Тавр дефенс с элементами стратегии и шутера от 1ого лица. кооп даже на рф работает.
macht bock nur das mit der Munition holen das klappt nicht immer ganz bei mir aber sonst ein echt gutes spiel
Leider ist im Diesen spiel nicht mehr viel los aber das Spiel lohnt sich. Strategie Action Ego Shoter. Die bedienung am anfang ist zwar ein wenig schwer aber man kann es schnell in griff bekommen.
This game has its strengths and weaknesses, and actually, one weakness is so bad that it’s good.
To be honest, this VR title feels more like a tech demo than a full-fledged game. It’s a mix of different modes that feel like the developer wanted to say: "Hey, look what kind of games you can make in VR!"
The primary mode is a tower defense game with multiple levels. It’s okay overall; some maps are well-designed and require a tactical approach, while others are quite boring. The extra modes are fine too.
But on my playthrough, I found out the hard way why this game could have it's title "Out of Ammo". It’s not just a title; it’s a promise caused by a bug. For some reason, you occasionally can't grab specific objects, which makes situations, like reloading, luck based. While this is a terrible control issue, it made the game significantly harder, especially in the final extra mission. I’d be lying if I said that this ironic "feature" didn't feel like a cool, unintended challenge.
If you can laugh it off like I did, you can actually have fun with this experimental title. But don't be frustrated if you have difficulties trying to grab and put a new magazine, while you are literally out of ammo. XD
Bad controls and poor interactibility is the bane of VR games
Including this one
Unless the game is on a discount, i wouldn't recommend purchasing it.
All survival playthroughs end the same, your medics and engineers keep running to the front-lines like a chicken without its head and proceed to get themselves killed. Yes you got the functions to 'enable/disable "auto repair" on engineers' and 'enable/disable "enemy corpse gathering" on medics', but it doesn't effect their behaviour still causing them to always run into front-lines.
Even if it worked, there is so little time in-between waves that you wouldn't even have enough time to constantly disable/enable those engineer and medic functions safely since they are far from easy to access.
oh yeah btw, anytime a tower of yours gets blown up while you're possessing one of your soldiers you get forced out of the soldiers POV. very annoying when you're trying to focus but every 3 seconds, 'possessing a soldier' gets interrupted.
Out of Ammo, developed and published by RocketWerkz, is a distinctive virtual reality title that merges real-time strategy with first-person shooter mechanics, delivering a hybrid gameplay experience that feels both dynamic and immersive. Set in a voxel-style battlefield, players are tasked with defending their base against waves of increasingly challenging enemies. The game’s appeal lies in its ability to seamlessly combine strategic planning with direct, hands-on combat, creating a layered experience that requires both tactical thinking and quick reflexes.
The gameplay in Out of Ammo revolves around a dual approach. In the strategic mode, players act as a commander, placing defensive structures such as bunkers, turrets, and sniper towers while managing resources and positioning troops. This layer of planning requires foresight and adaptability, as players must anticipate enemy paths and balance limited supplies to fortify their defenses effectively. Once the battlefield is prepared, players can jump into first-person mode, taking control of individual soldiers to actively engage enemies, shoot from cover, and physically interact with the environment. This combination of macro-level strategy and micro-level action ensures that no two encounters feel the same, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging.
One of the game’s most compelling features is its full exploitation of VR capabilities. The room-scale design allows players to physically move around their play area, crouch behind cover, and manipulate objects directly with motion controllers. Building fortifications, aiming weapons, and issuing commands all benefit from the tactile, immersive interaction that VR provides, making the player feel truly present on the battlefield. This level of immersion elevates the gameplay, turning traditional RTS and FPS elements into a physically engaging and satisfying experience.
Visually, the game adopts a voxel-based art style that is both functional and charming. While it lacks photorealism, the colorful, blocky design provides clarity during fast-paced combat, allowing players to quickly identify enemies, structures, and environmental hazards. The environments are varied, featuring different terrains and layouts that add tactical depth and encourage creative use of defensive structures. Complementing the visuals, the audio design enhances immersion with realistic weapon sounds, environmental effects, and subtle cues that alert players to incoming threats, reinforcing the sense of being in an active combat zone.
