Final Recovery SQUAD Gets June 18 Release Date
The game is Waku Waku Games' first dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 title, and its platform-specific performance differences-including the Switch 2's 120fps cap and mouse support-are a concrete early example of how publishers are treating the new hardware as a distinct platform rather than a backward-compatible upgrade.

Waku Waku Games announced on May 26 that the 2.5D FPS Final Recovery SQUAD, developed by indie creator Sunfish Kuma, will launch on June 18, 2026. The game is set on Earth after humanity's extinction, where autonomous humanoid drive units called CogrinaUnits continue to fight an alien invasion. Players control a 12-meter-tall robot, using buildings as cover and recovering limited special weapons from destroyed units to continue the battle. The game features a stock system where a new unit deploys immediately after one is destroyed. Intermission scenes include comedic conversations with fellow units, a combat-focused little sister character, and a Shiba Inu. The game will be available on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam for 1,500 yen. The Switch 2 version supports up to 120fps and Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, while the Switch version runs at up to 60fps. Save data and additional content are not compatible between the Switch and Switch 2 versions, and there is no upgrade path. A demo is available on Steam.
The game is an expanded version of "Hand-Me-Down," a title Sunfish Kuma released in February 2025 for the "Omoshiro Tsukurou tri-mono jam" game jam hosted by Bhaskara, where developers were limited to three colors (black, white, and red). "Final Recovery SQUAD" keeps the three-color art style, setting, and core gameplay of that jam entry, but adds new weapons including swords and rocket launchers, an enhancement system, and improved presentation.
Sunfish Kuma's previous work includes the trial version of "Hinketsu Hospital," a momentary bloody infighting action game. According to a post by the developer, the full game has become "an FPS that saves an almost destroyed Earth."
Publisher Waku Waku Games positions the title as the second installment of its JFPS series. The press release includes a detailed specification table showing platform differences beyond frame rate and mouse support. The Switch version runs at 720p resolution with up to 60fps and 16 simultaneous sound playback channels. The Switch 2 version runs at 1080p with up to 120fps and 32 sound channels. The PC version supports adjustable resolution, unlimited frame rate, adjustable FOV, and keyboard operation, but does not support gyro controls. The Switch and Switch 2 versions both support gyro controls. A launch sale is planned alongside the 1,500 yen regular price.
