## INTRODUCTION

ROGUE SHIFT is a high-intensity top-down shooter with rogue-lite elements and character progression, set on a harsh planet that will test your will to survive. To stay alive, you will pit yourself against hordes of relentless enemies in an unforgiving, hostile environment.

Level up, unlock perks, gain psionic abilities and find weapons to become progressively more powerful as you attempt to stay one step ahead of the enemy.

ROGUE SHIFT can be played using a keyboard & mouse, or as a twin-stick shooter using any compatible controller (XBox, PlayStation or generic equivalents).## STORY

When your dropship is shot down by supposedly friendly defences, you find yourself isolated. Your oxygen is running low, dangerous creatures lurk, and hazardous environments separate you from the nearest outpost. Before you can even think about finding answers, your immediate concern is just to survive the first five minutes.## FEATURE SUMMARY

  • Level up and unlock perks to boost your character over time in a manner that suits your play-style.
  • Three distinct gameplay modes, all with online scoreboards.
  • Some modes include online co-op up to 4 players.