Content-wise, Out of Ammo offers multiple layers of engagement. The campaign mode presents progressively difficult missions that challenge both strategic thinking and combat proficiency. A freeplay mode allows players to experiment with custom scenarios, testing new strategies or simply enjoying chaotic battles. Cooperative multiplayer adds further depth, enabling friends to team up and coordinate tactics, which not only increases replayability but also introduces a social, collaborative element to the experience.
Despite its many strengths, the game does have some limitations. Some players may find the pacing uneven, as the transition between strategic planning and active combat can occasionally feel abrupt. Additionally, the AI can sometimes behave unpredictably, with enemies failing to act in expected ways, which can disrupt carefully laid plans. While these issues do not fundamentally undermine the game, they can occasionally hinder the otherwise fluid experience.
Overall, Out of Ammo stands out as an innovative VR title that successfully bridges the gap between strategy and action. Its combination of immersive room-scale interaction, tactical planning, and direct combat creates a compelling experience that is both challenging and rewarding. Though not without minor flaws, the game’s unique approach, replayable content, and engaging mechanics make it a noteworthy entry in the VR landscape, appealing to fans of strategy, shooters, and immersive virtual experiences alike.

yoah...Geil
[h1]“Out of Ammo? More Like Out of Control – And I Loved It”[/h1]
I went in expecting a chill VR strategy game. You know—place a few soldiers, defend a base, sip some coffee. [Strike]Ten minutes later[/Strike] I’m screaming orders, flailing grenades, crawling on my floor trying to reload while my virtual medic gets sniped in the kidneys. This game is like babysitting a bunch of armed toddlers in a sandbox full of explosives—and somehow, it’s beautiful.
[hr][/hr]
[h3]Strategy Meets Chaos (And Then They Both Explode)[/h3]
You’re not just the commander here—you’re also the sniper, the builder, the guy frantically shoving magazines into empty rifles while enemies rush the gate. It’s tower defense, yes, but also full-body VR absurdity. One moment you’re placing sandbags like Bob the Builder with PTSD, the next you’re manually headshotting cardboard-faced soldiers with your shaky VR aim and a dream.
[hr][/hr]
[h3]Possession Is 9/10ths of the Battlefield[/h3]
One of the wildest parts? You can possess your units. Wanna be the sniper? Boom, you're the sniper. Wanna man the MG nest? Now you're the MG nest. It’s like playing chess, then standing up, kicking the bishop off the board, and becoming the knight yourself. You are the knight now. Deal with it.
[hr][/hr]
[h3]Low-Poly War Crimes (Aesthetic Edition)[/h3]
Visually? It looks like Minecraft and Medal of Honor had an awkward baby—and then forgot to give it a texture budget. But honestly? That low-poly charm grows on you. Watching blocky enemies ragdoll into the dirt after a perfectly timed artillery strike is… art. Cubic, pixelated, slightly cursed art.
[hr][/hr]
[h3]The Gameplay Loop of “Just One More Wave”[/h3]
The missions are short, but intense. You place units, reinforce the base, then desperately try to survive waves of attackers that get smarter, meaner, and more likely to drop you mid-respawn. It’s addictive in that “laughing while crying” kind of way. One minute you're a strategic genius, the next your entire frontline is on fire and you're hiding in a trench wondering if you left the oven on.
[hr][/hr]
[h3]What I Loved[/h3]
– The absurd joy of switching from commander to soldier mid-fight
– Manually reloading in VR while under fire = peak chaos fun
– Grenade tossing is an art. A very imprecise, hilarious art.
– Watching my squad actually hold the line... before all dying simultaneously
[hr][/hr]
[h3]What Could Be Better[/h3]
– It’s janky. Like, “Is that guy floating or just having a moment?” janky
– Content’s a bit light—after a few maps and modes, you’ve seen it all
– Controls can go from “immersive” to “WHAT IS HAPPENING” real quick
– AI is about as sharp as a soup spoon with a helmet
[hr][/hr]
[b]Final Thoughts:[/b]
Out of Ammo is the kind of game that feels like a fever dream cooked up by a sleep-deprived general and a VR dev with a caffeine problem. It’s buggy. It’s limited. It’s occasionally unfair. And yet, it’s a hilarious blast of pure VR adrenaline. Like tower defense met improv comedy—and both brought grenades.
