Rogue Command News

With our first update we have reworked the Drop system in the game.
Drops are now usable once per level by default.
They will be greyed out after use, as shown in the GIF below.




Some of the extremely powerful ones will remain as before and be removed after you have used them. These now have the "Consumable" tag in their description.


We hope to have a very regular update schedule and can not wait to polish the frak out of the game alongside all of you throughout Early Access!

After a bit over 5 years of hard work and hard lessons our first game is finally out.

And the incredible reaction has been so amazing to see.
It really seems to "click" for people who enjoy the concept.

With over 100 Reviews we are sitting above 95% positive at the time of writing this.
Some of the quotes we read in there really really moved us and we can not wait to make the game even better throughout Early Access.



We are very aware of the shortcomings the game still has, especially with tutorials and onboarding and some occasional awkwardness with the AI. And we are looking forward to getting rid of those weaknesses as well as building on the current strengths of the game.

Saying goodbye to our demo!

The Rogue Command Demo will be taken offline tomorrow - Nov 15th.

After being an amazing tool for us to improve the game, we will take down the demo for Rogue Command.

The main reason is that as a two man team we are just not able to update it often enough without pulling focus away from the main game. At least not with the current setup.

That means we get reports for bugs that are long fixed or feedback towards the balance that is already completely different.

We see a lot of value in people being able to try the game before buying it, so we might find a better way to do this later. But no promises.

Thanks for playing and we hope to see you playing Rogue Command on Monday the 18th.

n upcoming indie RTS will take the classic formula of a base-builder and slap you with a roguelike twist. Rogue Command, from first time developer feneq, sends you on a classic roguelike run of linked RTS skirmish matches and serves up random choices of units and upgrades after each one that you can use to cobble together a new build order of units to win the next fight. There's a demo out now and it's set to release into early access on November 18...
