Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

While lacking the polish and production value that saw the genre float into the mainstream this year, Rogue Trader is a refreshing CRPG experience that values everything that makes games like these so special.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader not only promises, but delivers the very thing it was designed to be – a meaty, authentic Warhammer 40k game that feels right at home in its RPG trappings.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is a fantastic turn-based tactical RPG that makes amazing use of its source material while still providing an immense amount of freedom to its players. But how does it hold up in a post-Baldur's Gate 3 world? Here's our review.

Rogue Trader sets itself out from the crowd, both in its franchise and its genre. It feels unique. It’s not just boltguns and chainswords slapped onto Pathfinder. The thought and care to make it have its own identity has been taken, and I hope Owlcat follows through further with it. ‘Cos it works great.

Warhammer 40: Rogue Trader can often be a great experience, complete with an approach to the CRPG genre that benefits the licence. However, a slew of technical issues and poorly implemented systems hold it back from being the game it truly should have been.

Despite some glaring performance issues, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is still a massive, colourful, compelling adventure on the Nintendo Switch 2.

I'm new to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. My introduction should've happened at another place and time. Rogue Trader may very well be a good game, but it most definitely is not a good game on the Switch 2.Read More

Owlcat Games tries to pull off another engrossing CRPG that encapsulates a beloved tabletop universe. Does Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader’s deep world-building and story-telling do enough to override the multitude of bugs that plague it?

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is the first classic roleplaying game with turn-based combat in the legendary grim darkness of the far future of Warhammer 40,000.

The grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000 is no stranger to video game adaptations, but CRPGs are a fairly new entry to the franchise. That is, until the initial release of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader in 2023. Owlcat Games have now taken on the mammoth task of converting the adaptation of the tabletop phenomena to more dice roles and extensive dialogue, bringing all of that to Nintendo’s newest hybrid beast. Let’s see if the Rogue Trader can barter a good port, shall we?

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is an excellent RPG that you should play on any platform barring Nintendo Switch 2. This port is not ready.
