    Roboquest is a "FPS Roguelite" set in a post-apocalyptic future world.

    I tried to activate this key a couple of days ago, only to get a Steam error saying it had been activated by another account. Since I hadn't given it away, I guess it was duplicated at some stage, but Humble replaced it without breaking a sweat.

    The game opens with Max at the wheel of her hover-Kombi travelling through the desert alone, until she stumbles across a 500-odd year old robot buried in the desert sand.

    Somehow, this bright yellow "Guardian" hasn't been ravaged by the sand and time, and Max pops a battery into the Guardian's chest cavity, and you're as good as new

    In terms of gameplay, it's pretty fast and smooth. It feels very Borderlands-inspired, with brightly-lit desert environments and cel-shaded graphics, but movement is less Borderlands and more... something else I can't quite put my finger on.

    Your missions is to "save the world" (apparently), and to do this you need to shoot a lot of "bad bots"; literally, that's what the game calls them.

    It feels kind of breezy, but definitely confirmed it's time to crack open my G13 and replace the microswitch actuator again, because the "space" button has crapped out again. I really need something more solid, or a full rethink of the design.

    Anyway, I think Roboquest is:

    3: OK
