About Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader poster

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader casts you as a Lord-Captain exploring the Koronus Expanse, a barely charted and dangerous stretch of space. From the deck of your personal giant voidship you travel between systems in a region considered a backwater of the Imperium, yet one that spans an enormous swath of the void filled with deadly creatures and lucrative opportunities alike. This blend of adventure, indie, RPG, and strategy leans heavily on choice: your decisions matter, and even those made during character creation reshape the open world and the people within it.

Rogue Traders never sail alone, so you gather a retinue of righteous heroes, twisted psykers, and treacherous xenos who counsel you, fight beside you, and help you amass power. In turn you can guide these companions through personal journeys that alter their destinies. Combat plays out in fully-fledged isometric turn-based tactical battles where you exploit cover, the environment, and careful positioning to overpower foes, calling on your companions' potent abilities to turn the tide when ordinary tactics fall short. Whether you show mercy or disdain and stay faithful to the God-Emperor or consort with Mankind's enemies, this sprawling Warhammer RPG rewards deliberate play on PC.
