About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, gamers! Ready to step into the boots of Rogue Trooper, one of the last elite Genetic Infantrymen, a survivor of a brutal massacre? In Rogue Trooper, you and your battle buddies will scour the planet Nu-Earth, a true post-war hellscape, in search of the traitor who wiped out your unit. But beware, the path is fraught with peril: the relentless Nort forces and other threats are everywhere. On the other hand, hope also emerges in the form of allies, valuable equipment, and crucial clues about the villain's identity and whereabouts. The race against time is essential, because once the traitor is exposed, a deadly chase begins across Nu-Earth and even through the Milli-Com empire, with the ultimate goal of eliminating them. This game places you at the heart of a comic book-inspired sci-fi adventure, featuring tactical combat on a hexagonal board and plenty of dice rolling to determine the fate of your missions. If you enjoy themes of war, survival, and a good dose of action, prepare for an intense and engaging experience that will keep you hooked from start to finish. The campaign promises challenges and twists that will test your strategic skills and your luck.
