Hello Guardians!

Starting now and for two weeks, Roboquest is part of the Summer Sales on Steam and is 20% off!

Additionally, we were lucky enough to be featured in Steam's Summer Sale trailer!





Aside from that, we're currently working on the next update which will contain one new feature for weapons:

We're adding the possibility to "filter" weapons you already collected the card of.

How does it work?

You have a total of 12 filters and can consume 1 to either double the chance of looting a specific weapon or to completely prevent it from dropping.

This feature will be unlocked through a quest.

We'll share some visuals later down the road.



We also have a few other things in the oven, but nothing to show just yet but we'll be back for a devblog discussing the details of those new things.

That's it for this short news, we wish you all the best Summer and may the revenge of Superbot be extra vengey for you!

Hello Guardians!

The Super Update is now LIVE and available on Steam, Xbox Gamepass, Microsoft Store, Epic Game Store and GOG.

Roboquest is also at 20% off for two weeks! (up until the 20th of June).

Find below the highlights of the update and find the detailed patch-notes here.

For those of you who followed our news on Steam or Discord, you already read through our highlights in our previous devblog.

And we packed a small video to walk you through them:


For everyone else, here are the highlights of the Super Update:


A new quest awaits you: the Revenge of Superbot.

In the "Super Update", a couple of friendly robots you've already come across will have a new interaction available.

Helping those friendly bots will unlock a brand new class…





You will be able to play as Superbot, as soon as you complete the quest "Revenge of Superbot".

Superbot is a slightly different class, obviously and to start off he's very tiny. But he also can't equip weapons (instead he eats them)! He also has a bunch of mandatory gadgets that you can't disable when playing as him.

There are other unique traits but we'll let you discover them.





With the addition of Superbot, you will be able to enjoy a brand new cutscene of him!




We added a new level using "Haven City" biome.

This level is a new alternative path for Act 3 (which was only straightforward before) and it allows us to hide a bunch of new stuff in there (Data-Logs mainly but not only).

In addition, it also gives more variety when replaying and opens up a new path for speedrunners.






You may find a new unique weapon (unique as like the Fox Gun or the Shovel) in the game.

It is a giant living sword known as Captain Mc Slice.

It also happen to be part of Superbot's own arsenal.



That's it for the highlights of the Super Update.

Find the detailed patch-notes here.

Happy robot smashing Guardians!

This time around, the patch-notes is quite light as most of our changes are the additions you've already (probably) read through in our highlights section.

Find the release announcement and highlights section here.

Watch the highlights video:


Here's the patch-note:





• Added a new quest to unlock Superbot
• Added a new cutscene available once you've completed the new quest
• Added 3 new data-logs
• Added 5 new achievements related to Superbot


• Added Superbot as a playable class

Developers' Notes: It will only be available once you completed the new quest.

• Added a new weapon called 'Captain Mc Slice', it is a powerful heavy blade that can be picked up at run start once you've discovered it in a certain level (pretty much like the Shovel)


• Added a new level called 'Harmony Square', it can be accessed through 'Haven City' under certain conditions
• Diversified the enemy pool in 'Aqua Station' in difficulty levels Guardian 2, 3 and 4
• Added a 'Goliath Slug' in the path from 'Aqua Station' to 'Fusion Core'


• Added a new quality of life settings called 'Infinite Music', this is unchecked by default and you may check it to make sure the music never turns off, even when you haven't fought enemies for a while
• Added the possibility to toggle Sprint Mode with a keyboard/mouse input when playing with hybrid controls


• The Transformer-Toy summon now properly appears for the other player when you pick it

Developers' Notes: This is the second time we're fixing this, but it is for real this time.

• Dropping a weapon in multiplayer no longer has a chance to make it disappear forever
• The final door in front of IRIS is now properly interactable by both players in all cases
• Spending a Crystal Powder in a level will no longer prompt the Crystal Powder end screen when completing it
• Fixed a texture streaming issue causing the 'Crystal Claimed' texture to display a white square when completing a corrupted level
• Credits will properly scroll to the end again
• Enemies have their proper texture when watching them in the Museum

Hello Guardians!

