Rogue Operatives PC

Rogue Operatives for PC is an online multiplayer action game featuring stealth elements. The game was created by SIM720 – a broadly experienced British developer popular mainly for numerous expansion packs the studio has created for professional flight simulations, such as Flight Simulator X.

Mechanics

Rogue Operatives focuses on two teams of players competing against one another; one team assumes the roles of agents and the other comprises rogues. The mechanics present were based loosely on the classic game of hide & seek. Thus Rogue Operatives is played in rounds, during which the job of the agents is to track and eliminate the rogues; who, on the other hand, have to remain undetected until the end of the round in order to win. Although all of this sounds very typical, the game has at least one very interesting feature – even though the agents are basically ordinary characters running around with firearms, the rogues were gifted with a unique ability to disguise themselves as different objects of the in-game environment, such as barrels, buckets, packages, shovels, rakes, fire extinguishers, ladders, etc. The number of different forms one can shapeshift into is limited and the variety of available ones depends on the map. This special ability allows the rogues to become one with the environment and makes it easier to stay hidden.

What makes it harder for the rogues to achieve victory, is that a defeated rogue gets respawned as an agent, in addition to the neutralized agents also respawn. The experience is diversified, with different gadgets implemented. The agents were given a useful radar, which warns the player about a rogue's presence. The rogues on the other hand, can set different traps after the agents and those can be activated in different, creative ways – one has to be careful though, because other rogues can fall victim to traps as well. Both sides can also make use of different power-ups scattered throughout the maps, such as temporary invisibility, a speed-up, a defensive barrier, a drill allowing to hide under the surface, or CCTV through which the enemy can be spied on.
