Fast-paced top-down roguelike shooter Driveloop takes you through post-apocalyptic cityscapes to fight through insane mechanical hordes of steampunk-inspired robots was set for a Q2 2025 launch; that window has now narrowed to April 2025. The developer describes the game as a blend of vehicular combat and strategic customization where players can drift, ram, and shoot through waves of enemies to fight for survival. The art-deco art movement inspires the vehicle used, adding another theme to the mix. It uses iconic real-life cities for the battles, turning them into combat arenas.
Former cities known for tourist attractions have become decayed cityscapes that are playgrounds of destruction, ranging from Berlin’s desert to Paris’ urban jungle. You will fight relentless waves of enemies at these locations — each with strategic layouts, obstacles, and hazards. Some enemies are simple minions, but others are heavily armoured mechanical beasts that will give you a real run for your money. Massive bosses require special attention to timing and use of your vehicle’s abilities.
You can enhance your art-deco-inspired futuristic fighting machine through abilities, weapons, or new crew members. Essential upgrades and repairs are available for the vehicle, but you’ll also want to synergize equipment combinations to create a devastating combat machine.
Borja Fernández, Founder of and Programmer/Designer at indie developer Stunbyte, describes the motivation behind Driveloop in a press release, saying, “Our passion for roguelikes and survivor-style games inspired us to explore fresh ground in a genre we love. Creating a game we genuinely wanted to play has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding.”
Developed and published by Stunbyte, Driveloop will be released for PC via Steam in April 2025.
