What players say

Players are deeply split on Rogue's Tale. One camp praises its old-school brutality and rewarding progression through heritages, with hundreds of hours logged. The other camp condemns its far-right political messaging and poor controls, and many find the constant, random deaths exhausting rather than fun.
