Final Recovery Squad, a single-player FPS from indie developer Sunfish Kuma, launched on June 18 via publisher Waku Waku Games. The game is available on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. As of writing, it holds a 97% positive rating from 167 user reviews on Steam, earning a Very Positive label. Players control a robot girl called a Cogrina Unit, fighting alien weapons in a world where humanity has been wiped out. The core loop involves recovering weapons from fallen comrades at the start of each mission, since players begin unarmed. Defeat sends the player back to the mission start without weapons, forcing a return to the site of death to retrieve them. Weapon types include machine guns and swords, and auxiliary equipment like bombs and decoys can be unlocked. The game is a complete version of Sunfish Kuma's earlier itch.io title Hand-Me-Down, adding new weapons and improved visuals.
