This is a recommendation, but with a lot of qualifiers. Rogue Squadron 3D is almost a masterpiece, but the game itself has one critical and fundamental flaw, and this PC port has issues that you will want to correct to get the most out of the game. On the PC Port: While this version of the game did run out of the box for me, it does have various bugs. Some are just visual (e.g. particle effects being incorrectly sized), while others cause serious problems for gameplay (e.g. the camera lagging way too far behind the ship.) There is a [url=https://github.com/horkrux/wingman]kind of sketchy DLL hack you can download here which fixes all the most important issues . It is essential to playing the PC port in 202X. I also personally run [url=https://dege.fw.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/]dgVoodoo on top of this to run the game in a window, which allows me to take screenshots and is much more robust to alt-tabbing (though it does occasionally still crash), but this is optional. On the game itself: Rogue Squadron is almost a masterpiece. I love playing this game not just because it's fun, but it's also such a great lesson in making so much game with so little. The missions are fun, simple, varied, and when you want a challenge, getting the golds on all the missions will keep you occupied for a while. It's wonderful. It's charming. It's focused. It doesn't overstay its welcome. The problem? The flying around is extremely bad. I've always had this problem with this series, but 3D is the most egregious by far. The controls are unpredictable in their motions and most telling of a fundamental technical error driving all this is that you can actually [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimbal_lock]gimbal lock the ships if you fly up or down. You will eventually learn to work your way around these controls, but that doesn't excuse the fundamentally broken feeling you get playing the game. Even watching gameplay of others is frustrating because you can see how they're also struggling with the controls.
Despite being over twenty-five years old and having some jank, Rogue Squadron 3D still holds up incredibly well. With a good variety of ships, fun levels, great art design, and unique environments, there is a lot to love about Rogue Squadron 3D. Moreover, even though the story is nothing special, being able to see a glimpse into the rebellion post-Empire in the final level was a nice touch. Yet, even though the game itself is great, the Steam release leaves a lot to be desired. With basically no improvements to make the game run properly on modern systems, poor mouse controls, and a lack of proper widescreen support, I do wish more had been done to make the Steam release more up-to-date. However, even though there are some issues on the tech side of things, the game itself is still fantastic and absolutely worth a try.
It works just fine on SteamOS. I am using GE-Proton and have zero graphical issues. Setting up controls is a bit of work (especially missing the Esc-button with the standard config). The game is in 4:3 (as it should be). The famous bug, where the ship flies away from the camera can be circumvented if you adjust the view at the begining of every level. This game is perfect for Steam Deck!
I was surprised how fun this is in 2026. Xbox controller works just fine, it's perfectly playable on keyboard as well. There are some difficulty spikes here and there, and the game is not easy by any meaning, but if you don't mind not earning all the medals and just play it for the campaign, it's a blast and you can get through once you figure out what's what. There's some storyline which is okay I guess, but the vibe of Star Wars and some of the world-building underneath it is actually good. A very nice surprise for me, technical state is fine, I even avoided the infamous camera bug somehow despite not touching any of the setting or applying fixes or whatnot.
Was fun getting to go back to this game since the N64 days, HOWEVER, the camera was a tougher enemy than anything the Empire could throw at me. For some reason the camera likes to just let your ship fly away and get etremely far from cam. The only way to fix this is to either play entirely in 1st person, or switch camera views multiple times during a mission, and even then, it doesn't really fix the issue, just puts a band-aid on it for a little. Still had fun and finished the game though.
