Roboquest brings FPS Mayhem to PC Game Pass

roboquest is an insanely intense fast-paced FPS roguelite co-op cross-platform game that focuses on inventive gunplay action and precise movement. Our game is set in the year 2750 on a scorched planet where a young girl and desert raider named Max locates an intact Guardian robot. Step into the robot’s footsteps and take Max on an explosive journey through an ever-evolving series of vibrant cel-shadowed biomes – canyons, cities, and more – blasting the electric fill of countless enemy bots along the way.

We have been on in Open Development since 2020 roboquest. This style of development has given us the time we need to creatively evolve the game, leveraging feedback and recommendations from our growing community of players. We’ve been able to quickly iterate and test new features and weapons while constantly improving and balancing the game.

Back in June 2021, we announced that the game would be coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows platforms via Game Pass. From today, roboquest is available on PC Game Pass as a Game Preview title and is coming to Xbox Game Pass later this year.

When I say blazing fast gameplay, I mean blazing fast action. Movement is very important in the game – you need to dodge enemy hits and constantly push forward. When we started roboquest, we wanted a game that mixes fast-paced FPS combat with fresh art direction and roguelite elements in a highly polished, satisfying package that works. Players with a finely tuned eye and refined twitch-finger coordination will have a blast.

For example, in one of the biomes you will face off against increasingly efficient badbots and new bosses such as Billy Boom, Lady Bug and Sir Catercoaster. Enemy fire comes from multiple directions and heights at once, and you must be able to dodge, jump, and dodge the fire while blasting your enemies to pieces with pinpoint precision.

As you progress, you’ll earn new upgrade perks that allow you to build your character and weapons in a specific way that fits your style of chaos. roboquest features a large and ever-expanding array of upgrade options to create the perfect bot-blasting machine. Different combinations of perks will dramatically affect your playstyle, allowing you to play the way you want.

roboquest will be on Xbox and PC, and cross-platform play has always been a top priority. We want players to be able to jump into co-op play with friends, no matter what platform they’re on. As of now, you’ll use your friends list to find co-op partners, but in the future we’ll be adding random matchmaking to give anyone the ability to team up with others at any time. And we’re constantly tweaking platform balancing to ensure players have a great experience regardless of platform.

That’s it for now. We look forward to hearing from our PC Game Pass players as we move towards the release of Xbox Game Pass later this year.
