** You can also locate ''the'' strongest circuit board, Omni Tier 6.0, during the Detroit Arms Expo mission in [[https://imgur.com/a/rv1heg1 a drawer]]. That said, you can't make use of all of its special abilities without severely gimping the Auto-9's overall stats in the process, but if you just want to max out your full-auto BottomlessMagazines goodness, accept no substitutes.

''Franchise/{{RoboCop}}: Rogue City'' is a first-person shooter developed by Teyon (''VideoGame/TerminatorResistance'') and published by Nacon, released on October 31, 2023 for those who bought the Alex Murphy edition and released for everyone else on November 2, 2023. It takes place between ''Film/Robocop2'' and ''Film/Robocop3'', and features Creator/PeterWeller returning as the voice of the title character.

* GuideDangIt: The entire Auto-9 upgrade system is poorly explained. Aside from [[PermanentlyMissableContent how easy it is to miss]] many of the [=PCBs=] in the levels, especially the final 6.0 version, it never mentions that you can put any chip in any socket regardless of whether or not the connectors match up. That last part is crucial for avoiding the stat-reducing red nodes, so this would've been nice to let new players know. The system's second part, chip merging, gets no tutorial whatsoever despite being a massive trap due to its almost completely randomized outcomes and the limited amount of chips one can find in the game.

* SetAMookToKillAMook: Upgrading the Engineering skill enough allows Robo to hack enemy turrets (via his Dataspike) to set them loose on unsuspecting enemies. This can be used to great effect on both Wendell's mercenaries and the UED forces in the final missions.

* RelationshipValues: Several characters, namely [[spoiler:Dr. Blanche, Ulysses, Pickles, and Samantha Ortiz]], have "Appreciation" values that can influence what course of action they take in the game, and what ending they receive in the final {{Montage}}. The game also tracks your relationship with [[spoiler:the Old Man]], which determines whether or not [[spoiler:you can attempt to save him after the FinalBoss fight and allow him to go out on a VillainsDyingGrace RedemptionEqualsDeath moment.]] Finally, the game notes which Mayoral candidate you support throughout the game, with your choices able to determine the winner of the election.

* MundaneUtility: One of the powers that can be unlocked is a Dash, meant normally to stagger enemies. It also doubles handily as a dodge maneuver, allowing Robocop to get out of harm's way. [[spoiler:It's particularly good at evading the aim of Cobra Assault Cannons or the final boss' charging attack.]]

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: There's a side quest in a video store which has a poster for a Tron-like movie starring [[Creator/AngelinaJolie Angelina]] [[Creator/ScarlettJohansson Johansson]].

* IncompetenceInc: OCP for all of its seeming invincibility is actually something of a paper tiger. [[spoiler:It's running out of cash to the point that it can't finance it's big supervillain plots. Afterlife is running out of budget to handle the plan to make the Old Man immortal, Delta City is requiring large amounts of cost cutting as well as outright fraud, and it's products are as semi-functional as ever. Indeed, at the end, their mercs just abandon them because they aren't being paid.]]

* OminousWalk: Robocop has a heroic version as he moves very slowly throughout the game even if you can move him slightly faster to less a light jog and more, normal walking.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** The Nuke Cult's destruction doesn't do anything to disrupt the sale or trafficking of an incredibly popular drug. New distributors of the drug emerge in the Torch Heads after the fall of Cain.
** The Street Vultures are almost completely destroyed as a gang after Robocop destroys their HQ and bank vault, leading their leader to be on the run. It turns out that WeHaveReserves is a terrible attitude to have with criminals.
** As it turns out, running multiple shady operations is prohibitively expensive, [[spoiler:even for a flailing MegaCorp like OCP, which is forced to milk its dwindling funds dry while cutting as many costs and corners as possible just to try keeping afloat.]]

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: [[spoiler:OCP is revealed to be having a downfall-in-progress over the course of the story, with dwindling finances and increasingly desperate measures to keep itself afloat. Not to mention the Old Man roboticizing himself for a chance at prolonging his life. At the end of the game, its HQ is completely destroyed in the final battle.]]

** If you complete the "Who Killed Simon Page?" sidequest during the final (normal, non-riot) visit to Old Detroit, a mission which is purely investigative in nature, you'll acquire the game's strongest PCB circuit board for the Auto-9. Once upgraded fully, it gives Robo access to a Full-Auto, BottomlessMagazines, no-recoil handgun that's good enough to see you through the rest of the game.

** At the end of the second mission, [[spoiler:Lewis gets shot and severely injured courtesy of the New Guy, requiring her to go through surgery]]. Since this is an {{Interquel}} game, some of the tension is lessened by the fact that [[spoiler:she will obviously survive up to the third film]].

* CoolGuns:
** Robocop's iconic Auto-9 is the primary weapon for the entire game. It can be modded to tweak its stats, and given new abilities, such as explosive ammo, no recoil, full auto, or a high damage single shot, BottomlessMagazines, the ability to pierce armor and cover, and the ability for bullets to occasionally airbust near the target.
** Late game, the Cobra Assault Cannon makes its return. A scoped rifle that shoots high explosive bullets, capable of taking out half a dozen people in a single shot.

** Against more heavily armored mercenaries later in the game, it's actually more advisable to shot them here, as their armor is not as heavy int he leg/groin area.

* OhCrap: [[spoiler:During the final confrontation with Wendell, Robocop can tap into his mercernaries' radios. There you can hear Wendell, who taunts Robo over the PA system, acting like he's not at all concerned, panicking as Robocop shoots his way past each subsequent group of mercenaries, both of them growing more and more desperate as nothing they do seems to even slow down Murphy.]]

* TriumphantReprise: After being last heard during the opening mission, the Robocop theme returns [[spoiler:as Robocop shoots his way through Wendell's mercernaries and robots at the Delta City construction site. It returns again during the final boss fight.]]

** [[spoiler:Max Becker celebrates becoming the acting CEO of OCP by summoning some prostitutes with "Bitches, come," the same way Clarence Boddicker told the prostitutes to leave Morton's house in the original film.]]

* SetAMookToKillAMook: Upgrading the Engineering skill enough allows Robo to hack enemy turrets (via his Dataspike) to set them loose on unsuspecting enemies. This can be used to great effect on both Wendell's mercenaries and the UEP forces in the final missions.

* ToBeLawfulOrGood: A literal game mechanic as Robocop's decisions are primarily whether to "Obey the Law" or "Uphold the Public Trust." In general, being lawful gives you points in the former while doing good gives you points in the latter.

** Weirdly enough, averted with The Old Man, at least outside or Max Becker, most of the OCP employees seem to genuinely love the man, and he's noted for sending personal congratulations letters for employees who have been with the company for decades (one such employee declares the letter his most prized possession and wants it framed). [[spoiler:When he dies theres a large crowd of employees mourning him by his portrait]].

** The PCB circuit board minigame involves finding chips scattered throughout the game, such as in OCP Chests. Its introduction also has an engineer quipping about how it's more economical to find new use for old merchandise [[spoiler:which is a subtle hint at how OCP's in such dire straits that it's can't really afford to manufacture new chips]].

** This occurs again in the penultimate mission, when Robo, Lewis and Ulysses storm through a group of gang members to save the new Mayor. It also plays when Robo gains access to the Cobra Assault Rifle and a squad of goons starts charging at him.
