RoboCop: Rogue City Releases Nov. 2, Respects Original but Struggles with Originality, Glitches and Performance Issues

Despite strong shooting mechanics and well-crafted homage to the RoboCop mythos, technical and performance issues coupled with an overly familiar plot hinder Teyon's FPS title from reaching full potential.

• RoboCop: Rogue City, a continuation of the beloved 80s action film story developed by Teyon, releases on November 2, but grapples with technical glitches and performance issues.
• In this game, players revisit the crime-ridden Old Detroit as Alex Murphy (RoboCop), taking part in a single-player campaign interjected with side quests - their efficiency in policing impact XP gain and game endings.
• Despite faithful homages to the RoboCop storyline, the game is criticized for over-reliance on old themes and a lack of originality in plot and character naming - with a plot centered around dealing with a new drug spread and development plans from Omni Consumer Products (OCP).
• Gaming aside, RoboCop: Rogue City reportedly encounters technical issues, such as frame rate drops, visual hitches in dialogue scenes, and game crashes - leaving a much-desired slick performance amiss.
• As per reviews, the game offers a robust combat experience with various weaponry choices and upgradeable systems; however, the repeated use of one-liners, limited enemy types, and an unclear impact of dialogue choices affect gameplay satisfaction.
