Robobeat Reviews
I have to say I'm not really a fan of rogue style games or Doom style shooters, but Robobeat has proven to be the exception to the rule. It's fast, slick, and once you have learned the mechanics, really quite easy to master.
Robobeat is an original production that winks persuasively at POST VOID but follows a completely opposite structural line, succeeding in the overall but fantastic task of proving to be well mature and engaging. It's complex, but it's not a problem: you need to practice, learn the right moves and manage, of course, to get more than one note right. You need to kill.

ROBOBEAT combines first-person shooters with rhythm gameplay, but never really defines its reason for doing so. Although the action does become engaging once you get the hang of it, awkward controls and drab level design will chase most dancers off the floor before the party can really kick in.
Robobeat has a great soundtrack and its combat ticks all the boxes, but uneven balance and boring level design puts this one out of step with its peers.
Frantic and rhythmic, ROBOBEAT enters the small crowd of music-centric action games that blend the timing of beats and bullets. While touted as a roguelite, it's more random arcade shooter at heart, focusing on the thrill of the kinetic kill.
Robobeat is a solid rhythm-based shooter with an amazing soundtrack made even better by its built-in audio studio for players to use their own music in the game!
Can you capture eccentric robot-showman Frazzer?
The practical lack of a good narrative construction and the divisive visuals can be scary, but there is no doubt that ROBOBEAT is an unexpected well-balanced mix of classic FPS, rhythm and roguelike, with the fluid and addictive gameplay cycles as its greatest and most competent asset.

Robobeat meets the basic expectations for a game of its type. Its weapons, enemies, soundtrack, and level design are all adequate but it falls short due to its lack of a unique hook, or compelling reason to exist.
Robobeat is a fun shooter that powers your shots in time with music of your choice. This immerses you in the gameplay and gives you a unique FPS experience. However, this game doesn’t have much going for it other than the musical shooting. Everything else feels tacked on and it’s not great for people who aren’t musically inclined.
Robobeat shines when offering an FPS and roguelike with agile movements and intense combat, but ends up lacking when it comes to delivering a really fluid and varied rhythm experience. The difficulty in synchronizing audio and image, along with a fixed soundtrack, make the whole have highs and lows. Even so, I consider it good for those who like to try out unique concepts and wouldn't be annoyed by calibrating the timing or simply turning off the music aspect sometimes.

ROBOBEAT manages to use its greatest strength, which is the combination of shooter and rhythm, to overcome the occasional flaws it presents in level design. It would be nice to have a customized playlist, since this is already possible on PC, but this is not a demerit for the title, which entertains with its dynamism and fast action.

The soundtrack deserves special praise. With a mix of EDM, industrial metal and other electronic styles, each track fits the gameplay perfectly. It is incredibly fun to switch between songs via the cassette player. You can even switch music during a run if you feel like the music doesn't fit the level or weapons. Robobeat is therefore a welcome addition to the PS5 game catalog. Dual-wielding two guns that are completely different from each other works like a charm. You can earn a lot of extras here and you don't feel like you have to grind endlessly to unlock something new. With four different levels and an art style that is very similar, the game unfortunately doesn't offer much visual diversity. The large amount of cool songs, weapons and power-ups specifically ensure that you come back to play a "short" level.

ROBOBEAT's arrival on PS5 brings this unique rhythm-shooter to a new audience with style. Its blend of music-based combat, roguelike progression, and fluid movement creates an engaging experience that's both challenging and rewarding.
Robobeat masterfully blends the roguelike genre with rhythm games, combining the frantic and addictive gameplay typical of roguelikes with the flow of rhythm-based games. Using an exceptional soundtrack to unite them, Robobeat stands out as one of the most unique and fun games within the roguelike genre.

I can’t imagine ROBOBEAT being on too many radars, and that’s a shame. This strange rhythm-based FPS blends some much-loved elements, creating a well-trodden but enjoyable experience. I adored the exceptional aesthetics and the testing gameplay. However, a lack of originality holds it back. Yet, despite this minor complaint, I love it and recommend buying it here! Can you complete your job and get your bounty? Pick a gun, choose your perks, and allow the beat to do the rest.
ROBOBEAT has a personality all on its own, presenting a unique experience that is much more than just a fun spin on the rhythm game genre. Absolutely oozing with style, it demands to be experienced to get what it offers truly. It is a fun romp with thrilling visuals, exciting action, and an emphasis on excellent music catered to your particular tastes.
Robobeat offers an experience in which the harmony between action and music dictates the rhythm of the challenge. With mechanics that synchronize the player's actions with the rhythm of the chosen music, the game provides a journey full of adrenaline and fun. Additionally, the ability to import your own music adds a layer of customization and immersion to the experience, allowing players to shape their experience according to their musical tastes.
