Roboquest Is One Of The Highest-Rated Roguelites Of All Time, And It’s Cheaper Than Ever Right Now

If I put all of the games in my library together and found my favorite genre by hours played, the best roguelite games would come out on top. Dead Cells, The Rogue Prince of Persia, Noita, Reignbreaker, Returnal, and, of course, a little lesser-known game called Hades would all reign supreme as my Steam library’s most-played titles. One of those worthy of the list--perhaps one of the top three overall--would be Roboquest, an electrifying FPS that is currently cheaper than ever. As a roguelite connoisseur and someone whose little brain signals get happy when I get a decent build during a run, Roboquest isn’t just a simple entry in the genre. At first glance, the stylized visuals with a cartoon-like aesthetic don’t seem too distinct--there are plenty of other titles using that same art style--but Roboquest manages to capture the fun of building in each run with a meta-progression system that feels balanced yet rewarding. None of that “2% more damage when on fire and using this specific weapon” nonsense. Who likes that? Like any solid FPS experience, Roboquest makes the gunplay feel excellent.
