About Rocket Rats

Rocket Rats drops you onto a moon where cheese‑based critters attack in waves. As a rat you blast the enemies with guns, collect cheese, and try to survive each successive surge.

Cheese you gather can be spent on permanent upgrades that sit in skill trees, and a variety of rat avatars become unlockable as you keep playing.

01 / THE GUIDE

Survivors‑style Wave Combat

Each run presents a series of enemy waves that attack you on the moon. The description stresses that the critters are “cheese‑based” and that players must avoid being swarmed.

Success relies on handling the growing number of foes while continuing to extract cheese. The wording implies a focus on staying alive through increasingly dense attacks.

  • Watch the first few waves to gauge how quickly enemy numbers increase.
  • Keep movement options open so you can retreat when the horde threatens to overwhelm you.

02 / THE GUIDE

Cheese‑Based Upgrades and Skill Trees

Cheese collected during a run can be spent on permanent upgrades that sit within skill trees. The source lists options such as Star Allies, Lightning summoning, and Poison debuffs.

These upgrades are described as ways to “improve your stats” and to suit a player’s preferred playstyle, indicating that multiple offensive or supportive choices exist.

  • Try a defensive‑oriented upgrade first to see how it changes wave survivability.
  • Mix an offensive upgrade with a utility one to test different synergy possibilities.

03 / THE GUIDE

Unlockable Rat Characters

The game offers several rat avatars—nerdy rodent, battered soldier, mecha‑rat, and more—that become unlockable through play. The description lists them as unlockable characters players can acquire over time.

Because the characters are “unlockable,” players can acquire them over time, adding variety to the roster of playable rats.

  • Play a run with each unlocked rat to compare how the visual style feels.
  • Focus on unlocking one new character at a time to keep track of progress.

04 / THE GUIDE

Full Controller Compatibility

Rocket Rats lists Full controller support and specifically mentions DualShock and DualSense controllers. This confirms the game can be operated with standard console gamepads on PC.

No other input methods are detailed, so the presence of controller support suggests the game offers a playable experience for players who prefer gamepads.

  • Test both a DualShock and a DualSense controller to see which feels more comfortable for aiming.
  • If aiming feels off, check whether the game offers any adjustment options.

05 / THE GUIDE

Steam Integration Features

The title integrates with Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing. Achievements give defined goals, while Cloud and Family Sharing are listed as platform features.

Because only the feature names are provided, we can state that the game works with those Steam services without specifying what data is synchronized.

  • Browse the achievement list to identify optional challenges you might enjoy.
  • Enable Steam Cloud in the client settings if you want the game to use the service.
