Introduction

If you've ever wanted to skydive into chaos while looking stylish, Rogue Company delivers exactly that! Picture this: you're plummeting towards the ground, thinking about your life choices, while simultaneously looking cooler than a polar bear in sunglasses. This tactical hero shooter blends teamwork and mayhem in a delightfully chaotic package. And if that's not enough to pull your trigger finger, let's dive deeper!

Gameplay

Rogue Company invites players (aka Rogues) into its colorful world with a wide variety of playable characters - a wholesome 26 to be precise. Each character comes with unique abilities catering to various playstyles. Want to create mayhem? Sign up with Dallas. Prefer the sneaky approach? Lancer has got you covered. The gameplay is primarily objective-based, and your missions often encourage teamwork to secure victory, because let's be real - solo players are just askin' for a respawning nightmare. Matches in Rogue Company feature carefully crafted game modes, which can include Extraction (plant, hack, destroy - rinse and repeat). There's also Strikeout that allows for respawns, which lets you die gloriously in combat while your buddy snags all the kills - ah, the joys of enabling bad habits! Not to forget Demolition, where planting explosives is the name of the game (because what's better than making things go boom?). Each round kicks off with players ejecting from an aircraft, reminiscent of your childhood gameplay fantasies where falling into chaos was a childhood dream or a Sunday at your grandma's house. And let's not overlook the spending phase. Between rounds, you can use your hard-earned cash (by hard, I mean running to cover and shooting bullets, obvs) to buy and upgrade weapons, equipment, and perks. It's quite exhilarating to have a mini shopping spree after each round - who knew virtual death could be so rewarding?

Graphics

Graphically, Rogue Company has that 'Oh no, I forgot to turn the graphics down for the Switch' charm. It runs on Unreal Engine 4, a powerhouse in the graphics department, allowing for vibrant visuals and animations. The Switch version, however, does suffer from a lack of detail and occasional frame drops, especially when the action gets heated. Expecting it to look as sharp as the PC or console version might lead to a bittersweet reality check, but the gameplay remains fun despite the visual hiccups. Plus, colorful avatars and maps ensure that you'll at least be entertained while you squint at the details.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Rogue Company is like a bag of mixed candy: sometimes chewy, sometimes a bit stale, but mostly sweet! If you enjoy team-based online competition mixed with a dose of personality, it's worth diving into. Just be aware of the buggy terrain you might encounter on the Switch, as it's sadly out of service as of June 20, 2023. However, with a growing community on other platforms and a variety of updates bringing new content, Rogue Company certainly shows promise. So, ready to leap into the fray? Grab your best pals and prepare to skydive into tactical, stylish, chaotic fun-just don't forget your parachute!
