Roboquest is a fast-paced FPS roguelite game where you play as a rebooted Guardian, ready to kick some metal ass!

Roboquestis a crazy fast FPS Roguelite that places an emphasis on inventive gunplay action and precise movements. A cell-shaded comic-style shooter with blazing gameplay, single and co-op action, and a futuristic story.

Well, the year is 2700. Climate change and wars have changed the face of the world that we currently know. Humans live scattered throughout the desert, struggling to survive. 

A young scavenger girl named Max stumbles across an old Guardian robot, lying abandoned in the sand. She activates him, knowing that possession of a Guardian will give her an advantage at surviving.

Turning on the old Guardian kicks off a dangerous journey that will take the unlikely pair from dangerous canyons to vast cities searching for answers to mysteries that may save humankind. It will be difficult. Badbots and their bosses will stop at nothing to protect the secrets that could decide the fate of humankind.

Jump into the steel shoes of a high-powered, hyper-mobile robot and wreak havoc on evil bots. Battle your way through procedurally generated biomes on an unrecognizable earth.

Scorched canyons and vivid cities are packed with secrets to unearth, upgrades, and enemies to eradicate. Destroy every laser-shooting Badbot and boss that stands in your way. Choose from an arsenal of more than 70 unique handcrafted weapons. Gather powerful technology. Upgrade abilities and customizations for your character and basecamp.
