MutationsĮven if you stick with one character, each run takes on its own personality thanks to the items you find in shops, chests and safes, as well as the traits you pick up between levels. I also just discovered eating burnt bodies restores more HP as the cannibal, so I buy a flamethrower whenever I can. I only just realised, for example, that hackers can hack fridges to make them literally ‘run’ (geddit?), flattening anyone in their path and then bursting open to reveal the food inside, which restores HP. I still have a handful of characters to unlock, including a vampire who must kill a hidden werewolf on each level.Īnd after 15 hours, I’m still finding new ways to use characters I thought I’d mastered. Streets of Rogue is not groundbreaking as either, but being able to choose between 26 different playstyles makes it hard to stop playing. With the soldier and their machinegun, it’s a top-down shooter. With the assassin, who can go invisible and chain stab enemies, I’m playing a slow-burn stealth game. Despite this, said classes are easy to use and their abilities are expected to be frequently used.These quests, and the unique traits of each character, make picking a new class feel like playing a completely different game. * BoringButPractical: The Assassin, Doctor, and Vampire all require somebody to have their back turned to use their specials to their fullest, and the game seems aware of this (hence why there are so many people walking around, including officers with itchy trigger fingers). The firefighter's consent is not required. * BodyHorror: In order to make the fire department better at their job, the mayor ordered that every firefighter should have one of their arms replaced by a water cannon. The end of the game, when the player usurps the government, ] this in spades, with your character either eventually becoming just as bad as the previous Mayor or being TheCaligula right from the start, depending on your previous actions.
Some of the playable classes with more violent quests (such as the Assassin, Shapeshifter, and Zombie) can hedge into outright EvilVsEvil. But the Resistance, spearheaded by the player, can (and often ''must'', depending on your assigned missions) murder, assault, and steal from many seemingly-innocent people, perform widespread property damage, release convicted criminals onto the street, and perform many other acts of VideoGameCrueltyPotential besides. * BlackAndGreyMorality: The Mayor's government is a brutal totalitarian regime with legalized slavery, massive wealth disparity between the rich and poor, widespread PoliceBrutality, and more. * BatterUp: Baseball bats are one of the most common melee weapons in the game. * BanditMook: The Thief will try to pickpocket your items from behind. Killing someone with this unlockes the Comedian class. * BananaPeel: You can get it after eating a banana people who step on it will trip and become stunned for a moment. * BackStab: Backstabber is an unlockable trait that lets you do twice the damage if attacking somebody from behind. * AnAxeToGrind: A powerful melee weapon, and part of the Cannibal class starting loadout. * AutoRevive: Drinking the Resurrection Shampoo grants you a status effect that will revive you once when you die. This is part of the Scientist class starting loadout. * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: A Giantizer pill lets you temporarily turn into one of these, smashing any walls in your path. This can include "sugar", muscly pills, and cigarettes. * ArtisticLicenseChemistry: For some odd reason, you can place anything that's considered a "drug" into an air purifier, and it will suddenly leak as gas throughout the building it was attached to. ''Streets of Rogue'' is a real-time on chicken nuggets turns the rewards from random NPC missions on levels into item rewards like main level missions, so you don't feel like you have to pass them up entirely because they're not worth your while once you're not spending nuggets.
