What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to put the game into the players’ hands as soon as possible and build the future of it with them.
Space, and especially Mars, has always generated great enthusiasm among gamers. As we want ROKH to be one of the most incredible online persistent experience, we can’t achieve that without the players’ input & feedback. On our side, this means strong support, fine-tuning existing features, frequent updates, and crazy upcoming features for our gameplay.
It allows us also to collect the fund to finalize the development and reach our high expectations for the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Based on our production calendar estimation, we aim to release the game in its final state in maximum 12 months following the Early Access release. But we will of course continue to update it, adding new content and mechanics after that.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The final version of the game will have more content and features. Our most ambitious upcoming features are a combat system, a complete in-game programming & hacking systems, craftable vehicles and a food growth system. These features should be added in the first major updates of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We’re currently entering our alpha phase. For Early Access release, players will enjoy a persistent multiplayer experience including ROKH’s major gameplay pillars: exploration on a huge Mars open-world, harvesting resources, deep modular crafting & building systems.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“According to the current scope we aim less than $30. Depending on the scope after Early Access and the size of the team to deliver it, we might slightly adjust the price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We consider that ensuring a strong bound between players and our team is a strategic point for the game’s future. We will establish effective tools on several channels to create direct links between players, developers and community managers. Our objective is to provide a great reactivity in terms of bug report, community feedback and features optimization. We also aim for a complete integration within Steam Workshop in future updates.”

About This Game

ROKH is a futuristic survival game, deeply rooted in scientific and realistic anticipation.


Players will have to work together to overcome the many threats they will have to face on planet Mars.

Created by team members behind Thief, Half Life 2, Dishonored, Age of Conan and Assassin’s Creed, ROKH is an adaptive survival game that is built on top of Unreal Engine 4 and deeply rooted in science. Players will land on Mars to find that the previously developed human colonies have been decimated and they must work together to overcome and survive. ROKH features a persistent world and co-op multiplayer.

In ROKH, players explore the Martian landscape as they scavenge through the deserted structures to gather the resources they need in order to survive. With few blueprints, they must use their ingenuity to create tools from a variety of materials and construct their own encampments with no design limitations - giving new meaning to “Assembly Required.”

ROKH is a complete immersion into a cold and dry land that harbors a wealth of resources to extract and exploit. Players will explore Mars, paving the way for settlers to come, as Earth’s resources are tapped and the planet is dying. Mars is hostile and joining forces with friends increases efficiency and invites trade and barter to develop a habitable, yet, customized ecosystem. ROKH is a mix of crafting, survival and exploration with an overarching story, that allows to freeform and build a colony how they want.

Early Access Key Features



TILE-BASED ASSEMBLY
ROKH features tile-based assembly inviting you to design and construct your habitat the way you want. Build on your own or work with others to create a fully customized, massive Martian colony. Clever builders will ensure their structures can support future add-ons to maximize resources.


ADAPTIVE SURVIVAL
Each and every one of your moves serves one goal: survive! You will need oxygen, food and water, and to protect yourself from heat, cold, radiation and injury. While Mars offers some accessible resources, you will need to be adaptive and creative to properly develop your colony.


A BEAUTIFUL AND DEADLY PLANET
Through Unreal Engine 4’s visual capabilities, you will explore the wonders of the red planet. From majestic dunes, biomes, crash sites, abandoned bases and frightening and deep valleys, you will visit a variety locations to find life-saving resources and uncover the mysterious demise of the first colonists. Mars is deadly and being outside on a frozen night or stuck in a sandstorm can lead to fatal results.


FREEFORM CRAFTING AND MODULARITY
Instead of classic blueprints, ROKH’s crafting system is based on modularity. Devices, tools and weapons are craftable and customizable, but must also serve your needs. Some crafted devices can be socketed into your walls to automate tasks, provide heavier defense systems, increase survivability, provide creature comforts and much more.
