ROM: Extraction

ROM: Extraction is a VR arcade shooter set in 2076. You play as a member of an Orb Extraction Unit, sent to chambers on the moon to retrieve volatile energy matter called Orbs. The chambers are protected by alien-built robots, and you have only a few minutes to defend yourself. You can slow down time with your “Reflex” power and use Orbs in a “Throw, Slow & Shoot” combat strategy.

Combat and weapons

Use Orbs with your pistol, or shoot Orbs near enemies for strategic kills. You can also use destructible parts of the environment to your advantage. When a floating gun token appears, grab the two-handed EOS-15 rifle and use it to “Launch, Slow, Shoot” with an orb-launching, auto-firing weapon. If “jumpers” get close, use your pistol or the EOS-15 to shoot off their heads. The game features your full arms in VR.

Overrun

The Overrun expansion adds a level that continues the journey to the escape pods through the depths of the extraction vessel. The ship has been overrun, its systems are malfunctioning, and dangerous enemies wait on its lower levels. You must escape to the planet surface alive.

Game modes

Each level has three modes: Normal, Hard and Survive. Leaderboards let you compare results with local and global Extractors, and you can earn up to 15 Steam achievements.

Playing with others

The cooperative social screen feature lets others in the room watch your gameplay in real time from a top-down view. The game also has a soundtrack featuring music by Delta Heavy and Twin Moons, also known as Le Castle Vania.
