Roguelite Co-op Shooter Rogue Point Announced by Black Mesa Developers and Team17

Publisher Team17 has partnered with developer Crowbar Collective (Black Mesa) to deliver the studios first original IP called Rogue Point, a tactical 4-player co-op roguelite shooter.

Here’s what to expect from Rogue Point.

Key Features

• Unlock cosmetics, weapons and campaign modifiers to create loadouts specific to the needs of the mission.  

• Plan and shoot your way through a dynamic campaign, where no two playthroughs are alike. 

• Each MERX class presents a unique threat, that challenges you in new and surprising ways.   

• Evolve operators' skills, interacting with the rogue-lite element of the game.  

• Gather Intel, plan your assault, and adapt your strategy along the way. Fight your way through missions spread across 4 diverse locations, with each map reshaped by the game's Parametric Design System, offering new strategies and challenges with every play. 

Crowbar Collective is a group of developers best known for their work on Black Mesa, the fan-made remake of Valve’s Half-Life that was fully released in 2020 thanks to Valve approving its commercial release.

Rogue Point is Crowbar Collective’s way of converting into a full time development studio, and they paired with publisher Team 17 with their first new IP.

“We can’t thank Team 17 enough for their support and expertise.” Says CEO and Project Lead Adam Engels in a press release. “Just like Black Mesa, we want to heavily involve the community in our development and updates. Our community was critical in the Early Access of Black Mesa and having Team 17 as a partner for Rogue Point helps us focus on development and community feedback!” 

Rogue Point will be in Steam’s Early Access and they are targeting to be in Early Access for a year, though the developers won’t hesitate to increase or decrease the timeline.
