What is Roboquest?

A fast-paced first-person roguelite shooter set in a post-apocalyptic desert in 2700. Alone or in two-player online co-op, you run, jump, and shoot through randomly assembled levels, collect weapons and class upgrades, fight bosses, and spend wrenches on persistent basecamp upgrades. The story follows scavenger Max and a reactivated Guardian robot trying to help scattered human survivors.

+you like fast movement and demanding bullet-hell firefights
+you enjoy randomized runs with persistent progression
+you want solo play or two-player online co-op

Not for you if...

−you dislike repeating runs after defeat
−you want slow, methodical shooting

What players say

95% of 24,432 reviews are positive · 96% of 99 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the fast movement, responsive gunplay, soundtrack, and character builds. The most common complaint is frequent co-op disconnections with no way to rejoin an ongoing run, which can erase substantial progress.
