ALEX MURPHY IS BACK.
If Rogue City was RoboCop’s triumphant return to gaming, Unfinished Business is his blood-soaked encore- shorter, meaner and focused on what the franchise does best: blowing scumbags to bits.
Developed by Teyon as a standalone expansion to Rogue City, this follow-up doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but reinforces it with steel armour, and a couple of rocket launchers.
ONE TOWER, ONE MISSION.
Set shortly after the events of Rogue City, Unfinished Business sees RoboCop investigating a massacre at the Metro West police station.
The trail then leads to OmniTower, a high-tech residential monolith, crawling with mercenaries, drones and cyborg ninjas. The entire campaign unfolds within this vertical warzone.
There is no open world to this first-person shooter, just a ruthless ascent through different floors of chaos in the OmniTower.
“Dead or alive, you’re coming with me.”
RoboCop stomps and wades through the levels of the OmniTower like a walking tank, dishing out slow-motion law and order with his Auto-9 and a growing arsenal of new weapons, and upgrades.
Unfinished Business builds on the original foundation of Rogue City, introducing fresh enemy types, and an expanded arsenal of new weapons and gadgets for players to experiment with.
Enhanced upgrade options further diversify the gameplay loop, injecting each level with challenges that demand tactical flexibility.
These additions add variety to each level and forces players and RoboCop to adapt their tactics to deliver effective justice.
“Somewhere there is a crime happening.”
Much like Rogue City, Unfinished Business include an array of side quests and investigations that let players dig deeper into the criminal underbelly of dystopian Detroit.
These diversions serve as moral dilemmas, investigative tasks and citizen interactions that break up the main campaign’s linear relentless gunplay.
While these tasks don’t impact the overarching narrative, they enrich the world-building and encourage players to pause, explore and absorb the gritty atmosphere.
For trophy hunters, achievement chasers, and completionists, these side missions are more than just filler- they are essential towards 100% justice.
Gameplay: Familiar, fun, but slightly repetitive
Unfinished Business sticks close to its predecessor. RoboCop stops through corridors, blasts enemies with his Auto-9, and delivers law and order to those asking for it.
The gunplay remains satisfying, new weapons like the Cryo-Cannon. RoboCop can pick up enemies and throw them at each other, which is always fun.
The variety of weapons and combat abilities makes the combat engaging and satisfying for a while.
The core gameplay loop, however, rarely deviates from “enter room, shoot everything.”
While this suits RoboCop’s mechanical nature, it risks becoming repetitive, especially for players craving more tactical depth and variety.
Movement is stiff and rigid, fitting and appropriate for RoboCop; but noticeably clunky when stacked against the fluidity of modern first-person shooters.
After storming through a room full of enemies and clearing them out with a mix of precision shots and explosive justice, it does feels earned.

RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business clocks in at around 6-10 hours, depending on your playstyle. The expansion doesn’t just add content, it’s a shorter, sweeter experience that ramps up the challenge, diversifies the action and perfect for any RoboCop fan.
The DLC isn’t bloated with any filler or distracted by side fluff. Instead, it delivers a focused, doubled down, satisfying extension of the core experience, with enough new weapons, enemies and tactical shooting to keep things fresh.
The DLC understands exactly what the audience wants, and delivers what it promises: more RoboCop, more justice, more explosions.
While the game includes fast-paced action, combat and a linear story. It often revolves around entering a room full of law-breaking foes, which RoboCop must eliminate and uphold the law.
It’s fast, it’s furious, and it’s unapologetically old-school. RoboCop doesn’t evolve, he enforces.
