Someone at Teyon is having a lot of fun. Between the hair metal soundtrack, distressed neon, a villain with a passing resemblance to Alan Rickman, and liberal use of ‘creep’ and ‘scumbag’, delivered in RoboCop’s trademark deadpan manner, this feels like a perfect use of the licence. And yet…
There’s so much wrong with RoboCop: Rogue City, from haphazard framerates to stilted dialogue (lifeless mannequins delivering info-dumps), and borrowed, surface-level game design. In any other game the faults would add up to a killing blow, but with this licence, delivered with a genuine love for the source material it, well… works.
