A Polished Up Roboquest Will Officially Launch Next Month

While Roboquest has one of the most bland names going, this FPS rogue-lite is worth a look if you’re into anything like Overwatch (the original), or the more recent MythForce. It’s pwetty.

Developed by RyseUp Studios and published by Starbreeze Entertainment, it’s been in Early Access for the past three years but is getting an official release next month featuring new levels, side quests, power-ups and a lot more.

Roboquest can be played solo or as a two-player co-op where you can customise your character with new weapons, base upgrades, plus permanent perks. Here’s what else to expect:

• Classes – up to 6 different classes with unique abilities and upgrades, slash up, dash in, rocketing, stealth in, drone up and more
• Diverse Arsenal – over 70 unique weapons ranging from your regular rifles and snipers to crossbows, bolters, gauntlets and much more for players to use as they blast their way through hordes of killer robots!
• Difficulty Levels – Levels of difficulty for everyone, even people not accustomed to FPS games. Ranging from “Discovery” to “Hard” and then way harder difficulty levels that you can unlock while playing the game
• Specialize your Gameplay – In-run upgrades to further customize your playstyle and find unique and powerful combinations
• Pesky Evilbots – over 70 enemies to dismantle and 10 big bad bosses guarding the way
• Quests and Secrets – Diversify your run objectives by exploring the levels and finding friendly robots and hidden secrets to unlock new movement capabilities and other unique upgrades
• Basecamp – Upgrade your basecamp and unlock permanent rewards to help you push further into the game each run
• Levels – Over 15 different levels, each with a dedicated banger track and visuals, and some with unique twists to them
• Comic-style Cinematics – Non gameplay-intrusive yet colorful and joyful cinematics to live your progression in the game and the story
• Data-Logs – Scour the levels and find pieces of lore about the world of Roboquest
• Achievements – Over 70 achievements
• Collect Enemies & Weapon cards – Takedown enemies and collect cards for both enemies and weapons to complete the in-game Museum
• Banger Soundtrack – Crafted with passion and dedication from the music composer Noisecream, a complete banger of a soundtrack will accompany you in your Roboquest.

Roboquest is available now in Early Access, but the official launch is on the 7th of November, and it’ll come to Steam, Epic Games Store, and GeForce Now – for those of you who migrated from Stadia.
