[h3]In preparation for our big launch today, we’ve injected ROBOBEAT with a little new blood…[/h3]



We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with New Blood Interactive to bring you two extra in-game tracks and the epic BEATSLAYER Bundle!

We’ve added two more super secret rooms to ROBOBEAT, one themed after ULTRAKILL and one themed after DUSK. In each room, you’ll find a cassette containing one iconic track from each game.

Which tracks will they be?

You’ll just have to discover the secret rooms and find out for yourself.

We’re warning you though, these rooms are extremely difficult to find, so keep your eyes peeled for any high platforms, subtle clues, or sneaky holes in the wall!

Alongside the secret rooms and cassettes, we’ve also prepared the ultimate bundle for FPS players who love smooth movement, wonderfully weird weapons, and the undeniable thrill of dying repeatedly.

The BEATSLAYER Bundle will include:

ROBOBEAT, a roguelite rhythm shooter where you take on the role of robo-gunslinger Ace as he hunts down the chaotic showman Frazzer. Wall run, slide, and bunny hop your way through Frazzer’s ever-shifting lair, and shoot in sync to the music to maximize your damage. Uncover new cassettes to use as you play, or march to the beat of your own drum by uploading your tracks using the custom music feature and playing with the songs you love!

ULTRAKILL, a fast-paced ultraviolent retro FPS combining the skill-based style scoring from character action games with unadulterated carnage inspired by the best shooters of the '90s. Rip apart your foes with varied destructive weapons and shower in their blood to regain your health.

DUSK, a retro FPS where you’ll have to battle through an onslaught of mystical backwater cultists, possessed militants, and even darker forces as you attempt to discover just what lurks beneath the Earth.

If you already own ULTRAKILL, DUSK, and/or ROBOBEAT, you’ll still be able to take advantage of the bundle. Instead of buying the full bundle, however, you’ll be given the option to complete the set and receive a 10% bundle discount on the other games, which will stack with any other discounts that are available on the games at the time!

Grab the BEATSLAYER Bundle now and get lost in a ballad of bloodshed.

We're also running an exclusive giveaway where we'll be giving away a free copy of the BEATSLAYER bundle to 3 lucky winners! To find out more, check out our giveaway announcement here.

[h3]Nothing beats the feeling of listening to your favorite playlist on an endless loop 🎧

We’re excited to announce that Robobeat has been selected to feature in Endless Replayability Fest, which will run from today until Monday May 20th![/h3]

Our demo will be live throughout the event, so you can try out the custom music feature and loop through the endless mode as you slide and shoot your way through an army of psychedelic robots.

If the demo doesn’t quite cut it though, you won’t have to wait for too long, because we’ll be launching the full game on May 14th!

So why are we featuring in this event?

Although Robobeat is a rhythm shooter at its core, it also has a number of roguelike features. Rather than having conventional difficulty settings, you’ll need to navigate levels that gradually scale up in difficulty.

For example, the first level only contains a section called The Passage and is set to easy difficulty. Once you clear that level, you’ll unlock the medium difficulty level, where you’ll need to run through The Passage again at a higher difficulty before moving to a new area known as The Gallery. In short, once you complete the level for a certain difficulty, you unlock the level for the next difficulty, which also unlocks one new area!

On top of that, each new run through will allow you to find blueprints for new weapons and abilities, and to gain a currency called Blips, which you can use to unlock the items you’ve found blueprints for. When you start each new run, the weapons and upgrades you receive will be randomised based on what you’ve already unlocked.

In short, each run is bound to bring something new, which means the possibilities are truly endless!

Just try to keep your DPS (Deaths Per Session) to a minimum 💀



[h3]There’s only one day left until Robobeat officially launches!

ROBOBEAT is the third one of these new-fangled rhythm FPS games I’ve played - after BPM: Bullets Per Minute and Metal: Hellsinger - and the first one I’ve actually clicked with. The concept evidently appeals to me enough to try out those other two, but I guess that I’m simply too much of a rebel-maverick-disruptor to play to the stiflingly enforced rhythms of somebody else’s drum. Something about ROBOBEAT’s roguelike shooting feels different though.
