While there is no shortage of video games based on Games Workshop IPs out there, it’s not often we get one that’s truly worth talking about. However, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is a fantastic turn-based tactical RPG that makes amazing use of its source material while still providing an immense amount of freedom to its players. Unfortunately, it also happened to release in the same year as another RPG based on a major IP, Baldur’s Gate 3 , which outperforms it in pretty much every aspect. With that in mind, Rogue Trader might not be the best tactical RPG to come out in 2023, but it is the best Warhammer 40,000 title released last year.
One of the most unique aspects of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is the leniency that is granted to those holding the title of Rogue Trader. They’re essentially above the law and can do things that might be considered heretical in the imperium (as long as it’s not an actual act of heresy). This allows Rogue Trader to be one of the most diverse games in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
For example, it’s possible for the Rogue Trader to assemble a group of companions that would not be possible anywhere. Grab yourself an Adepta Sororitas, a Psyker, a Space Marine, and even an Aeldari. Someone of lesser authority would be executed on the spot for even considering working with a Xeno. Find a cool heretic weapon or artifact? Put it to use, and no one’s going to send the inquisition after you (hopefully). There are even battle scenarios where this is incredibly useful, such as donning the attire of recently deceased cultists to infiltrate an enemy stronghold.
While there are a handful of pre-made characters to choose from, the only way to fully customize your Rogue Trader is to create one from scratch. Thankfully, there are a good amount of options available, including standard appearance options, such as portrait, gender, face types, body style, skin tone, hair, tattoos, and augmentations. Players can also choose from a variety of homeworlds that have unique bonuses, an origin that will determine certain skills and talents, and finally, one of four initial class archetypes: Warrior, Officer, Operative, and Soldier.
Out of all the options available, I found the starting class options to be one of the more boring aspects of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. They essentially boil down to melee attacker, ranged attacker, buffer, and de-buffer. For the first few levels, there’s barely any noticeable difference between the archetypes as most characters feel like they have a similar strength and weapon proficiency but this definitely changes once you near unlocking the second tier of archetypes. I suppose this makes sense as there isn’t a huge variety of skill sets among humans

Warhammer 40,000 fans have been enjoying a wealth of content lately, from the usual licensed novels published by Black Library to the sprawling narrative RPG Rogue Trader, and even the upcoming Amazon collaboration helmed by Henry Cavill.

It’s been a while since I’ve felt as genuinely mixed over a game as I have for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Coincidentally, the last game I felt this conflicted over was Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, but for dramatically different reasons, as the only things they have in common are the IP and unstable performance.
