From $50 to $10: Iconic movie franchise shooter heavily discounted on Steam

If you enjoy the brutal, dystopian world of the RoboCop films, Rogue City is perfect for you. Set between RoboCop 2 and 3, the first-person shooter plunges players into a grim vision of Old Detroit, where crime and chaos reign. Playing as Alex Murphy, aka RoboCop, you are tasked with restoring order. But this time, the threat is greater than ever, as the powerful OCP corporation pursues its own plans for the city's future.

RoboCop: Rogue City combines intense combat with detective work. The iconic Auto-9 pistol, familiar from the films, is your main weapon, enabling dynamic combat with destructible environments and realistic enemy reactions. Beyond gunplay, RoboCop can wield enemy weapons, engage in melee combat or hurl objects like barrels and furniture as improvised projectiles. An RPG-style progression system allows players to upgrade his abilities and customize the Auto-9 for a more personalized experience.

Using his built-in scanner, RoboCop can analyze crime scenes, reconstruct events and interrogate suspects. Players can uncover hidden clues that unlock new dialogue options or alternative mission paths. Every decision impacts the story, whether to intimidate a suspect or give them a second chance is up to you.

Authentic atmosphere and brutal battles, but few new ideas

According to a review from PCGames, RoboCop: Rogue City successfully captures the atmosphere of the films, delivering plenty of nostalgic moments, from iconic locations to familiar soundtracks and characters. The game’s brutal combat and cynical humor also receive praise, with RoboCop’s dry one-liners and situational comedy adding to the experience. However, PCGames criticizes the game for lacking originality, as it closely follows the films without introducing many new ideas. The gameplay feels sluggish due to RoboCop’s clunky movement and the enemy AI can be inconsistent and at times unintentionally clumsy.

Despite its flaws, RoboCop: Rogue City has received largely positive reviews. On Metacritic, it holds a Metascore of 76 and a User Score of 8.1. On Steam, the game has amassed over 11,000 reviews, with 89% being positive. This could make Rogue City a great choice not only for RoboCop fans but also for FPS enthusiasts looking for a solid shooter experience.
