2000ADs adaptation of The Smurfs is both brutal and thought provoking, Rebellion with this game has managed to capture the spirit and essence of the comic, and allow you to truly experience the horrors of being a Smurf fighting for Nu-Earth.

Can't believe how much I enjoyed this game, I thought that the nostalgia made me remember this game being good but I'm happy to say that even now it was a blast to play. Strongly recommend.

I never played this game before, I found out about it in 2025, and honestly, I am surprised and amazed. Very good feeling playing this, the controls are smooth, the animations serve their purpose and look cool. This game feels like it was ahead of it's time gameplay-wise. I didn't feel like I was playing an "old game" at all, the shooting is smooth, headshots and precision shots feel good, the weapons and …

Rogue Trooper, developed and published by Rebellion, is a third-person tactical shooter set in the gritty, war-torn universe of the classic British 2000 AD comic series of the same name. Originally released in 2006 and later remastered as Rogue Trooper Redux, the game brings to life the violent struggle on Nu-Earth—a chemically ravaged planet where genetically-engineered soldiers fight a never-ending war. The title …

Players who liked Rogue Trooper talk about great adaptation of the 2000AD comic; those who didn't talk about game-breaking bug at a key mission. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Rogue Trooper and Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre received average to positive reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. The Times gave it a score of four stars out of five and called it "a third-person shooter with smooth, detailed graphics, and a learning curve set so beautifully that even non-shooter fans should love it." The A.V. Club gave it a B and said that it "doesn't approach the inventiveness of a great budget TPS like last year's Raze's Hell, but it's priced to move." However, The Sydney Morning Herald gave it a score of three stars out of five and said, "Where Rogue Trooper rescues itself from mediocrity ... is in the way it utilises…

Rogue was one of my favourite comics as a kid, so getting to work on the film was a dream job. Painted to mark the film’s premiere at Annecy this week.

positive · AI labelView post →@manmademoon.bsky.social let me know if you fancy a game of Rogue Trooper some time!
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes. Rebellion, on top of being a game developer, owns and publishes 2000 AD, the comic Rogue Trooper is from (as well as Judge Dredd and many others). So now they are a game studio, a comic publisher, and a film production company. They actually made a Rogue Trooper video game back on the PS2!
neutral · AI labelView post →Incredibly addictive and fun game. Playing as a super badass Genetic Infantryman with funny comrades and a story that will keep your attention hooked. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite liked Rogue Trooper! Genuinely funny film. The visual style looks fine, but is so close to video game cutscenes that the action disengaged my attention somewhat (had this with Predator Badlands, too). Made me intrigued about its goofy British sci-fi universe which seems like loads of fun.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game 'Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader', would get the pre-fix added, in part as a link to Warhammer & also to distance from ‘Rogue Trooper’ - 2000AD character that GW had licenced & was producing board game titles with its name. For example.... WD 87’s Awesome Lies column from March 1986
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw a lot of reviews that had a negative because multiplayer was not very good and the graphics were not a beautiful as those of today For those who appreciate a single-player campaign and do not particularly for multiplayer, this is a game for you. This video game is actually based on a comic book series (maybe still running, not certain). This game features a resource collection method, which you will need to use so that you can purchase upgrades and get bullets, you do not pick up bullets…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is what happens when you push the Blue Man Group too far. Rogue Trooper is a third person shooter developed by Rebellion and published by Eidos. You play as Rogue, a Genetic Infantryman or G.I. Clone created by the Souther army to do battle with the evil Norts for control of Nu Earth. G.I. Are cool because they're blue and all look the same. Oh also they can breath the air on Nu Earth. The G.I. Army is dropped in the Quarts Zone in their first mission to take territory from the Norts,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: A decent little game and a real classic, worth a buy - especially if on sale. FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN THE GAME BECAUSE THE REMASTER IS COMING OUT SOON: If you have never played the game before, I would suggest waiting and saving your money for the remaster as the story/gameplay will be virtually identical. Rebellion has said that they will improve upon a few of the game's mechanics and update the graphics for the remaster. I am giving this game a thumps up and recommending that those…

negative · AI labelView post →Really enjoyed my time playing Rogue Trooper, I was a big fan of 2000AD comics and loved reading Rogue's stories and this game put me right at the heart of the story. Great gameplay and a decent story. For the stuttering issues people have been experiencing, I found putting the game on an NVMe drive stopped the stuttering for me, not sure why. Didn't need to run it in any modes to help... Food for thought if you have an NVMe in your system. If you're a fan of Rogue Trooper or just like a…

The graphics are as good as they possibly can be, with the game supporting up to and including 1080p 144fps (I don't know about higher than that), the only drawback being the cutscenes which look blurry, but that's to be expected. The animations are small, but add to the feel of everything you do, making all the actions you perform satisfying in their own way. You can…

neutral · AI labelView post →I am so looking forward to Rogue Trooper. Yet this stuff about Mute makes me wonder, is there enough to maybe kick off development of a videogame set in the Mooniverse's Berlin (or just that world in general)? Because not only would that be awesome, I would love to play such a game.

I really liked the story, characters and world of the game, really dug the vibe, the graphics and look of the game can be quite good too, with a pretty decent atmosphere in some parts. The combat is pretty solid and enjoyable, and the stealth mechanics are really fun too, with some awesome takedown animations.…

Pros: -The weapons and the crafting system -The dead compatriots' personality chips still being with you and keeping them alive, while cheering you on as you go and helping you around -The gunplay is enjoyable as well. -The sound design (lots of sounds are from one of Rebellion's first born: Sniper Elite, and many can be recognized)…

Although not entirely true to the comic book, this version is close enough to provide long time Rogue Trooper fans with a chance to become the last G.I. - the last Genetic Infantryman. Bred to survive on Nu Earth, a hellish…

The team were all great, the source material fab and it all just clicked.

So many tools and mechanics and approaches to well-considered, varied setpieces. This one has Got It to a degree I wouldn't have suspected.

negative · AI labelView post →Comic book based third person shooter with fun combat and light tactical elements. Game has a decent arsenal and some funny moments, but I can't recommend it to everybody because of the short length of a campaign and bland environments. Pros: - Enemy variety; - Upgrade system; - Tactical choice; - Humores dialogs; Cons: - Short campaign (5-6h); - Dead MP;
