Great potential
In Roboquest, you pick one of four Guardians with their own flavor of combat in order to shoot other robots whilst powering up your own skillset and arsenal. I started playing this game last December, so I may make a few positive comments regarding the progression of the game's development since then. Roboquest follows a simple gameplay loop of starting the level, kill as many robots as possible whilst collecting their cells, and reach the end of the level in order to fight the bosses. The levels also contain these platforming sections that may give you more equipment, guns, wrenches and possibly perk upgrades. The name of the game is to try to move as fast as possible throughout the levels. You aren't necessarily timed in the sense that you fail the level if you don't move fast enough, but you will get an overall lower score at the end of the level, which may affect how many wrenches you receive. Wrenches are the currency used to upgrade your basecamp, which will give you access to more guns to select from at the start of your run, more affixes that your guns can contain, the ability to equip gadgets, just to name a few. When I first played, there wasn't a whole bunch to spend wrenches on, but now it feels like it has been expanded greatly. Movement is also a massive plus to the game. I love running around and double-jumping, especially when the game rewards you with goomba-stomping other robots. You can also grind on guardrails which could lead you to more vertical land. You pick up equipment as well throughout the levels which come in four types: Assault, Precision, Demolition, and Technology. These all give 5% damage per stack, though they used to do a bit more (ex: Technology, IIRC, used to also give CD Reduction on your Guardian's abilities. If not, you get the idea). These, however, were consolidated into buffs on your equipment pieces, or as affixes on the guns. I reccommend the game if you're into shooters and especially roguelites.
