He interacts with citizens at the police station, some of whom are reporting crimes, some who are turning themselves in. He’s tasked with carrying a scofflaw off to the drunk tank. It’s here that Rogue City starts to reveal it’s more than just a first-person shooter: RoboCop will have to not just uphold the law (by killing a bunch of dudes), but also serve the public trust. Hallucinations involving his widowed wife and son cause him to basically shut down - a “glitch” caught on camera that benches RoboCop and fosters public suspicion that he’s incapable at best, extremely dangerous at worst.īack at the OCP-run police station, RoboCop gets a diagnostic and is ordered to recalibrate.

RoboCop has a slight malfunction in this scene, and starts having flashbacks to his pre-cyborg days. Where RoboCop: Rogue City becomes much more interesting is after the TV station has been liberated of its hostage takers. This is pure RoboCop power fantasy you’re a walking tank with mostly infinite ammo and programming that demands you mete out justice with your burst-fire hand cannon. There are exploding barrels to shoot at, bulky computer monitors to throw, health kits to consume, and enemies that are pleasingly dumb and easy to dispatch.

RoboCop and Lewis clomp through the station’s corridors and stairways, and players dispatch scores of armed gutter punks using high-powered guns.

Some clumsy dialogue stands in the way, but the developer is at least trying to do more than just deliver a RoboCop shooting gallery. ( Rogue City is set after the events of RoboCop 2, which introduced Nuke, giving RoboCop fans another chance to ignore the existence of the third film, in which RoboCop gets a jetpack.) Developer Teyon maintains a satirical edge through the opening moments of Rogue City, and nearly pulls off saying something. It opens with a news broadcast that establishes the crime-ridden state of Old Detroit, and the continued proliferation of a highly addictive designer drug called Nuke. RoboCop: Rogue City is wise to borrow from the harshly satirical style of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 original film. November’s RoboCop: Rogue City may reverse the cyborg crime fighter’s fortunes, based on a meaty demo released on Steam earlier in October.

Outside of Data East’s very good 1988 arcade game, studios have condemned RoboCop to appear in mostly lousy licensed video game schlock over the past 35 years. RoboCop has been badly mistreated by the video game medium.
