A new rogue-lite FPS is hitting the scene, and like Bullets Per Minute and Hi-Fi Rush before it, Robobeat charges you with jumping, sliding, and shooting in time with its music. Marching to the beat of its own drum though, this upcoming game from Kwalee utilizes rogue-lite levels that are always changing and even lets you control the music you fight to.
Robobeat features fast-paced jumping, sliding, wall-running, and plenty of shooting. The game’s levels are dubbed “rouglite-remixes” by the publisher, as they’re procedurally generated and provide a perfect dance floor for your wide arsenal of weapons and modifications (yes, there is a grappling hook). Developer Inzanity has opted for a “technicolor” visual style that has elements of fellow rhythm-based shooter Pistol Whip, with punchy neon colors popping out from dark environments.
Of course, it’s not all show and no tell. The new trailer shown at the FGS Spring showcase highlights the game’s narrative. In Robobeat, you’ll play as a famous bounty hunter named Ace as you pursue your latest target, an eccentric robot called Frazzer. Frazzer has Ace trapped inside his ever-changing mansion which is said to reveal secrets, weapons, and songs the more you progress. If it sounds a bit like the Merovingian mansion levels from The Matrix: Path of Neo, you’re probably on the right lines.

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I’ve been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my ownYouTube channelabout my love of games too. These days, I’m one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.Location: UK Remote
