When we first broke the news about ROM: Extraction by First Contact with our hands-on reveal last month, we didn’t have any footage to show you — only art work and a few teaser images. Now, that is unfortunately not a whole lot different, as we just have a brief and tantalizing teaser trailer along with a handful of new screenshots.

The below trailer does a wonderful job of setting an ominous tone and building up suspense about the game, but it doesn’t actually show much else. Luckily, you won’t have to wait long to see more, as the game’s Steam page is now live announcing a December 7th release date with both HTC Vive and Oculus Rift support listed. It’s expected to release on the Oculus Home store shortly afterwards as well — motion controllers are required.

According to a prepared statement provided to UploadVR, “ROM: Extraction is a pick-up- and-play, addictive classic arcade shooter, built natively for VR. The heart of the gameplay mechanic is ‘Throw, Slow, and Shoot.’ Players will defend themselves against extraterrestrial robots by using the power to slow down time – called ‘Reflex’ power – for an unprecedented style of strategic combat. The game features the first-person immersion of VR, intuitive, motion-based controls, multiple difficulty settings and global and local leaderboards.”

During our demo, we got to see this in action and came away impressed. The visual fidelity, exciting physics, and potential for expansion upon the base concept were all exciting prospects. The studio’s talent and history of game development shows through in the production quality alone.

When ROM: Extraction launches next week on Steam it will be a single player only experience, but plans are in place to add cooperative multiplayer for free soon, in addition to new levels, weapons, enemies, and abilities to help further diversify the gameplay. It’s a simple game, but the team hopes that the core gameplay loop is addictive enough to keep gamers coming back for more.
