Press release:
Leamington Spa, UK, 13 June 2022, 12:00 BST:
The Leamington-based (the UK) indie games publisher Kwalee and Simon Fredholm (an independent video games developer from Karlskrona, Sweden), today announced with great delight and excitement that their fast-paced rhythm shooter “Robobeat” is coming to PC via Steam and EGS in 2023.

Robobeat – Shoot – Remix – Repeat

Keep your trigger finger on the pulse! In rhythm shooter Robobeat, a rogue-lite rhythm shooter where it’s all about maximising your damage by shooting to the beat. Wall run, grapple hook, slide, and bunny hop your way through the haphazard mansion of a crazed robot-showman. Fast forward through procedurally generated levels, equip an arsenal of finely-tuned weapons, and accompany your arsenal with a symphony of modifications. Your playstyle is on continuous shuffle, so you never know what each new run is going to bring!

Beat. The. Bot.

You’ve been trapped in the ever-changing mansion of the eccentric robot-showman Frazzer. If you want to escape this twisted techno-playground, you’ll have to master the art of shooting and moving in sync with the beat! Get ready to dance till you’re dead and then suit up for the remix in rogue-lite rhythm shooter Robobeat.

Shoot in Sync

March to the beat of your own drum and choose the track that fits your playstyle. Maximise your damage and shorten your cooldown time by shooting in sync.

Combo off in time with the rhythm to get different tunes out of the same gun. Master the art of charged shots, damage multipliers, armour piercing rounds, and more!

Move to the Music

You’ll want some slick moves to go with those slick new weapons. Your enemies aren’t going to wait around for you to take a dance break, so you’ve got to keep moving if you want to survive. Keep it fluid, keep it funky, and keep it moving.

Rewind, Remix, Replay

Robobeat is a rogue-lite remix.

Fast forward through procedurally generated levels, equip an arsenal of finely-tuned weapons, and accompany your arsenal with a symphony of modifications. Your playstyle is on continuous shuffle, so you never know what each new run is going to bring!

Will you have what it takes to break the infinite loop and stop Frazzer in his tracks?

Key features:

Make your enemies face the music with an orchestra of guns and melee weapons;
Choose from a diverse playlist to find a track that suits your playstyle;
Unlock new songs, weapons, and utilities as you progress through the mansion and uncover its secrets;
Feel the beat with environments and visuals that adapt to the music;
Mix it up with a range of modifications to give you an extra boost;
Use your smooth moves to master platforming levels.

Simon Fredholm, Founder, Robobeat, said:

“I’m beyond excited to be partnering with Kwalee for Robobeat. From the very beginning, their team has understood the game on a deeper level. It’s clear from their experience that they know what they’re doing and they are not afraid to take chances, to create something fresh and new. They want to create the best games possible, which is what I’m all about too. I’ve been given the ability to create something awesome, and I’m looking forward to the future.”
