Roboquest Blasts onto PlayStation 5 with Overwhelmingly Positive Reviews

2025-03-23 03:41:20

The highly-acclaimed co-op roguelite shooter, Roboquest, is launching on PlayStation 5 on May 27th. This marks the first time players on the Sony platform can experience the fast-paced, robot-blasting action that has garnered 'Overwhelmingly Positive' user reviews on Steam. Developer RyseUp Studios is likely anticipating another wave of positive reception as the game reaches a wider console audience.

Roboquest joins the ranks of numerous successful roguelite titles that continue to captivate players with innovative gameplay.  While sharing core elements like procedurally generated levels and randomized loot drops with games like Hyper Light Breaker, Roboquest distinguishes itself with a vibrant aesthetic and frenetic combat style.

This unique roguelite shooter boasts an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' average review score on Steam and is set to energize PlayStation 5 players starting May 27th. Featuring procedural generation and 2-player online co-op, Roboquest encourages teamwork, although local multiplayer is not currently planned.

Roboquest's wave-based PvE modes keep players constantly engaged, offering little respite between rooms teeming with robotic adversaries.  Players can enhance their stats with upgrades found throughout the levels, boosting weapon damage, movement speed, and other crucial attributes to prepare for challenging boss encounters that conclude each section of the randomly generated maps.

Drawing comparisons to shooter Risk of Rain 2, Roboquest provides a variety of character classes, each with unique stats and abilities that can synergize effectively in co-op mode.  A customizable base camp allows players to unlock permanent buffs and other improvements that will prove invaluable throughout their robotic battles.

For avid collectors, Roboquest offers a limited physical release in America through VideoGamesPlus and in Europe via Strictly Limited, including a Deluxe Edition at an additional cost. In the meantime, players looking for similar co-op experiences can explore other titles, such as the well-regarded platformer Split Fiction.
