What is ROBOBEAT?

This first-person rhythm shooter follows bounty hunter Ace as he pursues robot showman Frazzer through a techno-playground. You fight through procedurally generated levels, using wall runs, slides, and a grappling hook to stay mobile. Shooting in time with the music increases damage and reduces cooldowns; you can equip different weapons and modifiers or import your own songs.

For you if...

+you like fast shooting paired with movement and platforming
+you enjoy experimenting with weapons across changing runs

Not for you if...

−you prefer shooting without keeping time to music
−you dislike repeating procedurally generated combat stages
−you want slower combat with less constant movement

What players say