Prepare yourself.

Superbot will be landing in all its botly revenge tomorrow around 3pm (GMT+1) (6th of June).

Welcome Guardians!

Like promised in our Superbot announcement, we're back for more news on the topic.

This is Devblog #15 aka the Super Devblog.



Today we'll be breaking down the additions coming into the Super Update.

Let's powerslide right in.

We'll be giving you the accurate release date when we have it.




We just updated our roadmap for 2024.



As you can see, in addition to the different plans we had before, we have a new update planned.

For now its codename is the "Cells" update and it will land somewhere in Autumn.

Obviously we can't share any details on the topic for now as we're focused on completing the Super Update.




That's it Guardians.

We hope you're as excited as we are about the Super Update!

As usual, we wish you the best robot-smashing experience and hope you can soon jump into the tiny steel shoes of Superbot.

Hello Guardians!

We've just released a hotfix for the Arsenal update, v1.2.1.

Here are the list of changes for this hotfix:
• Removed instances of situations where you'd spawn within the ground in the basecamp
• Fixed a crash occurring when the client player would unlock the Sunglasses and get back to the basecamp
• Fixed a crash occurring when the host player starts the game right after their brobot has joined
• Fixed a crash occurring when a brobot would join while the host is generating fury points in the practice range as the Commando
• The Gorilla Bolter can no longer roll the Buckshot affix twice
• Not finishing Doom Gardens before the timer expires will no longer result in a end-screen showcasing a Crystal Powder gain
• Deactivated the difficulty selection while searching for a quickplay
• You can no longer be stuck with the pause menu open when combining several inputs in a row with the gamepad
• Fixed a bug with the Yoyo item not properly working
• The Transformer-Toy summon now properly appears for the other player when you pick it
• Fixed a bug with the Mini-Cricket not shooting exactly on your crosshair
• Fixed an issue with the Mini-Cricket not shooting at the usual maximum range for all weapons (50m) - its fall-off range is still at 12m
• If you added a perfumed affix to your unique weapon (Handgun, The Shovel or Buddy Bot), Smithing Ted will no longer remove it when upgrading it to Fantastic in the Oasis

That's it for the hotfix, happy robot smashing everyone!

Hello Guardians!



The Arsenal update is free and is the first real content update of the year following our roadmap.

I wonder what could be in the Super update? Surely something super...

We've put together a video to give you a quick overview of the highlights of this update, find it here:






Here are the highlights of the Arsenal update.

We've added 9 brand new weapons to the game. Some of them are hommages to the things we love (and that fit Roboquest) and others are just designs we felt were missing.

• Missile Battery - We had a minigun but we didn't have a ROCKET minigun.




• Rapier - En garde!




• Sling Gun - And the stone goes boom!




• Minion Box - Raise my minions!




• Mini Cricket - We liked that gun from a famous movie with aliens. Such boomer times.




• Gauss Rifle - Pro Quake player, anyone?




• Bee Cannon - A mysterious vacuum that shoots bees.




• Boomerang - Whoosh in and whoosh out.




• Shuriken - For all the robot-ninja mains out there (you know who I'm talking about).



Two new friendly robots are coming!

Willy Wonder and Burger Bill.

Willy Wonder is a kind and swormy merchant who can upgrade your weapons' rarity (granting them access to more affixes) at the cost of Powercells. In addition, he also has access to all sorts of perfumes to grant 1 additional affix to your weapons.

Willy Wonder has to be unlocked through a Basecamp upgrade.

Look at that handsome fella!


The second one is Burger Bill.

He's been voted Employee of the month for more than a century now, so you'll be in good care with him.

Burger Bill doesn't do anything in particular for you. But he runs the Training Range.

Unfortunately, he's been missing recently and as a result the Training Range is closed!

Help find him! If not for him, do it at least so you can enjoy his company!

We added a Training Range in the Basecamp.

Initially, you only have access to Punching-Bot (to measure your DPS).