[b]Final Score: 7.2/10[/b]
A fun base defender game, it works great in VR, but you can get overwhelmed very fast.
Algo defasado ya, tiene muchos años, sin embargo, lo recomiendo debido a que, cuesta poco, y ofrece una experiencia buena para aquellos que llevan menos de 100h en VR, si llevas más probablemente le veas las costuras.
Para echar unas 10h al juego y pasárselo está bien, ayuda que es cooperativo, me lo pasé con un amigo y estuvo gracioso.
good

Really good game but lack of updates make it kind sad, would recommend it.
9/10
radio is too difficult to grab, and when you do it's too easy to call a airstrike on yourself
Ngl this game is so fire love being able to control them and mow down the enemy. Love how this was also made in NZ
This game doesn't work in the multiplayer. If you try to reload your gun with a button, it breaks the unit and you can't reload or shoot anymore. The overall performance in the multiplayer is very choppy too...
It's just a tech demo made for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift in the very early days of modern VR. Not really worth your time these days. But that's not the developer's fault. IMO they are talented, hard-working, even released an update back in 2020 and did a phenomenal job overall. if you feel like supporting them financially by buying this game like I did, then do that by all means. They do deserve it. However, a tech demo is exactly what it is: a tech demo, and buyers should be made aware of that.
타워 디펜스에 맨 오브 워 시리즈의 유닛 직접조작 기능을(1인칭으로) 더한 VR 디펜스 게임입니다.
유닛을 배치하고 건물을 세우는 과정은 생각보다 재미있었습니다.
마치 미니어처를 보는 것 같은데, 그 미니어처가 조종됩니다.
20라운드의 웨이브를 버텨낼 동안 HQ를 지켜내는 것이 목표입니다.
문제는 게임 말엽에 꼭 등장하는 전차가 너무 난이도를 높입니다.
이걸 상대하기에는 대전차병이 너무 적기 때문에, 공습이나 포격으로 잡아야 하는데,
이놈에 전차는 매번 보병마냥 우리집 문앞까지 달려들어와서, 진내사격이 불가피한 상황을 만들어버리기 때문에 별 수 없이 전차 하나 잡다가 제 손으로 초가 삼간 다 태우고 눈물 흘리며 리타이어 하는 일이 꽤나 있습니다.
또한 모든 소총이 AR-15계열의 차징핸들 방식으로 작동하는데, 볼트액션 소총을 차징핸들 당기고 있으니까 상당히 골때립니다.
미얀마 내전의 영상자료들을 보면, 연식이 오래된 M 16이 매 발마다 기능고장이나서 볼트액션처럼 쏘는 장면이 자주 보이는데, 직접 해보니까 그들이 얼마나 힘든 전투를 치루고 있는 것인지 알 수 있었습니다.
제 베이스를 다양한 각도에서 보면서 조종하고 설계하는 것이 재미는 있는데,
게임특성 자체가 굳이 VR 환경일 필요성은 없는 것 같습니다....
아무튼
새로운 경험의, 짧고 가벼운 게임을 원하신다면 구매해볼 가치는 있는 것 같습니다.
추천 드립니다.
Great for a game under $10.
Has some bugs, can't easily grab the radio. Needs a feature to be able to identify unit types better.
I don't give thumbs up though for bug related issues. Especially for games that have been out for this long.
One of the OG VR games
Ehhh... Out of many older vr games, this one got a shorter end of the stick due to relying on gunplay for it's main sell; something which was inevitably going to advance in quality and complexity over time.
I wouldn't waste your breath with this nowadays. 5/10
This game is a tad clunky but is fun for what it is: a 2016 VR game that needs work.
Unfortunately even though its been out for 8 years, it still isn't "done" so maybe consider that before buying.
Despite that I enjoyed all the time playing it so I will recommend so long as you know there is a limited game here
super wow 🦞😏
very fun
Fun game but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do they need to learn what audio levels are and that you need an options menu during rounds.
A fun little arcade game, like a VR version of the Toy Soldiers tower defense games.
