RoboQuest - A Masterclass In Doom Inspired Roguelites | Trav Guy

[@russellmarch4983]

the fact that the friends list is renamed to "Brobots List" is what convinced me that the game is a 10/10. It's just full of charm everywhere you look... Now if only I could find a really good guide for all the secrets...

Ranger is still my favorite class since they added him, javelins are badass, they pierce multiple targets, and they can also get the marking ability that assault's shotgun can get

[@dermanater]

every weapon can get a marking ability, that's how affixes work

[@thermae5419]

He's also just incredibly overpowered

[@phonkydude1618]

And you can make the jabelins fucking explode everytime you go invisible and also you can make that the invisibility doesn't go when you shoot and on top of that you get bonus damage, is fucking beutifaul.

[@W1KTORious]

I like to be a madman with the recon using the electric (or ice) cutlass

[@uptownneighbor3719]

I started playing this game back in July 2022 and yeah this game has seen lots of changes, like the core system changed to the item system which is a HUGE life quality in change of the player wanted to swap different weapons, some new classes and weapons like the inspired bolter gun from warhammer 40k (one of my favorite guns to use)

[@light819]

I just wish it would appear more often in my runs

[@samedwards3186]

I found Roboquest organically a couple days ago and immediately got addicted. Love the gameplay loop and gun variety

[@connorchappelle2213]

fun fact you can get buckshot affix on the hatchet. And yes, I do love just throwing axes until occasionally saying "Screw it!" and throwing the entire backback full of axes at a single dude.

[@mrkust]

5:27 movement is slow because you don't use slide + jump as often as necessary. You don't even rocetjump, I think this should be illegal.

[@monke9326]

thank you! i thought the same thing. idk HOW he can convince himself that a movement based game is supposed to be slow

[@space_goat_v1337]

yeah he says he only does it out of combat but if you slide in combat it makes the enemies miss more (which is practically required on bosses), plus jumping out of a slide keeps the momentum in the air so it's like bunny hopping.

[@emoment1088]

So basically, as burn damage is applied from a weapon that deals burn damage, it increases the damage per tick each time. Really fun to grab something fast shooting like a Hurricane Rifle or either type of minigun eith burn, and then just melt healthbars immediately from basically any range. Orbital or Ram shotguns also work amazingly with burn

[@metallicafan416]

Also if burn damage is a permanent affix it's stronger than burn as a affix that can be reroled.

[@monke9326]

the movement isnt slow.. you are slow. Auto Sprint in settings. Jetpack and GrappleHook and Slide jumping makes it really fast. haven’t played slow since i got the game pre 1.0

[@monke9326]

okay im further in the video now and you are convinced the movement is supposed to be slow… ugh

[@smurfeh82]

How do you go 25 minutes talking about Roboquest without mentioning the incredible soundtrack by Noisecream? Seriously, the OST is at least half of why I like this game so much and you not talking about it is a real shame

[@N_mandub]

Agreed. That was indeed a nice electronic music album that comes with a free game.

[@davidjacobson6791]

Wow! I didn’t even know about the buttons for the Laser Grid puzzle! I just used the Guardian class’s shield and sprinted straight through and it blocked all the damage. 😂😂😂 I totally thought I did it the way the game intended, but it sounds like I colored a little outside of the lines!

[@Fokusnuss]

Alrighty so: ive been playing this game for a LONG time. Ive been around with this game back when the hub world was just a bunch of crafting station looking thingies in a pit and when you started your run on a holographic map and i want to make a point to say: This game is NOT slow. Sure, you CAN play it slow and steady wich is often the less risky and straight forward route. but you can also start bunnyhopping directly into and arena of enemies, dodging bullets with sheer speed and taking out anything infront of you with a fricking sword! You can ROCKET JUMP DIRECTLY TOWARDS AN ENEMY AND HIT HIM SQUARE IN THE FACE WITH A SHOVEL (obvious reference lol), you can GAIN A SPEED BUFF WITH EVERY ENEMY YOU HIT UNTIL YOURE LIKE A SUPER SONIC JET SLICING AND DICING THROUGH ENEMIES, you can STACK UP ON ATTACK SPEED BUFFS AND EQUIP THE POWER GLOVES TO JOJO THE EVERLIVING CRAP OUT OF ANYTHING IN YOUR PATH. But you can also obviously play it slow and steady as in your video, its a choice really and i just wanted to show people the second playstyle this game has to offer. Edit: if you would like to share you opinion please do so in the replies to this comment

[@lopidav]

I think the big part of it is that sprint is on a button for some reason. I put it on auto at the very start of playing and found that usually flying around using melee is the best option. Btw, for some reason throwing granades while looking down also worked wery well

[@Legendstar55-cj5ie]

Back when I played it back in its preview, it was insanely good. I fell in love with the rougelite genre because of this game and I kept on playing this since I installed it! Can't wait to see how time plays on with this amazing game!

[@Chloroxite]

"This game isn't as fast as doom" He says while then not doing *any* of the game's movement tech Fun fact about sliding: There's no cooldown or limitations. Literally just slide>jump>slide>jump>etc

[@FirstnameLastname-hv3rm]

I played this game like two months ago and had an absolute blast. Glad you’re finally playing it.

[@DownbeatNova]

New ultrakill update just dropped btw

[@unsellar]

movement in this game is insane. you will almost never touch the ground actually. triple jumps + grapple + jetpacks + rocket jumping + head jumps. and i don't mentioned hero's cape and auto-rocketjump alt attack on some weapons, which lets you to fall to ground, deal damage and recharge jumps, and instantly fly up high.

sad that your the only other comment i’ve seen disproving his dumb idea about the game being slow

Unlocked everything in the game pass version a few months ago and just purchased it on Steam. Love the game and the music. Can't wait to play the new content.

