## What is Recoil Game?

RECOIL is a first of its kind first-person shooter brought to life!

Use with the RECOIL Multi-Player Starter Set, which includes advanced weaponry and a Wi-Fi game hub. Feel the kickback of your weapon as 3D positional audio lets you hear exactly where enemy fire is coming from. Engage up to 16 players over a 250-foot radius, viewing live stats and tracking each other’s movements.

•	GPS-enabled technology dynamically maps your game into the real world
•	Place Virtual Weapons such as landmines onto the battlefield, or call in Virtual Airstrikes!
•	RECOIL Wi-Fi Game Hub supports up to 250 feet of multiplayer perimeter 
•	Bluetooth-enabled RECOIL weapons (sold separately) connect to your iPhone
•	Multiplayer games support up to 16 Players
•	Various gameplay modes, such as Free-for-all Skirmish, Team Skirmish and Search & Destroy
•	AR-powered Indoor Play mode requires no GPS
•	Support for “Mobile-only” players in team games – no RECOIL hardware required

Beef up your team’s size and firepower with additional RECOIL weapons: the standard Starter Set (sold separately) includes two RK-45 Spitfire weapons, but SR-12 Rogue weapons are also available with more range, power, and larger magazine capacity. Both the RK-45 and SR-12 are fully automatic RECOIL weapons with dynamic force-feedback for a physical “kick” to add to the realism. 

All weapons have push-to-talk buttons that enable real-time voice chat – call out instructions to teammates, or taunt the enemy. For a real game changer, the RECOIL frag grenade (sold separately) provides a timed release blast with a huge radius. 

It’s time to get in on the action because The World Is Now Game.

*2025-10-06, version 1.4*

The app is great but it is sad that skyrocket closed down it seems like when toys r us closed all of the fun toy companies closed.

### 5/5 — Great game even years later!

*2025-03-01, version 1.4*

I got my first recoil guns a few years ago, and I have been loving it! I don’t know why they are now only available from pre-used, but it still works great.

### 5/5 — Sad that skyrocket is gone

### 5/5 — Best game ever will make memories

*2024-04-19, version 1.4*

I know it’s a little to late to say this because I got the laser gun pack for my son and me 6years ago and we’re still playing to this day thank you for all these memory’s 🥹🥹

### 1/5 — Keine Einzelspieler funktion

*2023-05-18, version 1.4*

Schade, ich hatte mich sehr auf diesen coolen Blaster gefreut. Leider ist die App total unbrauchbar wenn man alleine auf Drohnen oder Ähnliches ballern möchte, Weil’s das hier nicht gibt. Der Blaster lässt sich alleine auch nicht mit dem Händy einfach verbinden,..

### 3/5 — Nostalgic but I can’t play it anymore

*2023-04-15, version 1.4*

I used to play this with my parents and siblings when I was younger but now I’m the only one who can play it because they all have android phones can you update it so I can play with my family please

### 1/5 — Probably hacks you

*2023-04-06, version 1.4*

Played game with no sound (made sure 100%) and could still hear. Was the same with other device. Im abit concerned over privacy and the amount of things it asks for (location and microphone etc.)
