Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader Preview

There are, as we all know, videogames for every age, interest and skill. There are games that only require attention for a few minutes at a time. Then there are games like Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Owlcat’s upcoming homage to both the original Warhammer tabletop game and its own CRPGs — now in beta — is one of those titles that can crossover from being a casual dip into the Warhammer world to a happy time sink and weeks’ long commitment. Even the beta runs well over 60 hours.

In addition to being an incredibly deep CRPG similar to the developer’s Pathfinder, Rogue Trader is a lore lover’s dream game. Fans of Warhammer 40K will relish the remarkable attention to detail. Casual gamers largely unfamiliar with Warhammer will enjoy the game simply for its excellent tactical gameplay and story.
