Review Posted 11/23/2025

Roboquest VR embargo has ended! The game launches at $29.99 on Steam and PSVR2 and soon to be META, and is worth every dang penny. It is truly awesome! It does so many things EXTREMELY well and there is just so much of, well, everything! The game has so much involved with upgrades, weapons, character perks, the maps, etc. Far more than the usual repetitiveness that plagues VR.

I've been highly anticipating this game ever since it was initially announced as part of the Flat2VR Studios company announcement as them being a compnay. They announced I believe 3 or 4 titles they were working on to release, and Roboquest VR was one of them. The game was already playable with UEVR with 6DoF but this made for VR version, is better in every way from what I have seen.

As you all may know, I'm a sucker for rogue likes but this one is probably the best yet. And I'm being modest on the hype. I can't get enough of Roboquest VR and this is exactly what I had feared.

Positives:
The games movement is really fast paced & extremely fluid. Among the best & most fun in all of VR. There are several jump varieties, slides, trampolines, rails for grinding and more.

The weapons are a huge highlight as well. I'm not sure the exact amount but I have used well over 25 unique weapons and I come across multiple new guns every run. The only real issue I have with the guns are although they are two handed for some, using one hand doesn't seem to mess with the accuracy or recoil. So there's no need to two hand them.

There's a ton to explore and the maps feel and look great. You are rewarded for exploration as well, which as you all know, is something I greatly appreciate in games. The maps have hidden areas and places where you can unlock for different paths and further playthrough.

It has the typical roguelike upgrades. Some for each run, some permanent, but there is so much more. There are different robots you can play with, and each robot has different class perks and special abilities. I've only used two of them but I think there are roughly 8 or so to unlock. The robots that we play as remind me of Stormland meets Borderlands. There are also all sorts of different NPCs on your team that you can unlock, which each one acts as a way to further your loadouts and gameplay. For instance, one is an upgrade station but is found within the run. There is so much more to it but I have only begun to scratch the surface of what all is available and upgradable.

The music goes HARD. It amps me up and plays into the action and maps.

Variety is in abundance and I'm still lost in so many aspects after a couple hours of gameplay. There just seems to be so much stuff and so much of every aspect. But not in a way I feel overwhelmed, but rather excited to keep playing and experience the variety.

Negatives:
The main issue with the game at launch is not having Co-Op available to play right away. I don't know if it's in the launch version, but early access had the Co-Op station already built within the game so it will be here sooner than later. I also had a few bugs, like seeing the health bar for the enemy after destroying them, but I have reported these to the dev team. And as I mentioned before, two handed weapons shoot just as good as one handing them, which isn't really a bad thing but they could've gone more into that (I have not played the flatscreen version, which may have been the same way I assume). 

The art style is great, but the main character who talks to us, looks off like she is low poly or something a bit off. 

Lastly, bHaptics was not supported before launch. I have mentioned it to both Flat2VR Studios and the bHaptics team, so hopefully it gets added sooner than later but I am hopeful that it'll happen.

Wrap Up:
Since the game is so fun, I could easily see myself playing this for hundreds of hours and becoming my go-to game for when I finish something early on the stream and have an opening all of a sudden. Or something that I jump in for 30 minutes but end up playing for 5 hours straight. It seems it's going to be what The Light Brigade was for me, which was my favorite game of 2023, but even better and more addictive.

The game looks and performs awesome on Steam and I could play it on max resolution on the Pimax Super at 90Hz. While I have only played a few hours, I have barely scratched the surface and I feel it could be a solid 40 hours before unlocking certain stuff. But that's not a bad thing. Just shows how much there is within this game.

Roboquest is a must play if it looks even remotely interesting. For rogue likes, it is probably the best one in all of VR, where we have a slew of amazing rogue like titles. Roboquest VR is right there at the top. Flat2VR Studios have brought us some great titles, but this one is their best one yet! This is one of those games and developers that us as a VR community needs to support. Huge props to the team!
