Rogue Command, from first time developer feneq, sends you on a classic roguelike run of linked RTS skirmish matches and serves up random choices of units and upgrades after each one that you can use to cobble together a new build order of units to win the next fight. There&apos;s a demo out now and it&apos;s set to release into early access on November 18.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rogue Command is first and foremost a classic RTS game. Control your units, build your base, harvest resources, explore the map, defend positions and come up with a plan of attack,&#8221; say the developers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But instead of learning your build orders by heart, every time you start a run you are faced with the challenge of coming up with a new build.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>New blueprints between missions won&apos;t add just new buildings, but units, turrets, healing towers, super weapons, and buff abilities\u2014it seems like there are plans for a lot of variety in what you build and when you choose to build it. Different leaders, called Engineers, will also be available to change how each run starts.<\/p>\n<p>Rogue Command will also feature randomized maps, as you&apos;d hope for from a roguelike. They&apos;ll be made up of procedurally generated biomes and ruins with technology to capture, or surprises to fight, alongside your enemies&apos; oncoming waves of units. There&apos;s also mentions of randomized weather effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lure the enemy into fog that slows them to a crawl or stun them by blowing up static bushes. Launch surprise attacks in the shroud of a sandstorm or wait for a rainstorm to tackle powerful enemies reliant on burning damage,&#8221; says the developer.<\/p>\n<p>You can find <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1461910\/Rogue_Command\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rogue Command on Steam<\/a>, where it will release on November 18.
