Once, she was a sweet young lady, eager to please all around her. The third floor of each tile set has a unique twist such as riots, missile attacks, or creeping ooze.A Lady Gone Rogue: Miss Emmaline Trent is notorious. All the tiles sets have similar NPCs and buildings, but they will be procedurally generated each time. Starting with the slums, each tile set has three floors that then lead to the next tile set. The best way to understand this is to think of the tile sets as floors in a building. The levels are all procedurally generated, but they are grouped into similar looking tile sets which change as the player moves through the city. All the objectives have multiple ways of achieving them. The other objectives include flipping off switches or retrieving items from NPCs. One such objective may be to neutralize an NPC, which can be done many different ways a player could take them out by killing them outright, they could encourage others to kill the NPC, or they could create an accidental situation to achieve this same end. There objectives that need to be finished in order to move onto the next level, but those objectives are loosely defined. A player could go through the level killing everyone they come across, or interact with the level in many different ways. That doesn’t stop players from doing whatever they want to do. Playable characters each have their own unique abilities, such as Pickpocket for thieves or Arrest for police officers. Players work for a resistance group trying to free the city from an oppressive mayor, so there’s a freedom fighter vibe to the storyline. The player can use non-violent means to achieve objectives, though it might require some extra thinking to come up with a solution. There are bonuses for destroying levels, but there are also bonuses for getting through a level using no violence. Positive Content: As I stated earlier, Streets of Rogue doesn’t encourage players to act in any particular way. It’s not clear how someone becomes a slave, and there doesn’t appear to be any racial bias as slaves are a random assortment of races. The slavers wear black uniforms and masks which look similar to those of executioners. Other Questionable Content: The near future world of Streets of Rogue contains slavers who sell human slaves which the player can buy. Cigarettes can also be found throughout the levels. Drugs can be found throughout most levels, and in each level a drug dealer sells drugs and gives out side missions. A playable character receives a health boost from drinking alcohol as well as eating food. Some characters start the game with bottles of whiskey and beer as a part of their loadout. The 8-bit graphics aren’t very explicit, but when the NPC is reduced to a bloody pile of red chunks it’s unmistakable.ĭrug/Alcohol Use: Drugs and alcohol play a major role in the gameplay. If the player continues to attack the dead NPC or if the player use explosives the NPC will explode into a bloody mess. When the player kills an NPC they mostly fall over sideways. Some of the NPCs (non-player characters) will runaway, but some will fight back. Players can attack anyone or anything in the game. Violence: The majority of the questionable content comes from the violence portrayed in the game. The game is rated Everyone 10+, and I would recommend this game to older kids on up. The storyline of the game doesn’t push the player to play one way or another, which means it doesn’t encourage good moral choices over bad ones. Streets of Rogue’s free-form gameplay leads to a lot of questionable content because the player can choose to make many good and bad moral choices. Despite this, however, Streets of Rogue may have limited appeal due to its roguelike gameplay. The end result is a game whose free-form design encourages creativity, and which possesses a strong AI (artificial intelligence) that makes its world come to life. Mark Dabrowski created Streets of Rogue with the idea of making a roguelike/roguelite that gives the player lots of agency. Player agency contributes to the enjoyment of a game, whether it’s an open world or a rail shooter, and the amount of agency desired in gameplay varies from player to player. The level of freedom that games give a player is often referred to as player agency. Platforms : PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch
