Robo Recall is a first-person shooter made by video game developers Epic Games. The game released on March 1, 2017 for the Oculus Rift, and requires the user to own Oculus Touch. It was offered for free to original Oculus Touch owners.

Plot

Players control Agent 34, an employee of RoboReady, a leading manufacturer of service robots. As a Recaller, it is the player's job to remove "defective" robots from circulation. After a virus causes RoboReady's products to rebel against their human masters, the Recaller must disable all defective models and find the cause of the virus.

Gameplay

Gameplay takes place from a first-person perspective. The player can access four different weapons: a pistol, a revolver, a shotgun, and a plasma rifle, holstered on the hip or back. Players move by teleporting, which is controlled with the thumbstick. Although principally a shooter, the game allows players to physically grab enemies, dismantle them, throw them, and in some cases use their weaponry against other enemies. Enemy projectiles like bullets and missiles can also be caught and thrown back at enemies. The game awards point bonuses for certain types of kills, and a multiplier for unbroken kill streaks. Scores are uploaded to online rankings at the end of a stage.

Reception

On the day of release the game received a 8.5 out of 10 rating for IGN.