Is there a difference between Xbox and steam?

@@SamHoward-l9q Haven't played the Xbox version since 1.0 released but it felt pretty similar besides the progression and weapon placement on maps.

[@SloRush]

I made a javelin build where I had 5 javelins and if they were all thrown and I clock, they all explode doing massive damage around each individual javelin. I felt like Zeus. Not even Gunfire Reborn made me feel like that. This game is one of a kind.

Roguelikes and roguelites aren't usually my type of game but I have been hooked to this one over the past few weeks. I really feel like I am making a little progress every day. The different guns are awe inspiring and make me feel like I've been picking up Borderlands for the first time again.

[@Swizik]

I was expecting the multiplayer to come up eventually, it made the game so much more fun, especially with the quickplay system they have in place, solo runs just feel lonely to me. Having 3 weapons was a gadget, but I personally didn’t even notice it was gone because Hot Potato is my favorite perk in the whole game. Also, rocket jumping accelerates the gameplay to ULTRAKILL speed if you can use it properly, I’ve found the most success using the flare gun, such a good weapon to rocket jump with

Y'know, it's kinda funny that you release this video, about a game that's basically Bumblebee as a roguelite FPS, and Cody of Alternate History Hub releases a video on Bumblebee the very same day. Truly serendipitous coincidence.

[@mechanicalmenace2802]

For having the game 100% done already, even S ranking guardian 4, this game is genuinely a master class in rouge-lites. Hopefully the do add more since I was actually taken aback for not having a looping feature that most rouge-lites have that I’ve played. So much potential!

[@chromarush1749]

That's in the timeline I believe with the endless update.

[@papasalvo]

Fun fact when Billy bombs was originally added into the game he didn't have the little indicator telling u that u needed to go around his back and flip the switch. So I and many others all died to him on repeat for like 2 weeks before they changed that lol

[@Scrambles19]

Engineer is my favorite class to play so far. I try to go for the Chromatic Weapon perk whenever I can, you choose an element and all of your weapons now do that element. One time I picked Ice, then later found a tesla rifle that also did fire damage. I became the Avatar for the rest of that run, good times

[@Bazter_buh]

I gotta say, nice game. Also the fact that I was able to predict that iris joke

[@zaphtal]

Never clicked on anything faster when this popped up

[@papasalvo]

If u turn on auto sprint u can use the slode function alot better and it makes incorporating sliding amidst combat more fluid and convenient which in turn makes u harder to hit or able to get put of situations easier

[@phonkydude1618]

The game movement isn't really like you describe, it feels like every source engine 2 game that had ever exist at the same time, rocket jump, after you unlock all the movement gadgets is even more fast pasted, that could be te same as ultrakill.

[@ellagage1256]

Ultrakill's movement makes this game (or really any game) feel so much slower in comparison. I personally find the lack of aggressive healing to be my biggest complaint

[@ryanburke1656]

hellllll yeah, this honestly snuck up real quick as a GotY contender for me, maybe even edging out my time with MK1 so far

I got to the pit orange area and I somehow managed to rocket jump with the thumper to the door. By using that little purple rectangle thing. That was the main floor the same floor as the dynamite.

I played the demo and got a laser minigun that shocks, and an laser arkebus rifle that was normal but I had a perk that increased damage when far away, and a perk the cycled elemental damage for all weapons between fire and ice (while stacking on top of existing elemental effects) So, I was able to clear out most rooms without even having to engage.

Been really enjoying this and deadlink, but this one takes the cake because it just has vastly more replayability and variety. The chips in deadline are an interesting idea, but almost never change the way you chose to play the game

[@esperfire3779]

Deadlink has a few upgrades that CAN change the way you play the game, but you may not even see one in a given run because the game is rather short, and the amount of upgrades the game gives you is very limited. One of the main things that's missing is the ability to complete a challenge for extra loot. For example, this game has the Corrupted Areas, and Gunfire Reborn has Vaults. Both are optional and potentially dangerous, but reward you with some sort of upgrade for completing it. Performing them consistently allows you to really stack the deck in your favor by the end of the game. Deadlink has a lot of chips that could be interesting if stacked together, but since your upgrade opportunities are so limited, trying to do so is very suboptimal. Combined with how brutal the game is difficulty wise, and there really isn't a choice if you want a fighting chance at clearing the run.

[@lucasmather4837]

Ok, this is more inspired by Borderlands than Doom. It’s a looter shooter, there’s it much less Doom inspired stuff in roboquest than Borderlands stuff

The last Roguelike I played (at least like this one) was gunfire reborn, wich was fine, but wasnt my cup of tea, good ideas and characters but the gameplay didn't ended up clicking with me. This game feels like a spiritual sequel to Gunfire, everything feels and plays better and the game doesn't feel like a weird stat grind.

[@Crayssius]

Can confirm, fire damage does execute.

[@CamoranWasTaken]

Love the game, almost have everything, favorite part is turning off your brain and hitting everything with a beefed up shovel while bouncing around like a madman. Also, you can cheese the hell out of the final boss, at least first phase, I won't say how but its pretty much required for melee, I think a good idea is to have points around the arena that melee can hit while still being able to get hit by projectiles, because the cheese way makes it to easy.

[@delta5397]

you have to find buttons to open the laser gate? i just used gardens shield to get through it

[@hanklestank]

Oh there’s a puzzle to get through the laser grid orange area? I legit just thought you were supposed to hit Q as bastion and just sprint through that thing. Could never quite make it with the ranger though, would always take a tick of damage on the last grid
