Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a broad initial arsenal may bounce off the setup of one pistol and one drop-pod
- Players who prefer a detailed-color visual style may reject the black-and-white 1-bit presentation
- Players looking specifically for multiplayer shooting will find that the stated premise centers on a solo invader
Our take on Rogue Invader
The likely bounce point is the opening setup: the supply ships are gone, leaving one drop-pod and one pistol for the invasion. Players expecting varied equipment at the start may hit that restriction immediately.
