Rogue Flight is an arcade space combat game that draws inspiration from the style of ’80s and ’90s prestige anime, with a touch of StarFox influence. The game is set to be released later this year, and you can check out the announcement trailer below.
The trailer showcases gameplay that aligns with the description on the Steam page. Players can engage in acrobatic maneuvers in their spacecraft while taking down enemies across nine different stages. The game offers a branching narrative path and an unlockable roguelite mode for those seeking a challenge. Additionally, customization options are available for both the spacecraft and pilot.
The game’s marketing highlights the voice cast, which includes renowned Japanese actors from popular anime series such as Sailor Moon, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gundam, Naruto, and One Piece. On the English side, voice actors from Fallout 76, Overwatch, and League Of Legends are featured. The emphasis on voice acting adds a unique touch to the game’s immersive experience.
While the fast-paced space combat gameplay is enjoyable, the true appeal lies in the aesthetic and tone of the game. Anime that explores themes of melancholy and existential dread resonates deeply with many players, offering a unique and emotional gaming experience.
