About the game

What you do in a play session

Following heavy infantry losses from the initial Janusian invasion, ELITE Command assembled a worldwide team of survivors to craft the perfect counter-offensive. Enter the Rapid Offense & Operations Kommandos – the ROOKs! These elite units don't just take the fight to the Proxies; they do it in brand-new prototype mobile tank suits. These powerful, mechanically-enhanced suits of armor blend native and alien technologies to devastating effect, making each ROOK soldier worth ten common infantry on the battlefield... provided everything works as intended, of course! ROOKs are hardened veteran soldiers clad in groundbreaking Terran tech and salvaged alien gear, bringing the war to the Proxies until victory or death! This pack introduces the ROOKs to Project: ELITE, bringing new units and challenges for those who already enjoy the base game's adrenaline rush. It's time to show them who's boss!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the base game Project: ELITE to play with this expansion?
Absolutely! This is an expansion, so you need to own the original Project: ELITE to use the ROOKs.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion maintains the player count of the base game, which is for 1 to 6 players. The cooperative fun continues!
Does the expansion add a lot of playtime?
Not necessarily. It adds more options and challenges, but the core real-time gameplay of Project: ELITE is typically fast and frantic.
Are the ROOKs much harder to control?
They are powerful units, which might seem easier at first, but they require good management to maximize their potential. The real-time nature of the game still demands quick thinking.
Is this expansion for strategy lovers or more for pure action fans?
Project: ELITE has always been a blend of both, and the ROOKs intensify that. You need to think fast and act precisely to win!
Do I need the base game fully translated to play?
Yes, the base game Project: ELITE has language dependency, and this expansion follows suit, requiring the base game to be understandable for all players.
