![]() ![]() There are plenty of weapons and upgrades to mess around with, and each behaves differently enough to feel useful in its own way. Not content with just two magically replenishing holsters, Robo Recall gives you two more over your shoulders where you can reach to grab your pre-configured shotguns or rifles – or, as Bruce Campbell might describe them while making a similar drawing action, your boomsticks. And there’s an even more over-the-top method of reloading that I won’t spoil. ![]() It’s a great alternative to having to fiddle with popping in new clips, because that might cramp your dual-wielding style, and it’s a move that feels like something out of a John Woo movie that’s completely given up on any sense of realism in favor of even more flying lead. It's a crazy sort of comic book-like world, and, thanks to VR, you get to live in it.In a decadent touch, when you’ve emptied your clip you simply release your grip on the controller to drop the gun and grab new ones that’ve appeared in your holster after a brief cooldown. Sure, you'd never actually able to pull off most of the things you do in Robo Recall, but the fact that you can just somehow feels right here. After a while though, even that becomes second nature, allowing you to hop quickly from ground level to rooftops and back to best fend off the frenzied robot swarms. The only awkward bits are the navigations, which is handled by pointing and teleporting to new locations. It's also fun to try and come up with ways to chain moves together for big combos, or to pull of seemingly impossible tricks like snatching enemy bullets out of the air and hurling them back at the attacker. It's little things like this that keep the flow of the action going at a constant pace. After all, when's the last time you shot a pistol until it was empty, then threw the empty gun in a bad guy's face? Of course, you never really run out of bullets in the game, as a fresh set of guns is always holstered at your sides and ready to grab without the delay of reloading. Robo Recall is probably best described as a wildly chaotic sci-fi shooting gallery like you've never seen before. It's the tongue-in-cheek humor and personality, along with its fast-paced gameplay, that keeps it from feeling boring or repetitious. Even though the robots are programmed to kill you, that doesn't stop them from firing off a quick one-liner before they're dismantled. ![]() That's the sort of goofy humor that permeates the game from start to finish. At least until you remember that it's trying to kill you and you rip it apart and knock its head off with its own leg. When you step up close and grab hold of one of your robotic foes, you almost want to stop and admire the workmanship. Robo Recall is a bright and colorful world with a surprising amount of detail. If there's one thing we've learned from science fiction movies, it's that when robots rebel against their creators, it's never good for humanity, but in this game, it can still be a heck of a lot of fun. Survive the largest, most destructive, and downright insane product recall in history, and earn yourself that Employee of the Month bonus. The more creative you get, the higher your score. ![]() Or maybe you feel like getting more hands-on, pulling a defective unit's arm off before beating him down with it. Run out of bullets in your current pistols? Toss them at an enemy to distract ‘em while you grab a couple more. But along the way, you should never forget to take a little extra pride in your job, executing these recalls in fun and creative ways. You'll teleport throughout the city blasting these wisecracking automatons into piles of nuts and bolts, and maybe discover the source of the virus in the process. So when a nasty cyber-virus leads to a robot rebellion against humanity, it's up to you to teach those rogue robots that their manufacturer's warranty has just run its course. Your job is to handle the "recall" of any defective units, using extreme measures when necessary. You are an agent of the RoboReady corporation, the biggest manufacturer of these mechanical workers. In the futuristic world of ROBO RECALL, robots are everywhere and a part of everyday life. ![]()
