It adopts the d100 Tabletop Role-Playing Game system, making the experience rich and intricate. As players dive into the universe, they take command of a party of six characters, including their own, maneuvering through ground battles and social interactions.

The game offers flexibility with a choice between real-time-with-pause and turn-based combat, providing strategic depth. What sets Rogue Trader apart is its unique emphasis on realm-building, where the decisions made by the player, embodying the titular Rogue Trader, ripple through the game, shaping their burgeoning space empire.
