What is ROM: Extraction?
A single-player, first-person VR shooter set in 2076, where you extract volatile energy orbs from lunar chambers guarded by alien-built robots. Across short levels, you throw orbs, slow time, and shoot them near enemies, using a pistol or an orb-launching rifle. The Overrun level moves the action inside an extraction ship as you head toward escape pods.
For you if...
- +you like replaying arcade challenges to improve your score
Not for you if...
- −you want a story-driven campaign rather than arcade encounters
- −you prefer traditional gunplay without throwing objects between shots
