  So, originally, I wasnt going to recommend this game. I tried it, liked it, bought it... but there was no save function. That, however has been added in, removing the one and only real problem I had with this game. And that's great, because I really like this one alot. This game is exactly what the title says: A combination of an FPS and a Roguelike. When it says "FPS", it generally means those done in the Doom/Duke3D/Wolfenstein style... older FPS games where the combat was fast, you had to actually dodge enemy projectiles (no cover systems here!), and there were maze-like levels to explore full of goodies to pick up, and a large variety of unique enemies. This takes all of those elements, and replicates them well. I particularly like some of the enemy design/behavior... there's some creative ones in here, in terms of what they do and how they attack (a couple can attack by hugging you and sticking to your screen. No, really.), and I really like that some of them will actively try to dodge your attacks, leaping quickly to the side, or even firing at you a couple of times, and then running off down some random corridor, only to come at you from a different angle later. That's pretty neat to see. The roguelike elements are done well also. You've got your typical permadeath, as well as the full randomization and murderous difficulty that you'd expect. There's alot of different items and weapons to find, randomized with all sorts of different stats and special effects, with all equippable items being breakable, as they lose durability when you get hit, though you can fix them with tools once you reach a safe room. You also have the ability to craft various things, there's alot of special items to find like grenades that triple the damage you do to the enemy after hitting them with it, or holographic decoys, and all sorts of other stuff. There's various other mechanics to the game as well. As in most roguelikes though you're gonna be hard-pressed to keep a good supply of stuff going. Ammo isnt always so easy to come by, so you need to be careful, aim well, and conserve your shots to make the best of it and be efficient. That being said, this game isnt for everyone. If you dont like Doom-style games, you wont like this one. Same for roguelikes in general.... all levels are *completely* randomized, and just like with basically all roguelikes, the game as a whole is repetetive. Which is fine if you're used to that sort of game (seriously, most roguelikes really do get quite repetetive). And you've gotta be able to handle the difficulty and the dying over and over. And if you're the sort that considers graphics and such to be important... yeah, this isnt for you. Dont get me wrong. I dont think this is a bad looking game. The artstyle entertains me and I like the overall aesthetic. But like a great many indie titles, the graphics are quite limited overall. But this doesnt affect the gameplay one bit, so.... like it or leave it, up to you. Overall, yeah, I recommend this one. I'm having a blast with it, and it's going to get alot of play time from me. It's exactly my sort of thing. Hopefully, it might be yours as well.

  Surprisingly addictive and full of true 90's FPS charm, but holy hell does this game have some huge control issues. Enemies somehow manage to grapple onto you and stop you from moving, you get caught on walls all the time and there's loads of other cheap problems with the level design, or lack thereof. There's 100 or so floors and I can't imagine anyone beating them any time soon. Hopefully they patch out the small bugs because this one has a lot of potential.

  I think rogue shooter has a lot of potential. The weapon system plays alot like borderlands for example you could have a +1 shotgun but a +2 pistol would beat it. The game is cruel and makes you go to lvl 100 in one life. there are safe floors every 4 floors that have a merchant and a workshop. The AI is good and also bad, you can dodge everything. One of the aliens has a shield aurora that makes all enemies around it invincible, which i disagree with, hopefully they will patch it in the future giving it a damage reduction. the game gets a bit repetitive, but can be enertaining from floor to floor. And this is done with weather conditions such as no radar for this floor. The perk system is good but i want more usefull perks. its a good game if you have a friend over to play shifs, im giving the game a 8/10 for being as classic as possible

  I actually enjoyed this game for what it's worth, but I can't recommend buying it. The developer, Hippomancer, has left the game in an unplayable state for some and a buggy mess for others, myself included in the latter. There were two patches in the first three weeks after the game was released, and then nothing. All attempts to contact the dev via the forums, the contact page on his website, or his twitter account have gone unanswererd. The game has not been updated since May of 2014. The game was released in April of 2014. It is very clearly abandonware. Don't support devs who don't support their own games.

