Bug #4266

Major Gameplay and Design Flaws in Rogue Core

Status:	Open
Priority:	Critical
Added by:	a...s@betahub.io on May 21, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	EA Release Build Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Abandoning the first game just to make this garbage is absolutely absurd.
2. Most of the art assets are directly ripped from the first game, and they still have the nerve to pull this insane pricing.
3. The gameplay is also absurd. It completely lost that cooperative, everyone-wins vibe from the first game — now it's just snatching buffs from teammates, where whoever gets lucky has fun while the other three sit there suffering.
4. Splitting classes and weapons killed any interesting synergy.
5. Competing with teammates for upgrades is a design choice no sane human would come up with.
6. A single dive taking 40+ minutes is pure torture. Losing one person late game basically means the run is instantly f*****.
7. The dwarves are ugly beyond belief. The first game's dwarves were already ugly enough, but somehow the sequel manages to be even uglier, and more DEI-infected too.
8. The amount of content is pathetically low. Oh, you say it's early access? Last time I checked, you're not charging early access prices.
9. And the multiplayer system — restricting mid-join so you have to wait for a full squad of 4 to start, but given the game's quality and the length of a single session, finding 4 randoms will quickly become nearly impossible.
10. And the difficulty — is this made for immortals or something? Difficulty 1 feels harder than a Deep Dive. The final boss took all four of us dumping our entire ammo, then we had to chip away with pickaxes for an eternity just to barely kill it.
11. Utterly f****** disappointed. Management are brain-dead idiots.
