Rokh is a futuristic survival game, deeply rooted in scientific and realistic anticipation, where players will have to work together to overcome the numerous menaces they will have to face on planet Mars. It is a persistent multiplayer game where everything proceeds from simulation and systems interaction instead of classic script-based interaction.

Oxygen, food, water, life will have to be cautiously manage but crafting items will allow you to spend more time out there and protect yourself. Build your base alone or with your crew to get better chance of living the big life on this hostile planet. Trade with other players and do your best to maintain peace, you would not want to fight with you fellows on such a hostile environment...
After a canceled kickstarter campaign earlier this year, Darewise Entertainment has decided to delay its planned September Early Access launch until January 2017 to ensure that the game delivers on the initial vision of the experience, universe and gameplay.
“ROKH is our first project and we do not lack of ambition. The game systems are so deep and connected that we want to take the time needed to ensure the entire experience and mechanics work as intended. It was not an easy decision but we believe it’s the best one for the game as well as the players.” said Benjamin Charbit, Darewise’s CEO. “The Early Access scope is at its final stage of development, and we are proud of the work done so far, which you’ll be able to enjoy in our very first gameplay trailer”, added Marc Albinet Rokh’s game director at Nvizzio Creations.
The community will be invited to register to join the Closed Alpha and provide feedback on balancing beginning December and until release. Founders will be guaranteed into the first sessions.
Rokh is designed for a complete immersion into a cold and dry land harboring a wealth of resources that pioneering colonists can extract and exploit. The ambitious exploration of the 150 square miles’ map based on data collected by NASA, offers breathtaking vistas setting the stage for settlers to aim for self-sufficiency and develop their own life support systems and economy.