My friend kept blowing up my defenses, 32 friendly kills every match. I hate him now, but this game is still fun.
This game is nuts. Highly addictive, very satisfying, visceral and fun. Also a great work-out.
its pretty fun
it good
i need more bullets
pp
I AM NOT OUT IN FACT OUT OF AMMO. HAH
This was an awesome game, I played it years ago. It's a shame that the game was abandoned as it was a unique vr game at the time. It progressively gets harder every wave and eventually gets overwhelming, glad I got to play this game during it's time, sad to see it end so soon.
tower defence
tyn
It's like playing with army men toy when I was a child!
Loved the missions, and probably close to one of the best tower defense vr games, just because there are barely any other vr tower defense games 6/10 needs more updates and kind of weird sometimes.
Out of ammo! Gotta reload my infinite bullets
das spiel ist so gut aber leider ist das spiel viel zu kurz da könnte man mehr drauß machen.
Amazing game to play with friends or by yourself. The way you play is never boring and is always fun and exciting. For barely the price of a lunch this is one of the best games I've ever played. Definitely recommend.
Was good in the earlier days of VR but there are now better options (Doesnt mean the game is bad its just you could get better games for the same price)
ja sehr gut
Brrrrr in VR
This was awesome for a first play through, but the developer stopped working on it, and it remains in a very beta mode that limits its replayability. I recommend not giving them any money unless they fix the game. It's sad because this had a lot of potential.
Gutes Spiel, leider zu wenig Spieler und keine Updates
Best tower defence game i've found for vr. Simple but fun.
how the hell do i beat city
its a kinda bad asset flip and it is very much too hard
好玩，就是我家RPG小兵妥妥内鬼，我把他放哨塔里边下一秒连人带塔给自己炸没了，我放下边不管他炸坏我一个机枪两个沙袋一个哨塔，我太难了。游戏好像只能单手拿枪，带瞄镜的枪我用着有点难受，狙击枪瞄人老是半天对不准。

"Holy." is the first thing i said when i started my first round
this game is *not* a work of art.
This is a
-fast action
-challenging
-fps
-builder
game
i got it when it was on sale, this was one of the best vr games i have in my library.
P.S i play on quest 2 and the controller position is a tad bit off but whatever still fun.
P.S.S the dev(s) left. the game made them their money and they left. if there was a medium option for a steam review i would tick that one.
8/10
Lots of small issues that built up to me not enjoying this game at all. It's a really interesting concept for VR, but it feels unfinished and sloppy. Movement is not intuitive at all, it's the basic aim-and-teleport system with snap turning and no way to configure it. The AI is trash, and you're restricted from possessing your troops too much (which is like... the most interesting part of the game and why I even bought it...). The sniper gave me a lot of trouble such as aiming being smoothed when I would prefer an option for movement to be 1:1, and also it was buggy as hell trying to reload.
If you must get this game, get it on sale.
toy soldiers
I didnt liked the game so i gave it back but Nice to play if you really like BAAM Squad.
갓겜
This game is REALLY fun.
However the major downside is that i feel it was abandoned. I havent seen an update for as long as i can remember, but it gets repetative. Perhaps if there was a modding community it would be much better?
it used to be good when there wasnt many options for vr but now it gets out done by so many games
not worth the price
TD塔防结合FPS射击 可以上帝模式发号施令 亦可第一人称身临其境 还有联机闯关（虽然总是匹配不到人）非常有意思的VR游戏 希望能够支持中文
EXTREMELY FUN **CONCEPT**, but its really honestly sad to see how the devs abandonned the game
wayyy to hard
pls remove narrator its so annoying please im begging on my hands and knees to please remove it its pissing me off to the maximum extent pls im begging
Bockt nicht
Dickes Kriegs und Schießmagnat
Gute
A fun concept, but does not translate well into a VR setting. Might be better with Keyboard and mouse, or with better balancing- it introduces concepts too fast, too soon, without the proper strategy having been learnt. In addition to that, the possession controls of the soldiers is clunky, with weapons glitching out and randomly returning to the holster (not good when you have 10 dudes shooting at you). BUT, it is cheap, with it being like $2 on a sale, and when the weapons work, and you're not getting swarmed by enemies, it can be a fun game. However, in its current state, I do not recommend it.
