They’re not dead, though, and live on as retrieved biochips in Rogue’s equipment – I’ll leave you to guess where each of them ends up. Your lead character is Rogue, a GI who goes rogue against orders after a botched aerial invasion attempt, to try and hunt down the traitor who led to the hundreds of thousands of GIs wiped out in the invasion, including Rogue’s squad-mates, Gunnar, Bagman and Helm.
ROGUE TROOPER REDUX (PS4) SKIN
Originally released at the tail end of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox era in early 2006, it’s based on the Rogue Trooper comic strip from 2000AD, from the brazenly blue skin of the Genetic Infantry through to the incredibly British feeling and amusingly unimaginative naming of the characters in the game.

One thing that’s clear to see is the care and attention that has been lavished on this game, not just to bring it back, but to try and improve it for modern gamers. Depending on the budget, you might end up with a Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy or an abomination like Silent Hill HD Collection, and Rogue Trooper Redux sits somewhere between these two extremes. Though we’re past the peak of the game remaster wave that swept across the industry a couple years ago, we still see tons of game developers and publishers looking to revisit their back catalogue and revive it for a new generation.
