Rogue Trader is a classic, isometric RPG. Players take on the role of the newly elevated Rogue Trader of the von Valancius dynasty, and must chart a course among unknown stars to build their fortune and their fame. Along the way you’ll encounter heretical schemers, mysterious companions, and deadly adversaries. You’ll battle hand to hand, in the void of space, all while building your trading empire.