Great VR game, I would love to see more special chalenges.
Простая, но увлекательная игра на несколько вечеров.
it takes less than two hours you know what that means
An excellent proof-of-concept with very little polish. Grenades constantly either drop straight down or fall through the world, reloading is very janky and half the time you'll just end up pulling out a grenade and activating it, which in turn will kill one or more of your units. Several other mechanics are so poorly implemented that they actively detract from the few good elements. Feel free to try it out if it's on a major sale, but otherwise I recommend against it
very underrated vr title!
Sehr schönes VR-Spiel, auch kooperativ macht es viel Spaß.
6/10
Not a lot of re-playability, but the missions that are there are pretty good.
There's multiplayer, but there's consistently only 1 or 2 people available to play, and you really get in each other's way. So multiplayer is sort of a bust
Very good game for 8.19€ or in my case 2.04€
This game is awesome and a steal at 1.79
Best money ive spent this sale so far for value for money
rts tower defense fps all combined probably one of the best vr games I have
Yes
Also known as "Abandoned Dean Hall Game Number 16"
It's pretty fun, though, if definitely dated. Worth the 10 bucks!
got this game on sale, neat little time sink game. dont expect a crazy polished game. definitely some bugs but i would like to more attention to this game from both devs and players. just be like me and pretend youre the imperial guard holding off waves of heretics and xenos.
The movement is "teleport" style by default and the grab actions are done with the trigger always. That bothered me but there is no option to change it. Also I always try to use smooth camera turn rather than snap, but this cannot be changed either.
As you "possess" the units, I found the gun control rather clunky and I kept grabbing things I didn't want to.
The concept is fun, but it needs a few more user settings for a better experience
.
It's a great game just needs a few tweaks here and there.
1. give a small grace period in between waves so that you can have time to prep for the next wave.
2. The chopper should bring men and supplies after every round not just when you lose something, or at the pre-programmed times.
3. As you get further on in waves you should be given better quality units as well as more of the better defenses. Such as the bunker and Machine gun bunker.
other than those few things the game is good.
good
ja
i wish they had this game in the oculus store so that i could play this my quest 2 doesnt connect to my pc so i dont have the opportunity to play this
Not updated for use with index controllers, won't work at all. Not a finished game.
A cheap tower defense game with the ability to take control over individual units. A good game to play by yourself of with friends. The campaign is short and is the same thing on different maps but has some fun replayability to try and beat a high score. It also includes three challenges that are pretty fun and unique from the rest of the campaign. its also a good game to get some achievements to 100%.
In my opinion worth the cheap price tag!
friendly rocket units can and will randomly target enemies and destroy your structures. friendly fire should be off for rpgs.
Great low-poly FPS/Tower Defense game. It's use of "god mode" (that's when you can hover over the entire map and interact with your units) and FPS mode work really well together. With a campaign and some sidequest missions which are FPS exclusive, you'll have a great time playing this.
Unfortunately it is a bit short, at the time of writing I have played for about an hour and have already completed a little less then half the game. Don't let this put you off though, as there's still endless modes you can play.
Also, it should be noted that multiplayer DOES work! I don't know why people are saying it doesn't, I'm able to join and create multiplayer servers just fine.
All in all, great game especially when you buy it on sale. (It's really the only time you should buy this though.)
If it's on sale? Worth it for two hours of entertainment. But definitely a bit janky.
digital child's room
This game is poorly made and I'm having trouble with the hitboxes for grabbing onto something as well as the way you pick stuff up. Also there are only very few settings to adjust and I couldnt even switch my dominant hand.
This game was fun for a awhile but it can get repetitive over a period of time. I wish there was a in the middle instead of yes or no cause i found it fun but i didn't like how you had to possess someone to become them and then you could not move so when your getting shot at, your stuck getting raped by gun fire. This would be alot better if you could move around. 5/10
a little buggy
Could have been a good game but the realoading is badly made, the gun doesn't feel realistic.
The "tower defense" mode is good but not excellent.
i drink peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Painfully unfinished, has a lot of potential but it is far from a good game
.
Multiplayer doesn't work
A lot of fun, but there is no more support from the devs
