets you feel both the thrill of being a ruthless space conquistador and genuinely makes you question your own actions due to how over the top evil and delusional the Imperium can be. Playing this game is narratively rewarding but genuinely harrowing at times. Exactly what I expect from a WH40K game.

Some setting highlights include: being able to smite opponents via power of concentrated hatred and xenophobia, guy managing to convince a spaceport loading crane to kill itself fighting the enemies, being able to join the deathcult that’s still an accepted part of the Imperium’s main religion, randomly stealing man’s identity to deal with inheritance dispute about pirate treasure, very liberal usage of lobotomy for slave labour and of course the utter insanity of the casual cannibalism among lower strata of the empire.

The cast of the companions works great both from the mechanical and narrative standpoint. The skill check mechanic allowing your companions to pass them for you really makes you feel like an adventurer traveling with his entourage. I also like their observations about the world around, random bits of mutual interaction and how they all paint the setting. They really make the game feel alive. Shame that the romance is rather clunky compared to their usual interactions. Gamewise, they also have good enough initial builds so you don't have to deny yourself using your favourite teammate due to their low viability.

If I were to point out flaws of the game, I'd say it's the lack of indicators which questions end the dialogue on the narrative side and the fact that the game mechanics are very focused on buff and debuff stacking to a degree that is often rather unintuitive. Basically, you have to enjoy character building and looking for references to enjoy this game. Still, the extensive use of tooltips and rather forgiving tactical hologram mechanics genuinely improve the player's quality of life.

The game could really use an official character builder/skill calculator and maybe a test mode for trying out combos without committing.

In nutshell, this is a great game if you want to play a mechanically crunchy, narrative heavy game about being a fledgling space conqueror in a genuinely monstrous, nightmarish world.

Bot issue got better. Game is cool again.

Pretty cool for a clicker game. It doesn't even feel like an early access game as it is. Having the organic ways of earning the premium currency is a pleasant addition.

This is modern art. It gave me feels that I need to disgest.

Great platformer!

Pure essence of crazy colony builder, but with actual graphics, mod support and in space!

The game was to bugged to work. Seriously, it didn't start propedly and kept getting stuck on the endless loading screens (by endless I mean that they kept loading after 100% showing stuff like 110% loaded).