But once you've found Burger Bill, he will bring back its former glory to the Training Range and you will be granted access to:
• A Weapon Vending Machine to spawn any weapon you have the card of
• A Soda Machine to upgrade your weapon
• A Shooting Range with little dummy targets and a banger soundtrack

The Crystal Powder is a new resource that can only be found at the end of Corrupted Levels you've already completed.

Upgrading a weapon from Epic to Fantastic at Willy Wonder's shop will require a Crystal Powder.

We hope that this addition will give incentive to update your route when progressing through the game, effectively promoting a more varied game experience.

We've implemented a new keyword in this update: Summon.

Various effects in the game now directly reference Summon and the action of "Summoning".

That means that you now have options to opt-into builds that directly reinforce and grant new bonuses to your army of minions!

In addition, all the multiplayer-only items now trigger off your wonderful "summons".

Finally we added a bunch of new options to toggle certain UI elements and other quality of life changes.




And that's it for the highlights of this patch!

If you want to read the full patch-note, head over there.

The Arsenal Update is live and available now so we hope you're ready to kick some metal ass!

Here are the patch-notes for the 1.2 version of Roboquest: the Arsenal Update.

Find the release announcement here.






• New resource: Crystal Powder
• Crystal Powder can be acquired at the end of levels containing a Corrupted Crystal you've already claimed
• Crystal Powder is used to increase a weapon's rarity from Epic to Fantastic in the new friendly robot Willy Wonder (view in the Friendly Robots section later)
• New keyword: Summon
• Summoning is the action of deploying allies like drones, decoy, sentry turrets and everything else that is tagged as Summon in its description
• Several ingame elements such as Perks and Items grants bonus effects to your Summons
• Reworked several parts of the code to make sure your summons apply your additional effect like "marking burns"





• Several perks have been reworked to now include the Summon keyword





• New weapons:
• Missile Battery - We had a minigun but we didn't have a ROCKET minigun.
• Rapier - En garde!
• Sling Gun - And the stone goes boom!
• Minion Box - Raise my minions!
• Mini Cricket - We liked that gun from a famous movie with aliens. Such boomer times.
• Gauss Rifle - Pro Quake player, anyone?
• Bee Cannon - A mysterious vacuum that shoots bees.
• Boomerang - Whoosh in and whoosh out.
• Shuriken - For all the robot-ninja mains out there (you know who I'm talking about).
• The damage of summons deployed by alt-fires has been increased by 15% per weapon level to 20% per weapon level

• Increased Puncture damage bonus from 50% to 75%
• Decreased Cadence firerate bonus from 15% to 10%
• Fragmentation reworked, now works as Buckshot but sends a volley of explosive projectiles

Developers' Note: Fragmentation always felt awkward and a bit misplaced due to its graphical implementation and its projectile speed. Replacing it with something that propels several projectiles similar to its origin weapon will probably feel better overall and works best for us in terms of balancing and implementation. Beware Kaboom Buckshot!

• Interceptor - Bonus damage against flying enemies

Primary Fire

Primary Fire
• Damage decreased from 18.0 to 8.5

• Magnet now marks nearby enemies instead of shocking them

Developers' Note: And we changed its icon color, because you know, it no longer shocks.

• Cheese jetpack bonus duration increased from 1.5s to 2s
• Phone Charger now also increases your summon health
• Heart Necklace now also increases your armor if a summon is nearby
• Candle now only increases burn damage (moved the explosion part on a new item)

Developers' Note: The "burn or explosion" part of the description was always confusing for players so we're splitting that into two items.

• Lottery Luke will now appear in multiplayer for both players if at least one of them has unlocked it





• Increased base health of Goliath Cruiser from 660 to 720





• Replaced the Goliath Destroyer by a Goliath Cruiser in Fields

Developers' Note: While it is fun to have some kind of "bouncer" to mark the beginning of the second act, this one was taking its job a tad too seriously.

The first one being that Superbot can not use weapons, instead, he eats them!

But not all of them...


That's it for this quick update, but stay tuned! We'll be back with more news regarding Superbot and Roboquest in general!
