Description
Freelancers: Rogue Skies is an open-world, single-player space combat rogue lite where every pilot is expendable and each death births a new story. Take control of ARC‑700 starfighters and dive into fast-paced dogfights across a handcrafted galaxy wracked by war between the UEG and Fringe Colonies.
▪ High‑octane 3rd‑person combat
Master agile dogfighting. Dodge and strike like a real pilot. Enemy AI flank, evade, and hunt with ruthless precision.
▪ Permadeath with purpose

▪ Fully open-world galaxy

User Reviews
only good thing about this is the art work. the assets looked good. other then that I can't figure the game out. there seem to be no purpose but shoot enemy ships and the scan feature seems to not have enough range. if there is a story or anything to do here. it is unclear and I am unable to find it. I also thought this was freelancer the game I had loved. So I was very disappointed.
Needs a tutorial or something, its not early access to I can't really recommend the game in its current state. I'm so lost at the start theres no real objective or explanation beyond contract started? I kill the one enemy in the debris field and then what? Will re review after a few updates but hold off, this game is a demo in its current state.
At this time, I don't recommend this game despite it's price point. There doesn't seem to be a tutorial. The controller isn't set up in a good way and there's no way to change the layout. The game looks primarily empty and the few small ships I encountered, barely fought back. There's no difficulty setting and last but not least, I tried to land on a planet and my ship literally bump into the planet. You can't land and you don't take damage from even bumping into it. There were 2 space stations and I couldn't find a way to land on them. This game has potential, but still needs a lot of polish.
