Editing Space Rogue (section)

== Gameplay ==
The game is played switching back and forth between a traditional [[Top-down perspective|top-down]] style [[role-playing video game|role-playing game]] (e.g. [[Ultima (series)|''Ultima'']]) and a 3D space combat simulator (e.g. [[Elite (video game)|''Elite'']]). Visiting starships, space stations, outposts, planets, and so on. The player is able to travel from one solar system to another using the ancient Malir Gates' wormhole, a form of 'Star Gate'. A [[minigame]] of travelling through rings must be successfully completed before the player can reach his intended system; a failed minigame will cause an aborted interstellar travel.

During the 3D space flight part of the game, the game offers 3 points of view: [[First-person (gaming)|first person]], [[Third-person (video games)|third-person]], and cinematic.

There is also an arcade game called "Hive!" in the bars, that can be played by the player. The gameplay is a 2D top-down [[Shoot 'em up|shooter]], with the player moving on foot, attacking the incoming Manchis. The ship in the arcade game resembled the Sunracer class ship featured in the manual that came with ''Space Rogue''. After completing five levels, the player can win money which can then be spent in the rest of ''Space Rogue''.
