The new work "Rogue Point" by the "Black Mesa" team Crowbar Collective will be officially released on November 12, 2024. The game is expected to be released in 2025.
Crowbar Collective, the development team that launched the game module "Black Mesa" reimagined from Valve Software's first-person sci-fi shooter "Thriller 2", today released a promotional video for its new game "Rogue Point", showing off the game's gameplay features. "Rogue Point" is a shooting game that supports up to 4-player cooperation. Players will team up with friends to create an elite team. Plan and execute challenging missions in the ever-changing Roguelite game structure.
The story describes that after the death of the richest CEO on earth, ruthless corporate groups gear up to try to carve up his kingdom. These rival businessmen use an application called MERX to hire private mercenary groups to create the perfect army for corporate warfare. The whole process is as simple as ordering food delivery. The only one who dares to fight back is the elite independent security team "Rogue Point".
In the game, the player's enemy is MERX. These mercenaries will challenge the team's strategy formulation and tactical abilities, and each MERX profession has a different AI gameplay and unique attack style.
Soldier
Basic infantry profession. They carry pistols, assault rifles and grenades and operate in small groups. Soldiers are the most common enemies in this game, but don't underestimate their strength.
Berserker
Obsessed with strengthening the body to the point of disregarding life, the berserker has only one combat goal, which is to close the distance and then kill the entire team with a machete. They are the representatives of chaos, causing everything you have carefully planned to go down the drain.
sniper
Snipers stand guard from a distance, with the goal of suppressing your squad and preventing you from entering important areas. The only way to spot them is the laser light emitted by the gun and the moment when teammates around them are headshot.
Heavy troops
Hoplites are like huge, slow-moving beasts. They don't need cover, and bullets can't do anything to them. Even if the ammunition of the gun is exhausted, it will not hinder their actions at all. The response is to run away or try to find their weakness.
5 stars
These legendary MERX commanders have the highest star rating in the app. There isn't much information about the 5-stars. We only know that they will appear in the final mission, and your team needs to go all out to have a chance to defeat them. If successful, their corpses can be used as trophies as proof of victory.

Teamwork can defeat the enemy and win. Officials emphasized that the design focus of this game is teamwork to attract players into the battle. You have to adapt, overcome, battle, and improvise with your team to win. Start with a pistol and an armored vest, successfully complete missions again and again, achieve beautiful teamwork results, earn income, and expand your elite weapon arsenal. The team does not take risks only when performing missions, but faces challenges during the planning and equipment configuration stages; the game's "killer airdrop" gives you the opportunity to obtain the most powerful equipment and special weapons that are not available elsewhere.
In addition to the campaign content, the development team has specially added extremely difficult end-game missions to the game, waiting for players to accept the test. This daunting challenge features more powerful enemies and more ferocious battles that will push the team's strength, equipment, and tactics to their limits.
"Rogue Point" is expected to be released in 2025.
