Roboquest VR Launches on Steam on November 20th!

[p]We finally have our target locked. The fast-paced roguelite shooter arrives on Steam (and Playstation VR2) on November 20! You'll step into the role of a Guardian and blast through swarms of mechanical enemies across a scorched future world built for speed, agility, and experimentation.[/p][p]With more than seventy weapons to discover, every run is a chance to test new combinations and playstyles. Dual-wield pistols for slick takedowns, charge up rocket blasts, or dive into melee for up-close chaos. Each level is procedurally generated, keeping the combat fresh and unpredictable.[/p][p]Completely rebuilt for virtual reality, Roboquest VR features manual reloading, full weapon interaction, and support for future multiplayer co-op. This game is precision-tuned, physical, and built to be played again and again.[/p]

Launch Date Incoming!

[p]Hey Guardians,[/p][p]The wait’s almost over. We’re teaming up with Without Parole for a special PSVR2 Day livestream on Tuesday, November 4th at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET / 7:30pm GMT! That’s when we’ll reveal the Roboquest VR launch date. 👀 More details soon. Make sure you’re subscribed to Without Parole on YouTube and following our socials so you don’t miss it![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In the meantime…are you ready to get your hands dirty? The Roboquest arsenal is coming to VR: 70+ weapons rebuilt from the ground up to make every reload, recoil, and trigger pull feel alive.[/p][p]Weapons fall into five families: Assault, Precision, Technology, Demolition, and Close Combat. Each family brings its own flavor of fire, and in VR they demand more from your reflexes. [/p][p]
[/p][p]Some of our favorites:[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Minion Box (Technology) - Call in a Brobot with the big red button and let it shred![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Boomerang (Precision) - Master the throw and the return. Pros will stick the arc. Everyone else should practice.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Mini Cricket (Technology) - Send your enemies running (and yourself flying) with the power of this weapon. [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Mantis Crossbow (Precision) - Hear the satisfying “flink” as you loose each bolt and seat a new one to reload.[/p][h3]Built for VR[/h3][p]Every weapon is tuned for presence and feel with two-handed handling, tactile reloads, and real recoil. You’ll feel it when the barrel bucks and your hands fight to keep control.[/p][p]Whether you’re spraying, sniping, or setting the world on fire, the arsenal in Roboquest VR is all about power, precision, and physicality.[/p][p]So, Guardian, what will be your weapon of choice?[/p][p]– The Roboquest VR Team[/p][p]
