Rogue Command
True RTS gameplay reinforced with roguelite build crafting. Control units with bullet-time precision. Call down bases and raise armies. Drafted from a different arsenal every run. Weave builds that break the game. Or the game breaks you.

“An absolutely excellent little RTS. Does a great job at blending in the roguelite mechanics, and gives the player plenty of options for how to handle things.”
“The most fun I have had with an RTS in a long time.”

“Pretty fun roguelike take on the real-time strategy game. I like how each run is slightly different based on which units, buildings, and abilities you unlock. I never felt like I was being overwhelmed by too many units…”
“Such an interesting mix of core RTS with elements of deck building/ upgrading to make runs very unique. Plenty of play styles that you can tailor your build to”
“im over 900 hours deep and have no intention of stopping any time soon!”

“everything you can expect from a rts roguelite ... ho wait there is almost none. You like rts you like roguelite go for it it's fun . You can slowdown the pace of the game with space ,if you are not a big RTS player…”
“I beat it on my first try. The whole soundscape is terrible. It is missing a lot of hotkeys I like. I would show this to someone trying out RTS, someone that can't handle a lot of expansions. It's easy to play with the…”

“Excellent game, the addition of ascensions and the meta progression in the latest updates really adds a lot of replay value.”

“I'm an RTS gamer and I love it. The enemies feel samesie across runs but there are enough unique unlocks every time you finish a run to make the game feel fresh. I'm ~30 hours in and bet I'll get another 20 hrs out of…”
“Any game that is able to keep me engaged for more than 10h is a welcome surprise for me. That begin said, I really miss the early build order aspect in the early game in this game that you would get in a usual 1v1 game.…”
“game changes once you realize you can slow down time and leave to make soup at any point. gets more fun once you start using drops effectively. took me 70 hours to beat a run with every specialist, engineer, and…”

“Lackluster Roguelite, way to easy to start, with the community informing me i have to put in around 10/20+ hours before the game is actually a roguelite?! meaning there is little to no "high stakes and great reward"…”
“Fun twist on the RTS genre with plenty of replayability. Difficulty can be a little easy at times once you figure out the right builds (even at the highest ascensions) but loads of different units and upgrades to play…”

“Cool concept, but boring. Beat the missions 3 times and got to the last level in my first attempt, so close to 4 full completes and I'm just not feeling the drive to keep going. Some levels it plays elevator / stardew…”

“The game is really fun, merging the concept of RTS with Roguelite is actually a really sick concept and it works surprisingly great. I do wish upgrades were a bit better though. Most of the time I see no reason to…”

“AMENDED REVIEW AFTER MORE PLAYTIME: This game is pretty enjoyable as long as you know all the little tricks to make it enjoyable. The first trick is that you can and should rely on the not-quite-pause of slow-mo mode (0.1x speed, ish) by pressing spacebar. It's a pseudo APM…”
— a player, Steam review · 45 hrs played“Great game, lets go!!!!> Now that's it's finally released, I'm gonna recommend the game beccause it's really fun. Being a RTS that is single player helps largely because I don't and can't play competitive. But on to the game, the main point is to build an army that can beat or…”
— a player, Steam review · 74 hrs played“Rogue Command comes in for the old RTS heads who want something a little bit different from their gameplay. A blast to play for a while, but it has some flaws that prevent it from being a masterpiece. You choose your starting harvesters and engineer (your builder unit). You…”