  It's like Marathon With Guns. But to be serious this is a great game and definatly worth a try at least. It plays like a typical classic shooter akin to Doom, Marathon, Duke Nukem, ect. But one big thing seprating it is the Roguelike RPG elements that the game is based on, when starting you can pick a set of starting equipment such as the Soldier which has a fully loaded assault rifle and some decent armor to start or The Prisoner which starts barebones but can take two Perks instead of one at the start. Once you start it's pretty self expanatory. You have 100 randomly generated floors to go through with momentary safe rooms spaced between each one that allows you to Upgrade/Repair weapons and buy ammo and health for the next set of floors. You can find a number of weapons off of Enemies that you fight which can drop on anyfloor off of any enemy ranging from a Realtivly weak Katana to a Goddamn Rocket Launcher. The levels are pretty easy but get harder and harder the father you get up, Of course this can be said of any game but as anyone who plays Rougelikes knows: Once you die, you lose everything and have to start again. There is plenty of replay value to be found in this game, the more Intel you collect throughout the game you gain bonuses such as Health and Damage upgrades that can carry over to the next game and Higher Diffulcuty levels if your man enough for them. To put it simply: this is a great game overall and well worth the 10 bucks you can get it for ($4 as I write this during the summer sale).

  Everything good about Rogue-style games is represented here. Loot variance, crafting, mystery consumables, lots of replayability, and an easy to learn control scheme. If Doom was turned into a quirky roguelike, this is the result. I've played 2 hours at the time I wrote this review, and I'd wager there may be many more by the time you read this review! My only complaint: Intel isn't tallied up til the end of the run, and my very first run was good enough that I ran out of perks to spend points on because the rest weren't unlocked! Very minimal though, and nobody should expect to survive their first run anyhow.

  Rogue Shooter is a Doom-like procedurally generated FPS. It was created during the "roguelite" indie boom of 2012-2015 following on the heels of the original Binding of Isaac, Rogue Legacy, Spelunky, Risk of Rain, and FTL: Faster Than Light. The game was created as an FPS spin-off take on this craze. Created and released by Hippomancer as the company's first and (presumably) only ever game, as the company no longer seems to be active in game development. The game has been more-or-less abandoned by its creator since shortly after its release in 2015. It was one of the first of its kind along with Tower of Guns and Paranautical Activity and influenced later FPS-Roguelites such as Ziggurat 1&2, Immortal Redneck, Gunfire Reborn, and STRAFE. As of me writing this review the game has not been on sale since 2020 and might not go on sale ever again. Even without a sale the game is worth every penny of the $5 price tag. For anyone interested and for fans of the genre especially, I recommend this game. If you decide to purchase this game, MAKE SURE you check out the fan-made mod Rogue Shooter Redux. It fixes many bugs and adds a lot of content. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME WITHOUT THE MOD: https://steamcommunity.com/app/295770/discussions/0/1643164558916129244/

  I cannot recommend this to everybody. This game is very cheesy, stupid, and beautiful. To put it bluntly, if it looks like fun, it just might be your thing. If it looks stupid to you and unattractive, it will be. I squeezed out around 20 hours on this low-price game, and I'd say that it was worth it. The game has a lot of problems in terms of semi-mediocre execution of certain mechanics and a lot of bugs (some of which will ruin a playthrough, enemies stuck outside the map, etc.), but it has the right touch of personality and what I would call a cute mix of things I like. Play the demo, make up your mind, and buy/leave it.

  A real shame. I love FPS Roguelikes. I bought this immediately upon seeing the name and enjoyed it quite a bit. The graphics are terrible but for a game striving to look and play like the DOS games of yore it did an alright job. I really, really did enjoy this game. What a shame the game has been left to die by the developer in a state as buggy as a month-old pig carcass. I spent $10 on a bug-ridden, abandoned mess with amazing potential. Do not make the same mistake I did. Rogue Shooter is abandonware. Try and find a free version online if you really want to give this a go, but do not support developers who abandon their games after public release, it does NOT set a good precedent.

  Very buggy title, with no real sign of the Devs wanting to fix them. When it's working reliably though, the game is quite fun and has a very Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold camp-y feel to it. UPDATE: Still a do-not-buy for the same reasons above.
