One day Owlcat will make an RPG that's perfect out of the box, but 3 years after launch, it's time to get disgustingly into Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader
I love builds.
Owlcat, known for their ambitious RPGs, is still struggling with smooth launches. Their latest title, Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, received a 59% from PCG's Jody Macgregor when it launched in December 2023. The game's complex system, with hit points called wounds, left players feeling frustrated. Despite initial skepticism, the author decided to give Rogue Trader another chance after the Infinite Museion DLC release.
After investing 30 hours, the author found joy in character building and control of companions, particularly the Navy Officer Warrior Arch Militant. The author's customization of the build and the thrilling combat resulted in a satisfying victory against a powerful Chaos Space Marine. The turn-based combat and buildcrafting mechanics give Rogue Trader its unique appeal.
The author is optimistic about upcoming RPG from Owlcat, hoping Dark Heresy will match its quality from the start.
