ROM: Extraction is a fast-paced homage to the classic arcade shooter, featuring an unprecedented style of VR gameplay.
Welcome to the year 2076, where you now have the power to slow down time--called "Reflex" power. You'll play as a member of an Orb Extraction Unit, on your way to extract highly volatile energy matter--Orbs--from chambers on the moon. With only a few minutes to defend yourself against the onslaught of alien-built robots protecting the chambers, discover the immense satisfaction of decimating those ‘bots via your "Throw, Slow & Shoot" combat strategy.
As of Feb 28th 2017, ROM has been updated with a new expansion, entitled “Overrun.”
Overrun is a whole new level for players to master, featuring several unique twists on VR gameplay. Your journey to the escape pods continues through the depths of the extraction vessel. The ship has been overrun! Systems are malfunctioning, and you must face highly dangerous enemies on the lower levels of the ship--and escape to the planet surface with your life.
Gameplay
- Use Orbs in combination with your pistol to “Throw, Slow, and Shoot”
- Shoot Orbs in proximity of enemies for the most strategic kills
- Use the environment to your advantage--be on the lookout for destructibles
- Grab the two-handed EOS-15 rifle when you shoot the floating gun token
- Use the EOS-15 to “Launch, Slow, Shoot”--a new twist on the core game mechanic that gives you an orb-launching, auto-firing weapon of destruction
- When “jumpers” are in close proximity, use your pistol or EOS-15 to pop off their heads!
