If you mean that you want to compute x as an explicit function of r and
q, than not only does no software for this exists know, but almost
certainly will never exist in the future either.
If, on the other hand, all you want is to find a triple of reals x,q,r
that approximately satisfy the equation than Mathematica can do it
quite easily:
Chop[NMinimize[
{Abs[r^2*(x^q - 1)*(((-r)*x*(x^q - 1))^q - 1) - 1],
0 <= r <= 10 && 0 <= x <= 1 && 0 <= q <= 10},
{x, r, q}]]
{0, {q -> 0.3562694885703915, r -> 7.731875654183964,
x -> 0.6779077010660948}}
