Just enough challenge on levels to keep it interesting. With enough of that gamer humor to give you a smile. I chose to play the game standing you can play it sitting also, though I found immersion was greater from a standing position. Looking down caused several real life wobbly moments as I fought not to fall over in real life. The only time I had a few disorienting moments in game was battles on rooftops when I transported too close to the edge of the roof. Some missions have larger bosses that will require strategic movement around them during battle to defeat them. If you are not used to movement by transporting, I would strongly suggest practicing in the offices before heading out to a mission. So paying attention on where the enemies are is paramount. It’s just a matter of pointing to the spot and orienting the arrow in the direction you want to be facing on moving to that spot. The game opts to use a transport to designated spots with the controls. The dreaded VR motion sickness is handled rather well in Robo Recall. Do not be surprised if you find yourself striking different gun action poses as you are exchanging fire with your robot enemies. In fact, the Oculus Touch controls just feel so natural especially in all the gun battles. Paired up well there is no lag between events in game and motions and commands from the controls.
#ROBO RECALL UNPLUGGED VS ROBO RECALL FULL#
This game really takes full advantage of the Oculus Touch controllers. Combat from hand-to-hand, on to weapons is very satisfying. Why? As if to ask why this is even happening to them. They bounce up and you are able to fire off several rounds and juggle them with the impacts of the gunfire.īlasting some robots will have them shouting out. The humor in Robo Recall is chuckle worthy with moments of grabbing extra points for shooting a robot in midair. The bullets and weapon fire slows down in time ala to simulate the players badassery of moving so fast time seems to slow down. The player can also deflect gunfire by batting bullets and shotgun pellets with the guns they have in hand. Grabbing rockets that were fired at them and hurling them back, or grabbing bullets from the air and throwing them back. There is something even more satisfying that the players agent can do. If things are hot and heavy and enemy are firing on you, using the robot as a shield is an excellent tactic.

Do not be so fast to discard a robot once you grab them. We can grab a robot, rip them apart, and even use them or the parts as a club against other robots. We were introduced to grabbing and ripping robots apart early on in training. Throughout the game missions, we discover other ultra-cool things that we as the agent can do in the middle of combat. You have to recover a certain amount of robots to be successful. This mode can be intense and the clock is ticking in this one. This is where the players’ abilities to move around and grab robots comes into play. The other mode which can be a bit more difficult is gathering functioning robots and throwing them into a vortex teleporter to be studied. The clock is ticking and you have to protect the sensor until the time runs down. This is when you turn on a sensor to gather data and have to protect it from the Robots who are hell bent on destroying it. Then the bit harder section are protection. Missions are straight forward some just clear an area, which is a blast unto itself. Once you went through a mission, you can try the area again to gain more points. Here to, you will also pull up a map of the city with available missions.
#ROBO RECALL UNPLUGGED VS ROBO RECALL UPGRADE#
The offices are where you also upgrade equipment or try weapons out with electronic targets before you go out into the field. Including being able to grab onto grab points on a robot and either hurl them or dismantle them (Pull them apart). Possible plot hole, but the game is so much fun I tend not to dwell on it.Ī first introduction at the offices gives you a fast run down of the abilities. who talks them through the adventure and which strangely enough not effected by whatever is going on with the other A.I and Robots. Much like the film Blade Runner, the Robo Agent player now tasked to recall the Robots that are running amok across the city. They seem to be the only agent at the Robo Recall offices. Of course, this includes the robots becoming violent to the human oppressors. Humans make robots robots soon get a higher intelligence leader then it emancipates the robots. The plot visited many times before in sci-fi books movies comics and television shows. Strapping on your Oculus head set brings you into this sci-fi world. This game defines VR Robo Recall has the look and feel of an arcade game with all the pomp and circumstance of a wave shooter.

Robo Recall is an older game that offers so much I am surprised we did not cover it when it first came out. Played and reviewed on the Oculus Rift Version.
