Changed my mind to "not recommend", but I think it requires detailed explanation. The game is not completely bad - but there are so many bad elements that adds up and start poisoning the fun. What I liked and what feels good: + Clean visuals with almost no visual noise. + Music and sound, voice acting + Guns are big which is good for VR - easier to aim. + No stupid reloading, shooting pistols and grenade launcher feels rewarding. + Entering and leaving level happens without loading But there are issues I wish to explain in details: - When on a base between missions, the interface is blocked until the narration ends. And it happens after each mission - you can't choose next mission or access upgrades menu before voice finishes speaking. Very dumb, very annoying. - Building turrets in a mission consumes the main resource. And it is never explained to player. You may finish the mission but with almost 0 money left. That is especially demotivating when the mission was hard to beat: you p...

One big flaw. Everytime I unposses a turret, I reappear far away from the controls....not kewl.
I tried it but got a refund. I've got far superior tower defence games in 2d that I haven't fully played yet. The controls in this are terrible. Sparse graphics and the game play is just tedious. The guns feel like pea shooters. Not immersive at all. The VR does nothing for it.
I LIKE this game! The combination of FPS and TD is really good. I'm an average FPS player and my favorite casual game is tower defense and at first I was a bit skeptic if this might work, but I'm surprised how well it does. The devs seems passionate about the game so my only wish is more creeps to shoot at.. oh, and a 1v1 moba style gamemode would be awesome! 🙂
Great combination of Tower Defense, FPS, you have to shoot fast think fast and manage your resources. The intro was great, basically earth died, some humans went to space to find another planet and halfway there there are some problems, you are awaken to help solve them. (mainly robotic looking spiders are stealing your voronium, and you have to kill them) You can place your towers along the path the enemies can take, you can see a very cool 3d map of the area and plan accordingly. Your main tower is the one you can control, others are the usual fast shooting, slowshooting, explosives and slowmo towers. All of them can be upgraded outside the levels to make them more powerful the next time. Performance was great, graphics are a little simple but they look alright, voices are well done, it really feels polished in most aspects. There arent that many different enemies that i could see (so far only 2), and i could only open up 3 different levels i could replay, i dont know if ill ev...
overall i say try it there is no options menu cant change vr turning cant recenter your view meaning u have to stay in your playspace orgin and face the right way a decent tower defense game in vr
Valve Index controllers don't work, I can move my hands around, but that's all the interaction I can do.
Surprisingly good. Takes a bit to understand how everything works but once you do it's great strategic setup first half leading to tower defense second half.
I really enjoyed playing this game. It's pretty challenging and gets intense when there's a lot of enemies attacking you. But once you pick up an effective strategy, the game tends to be to easy. The game is definitely worth it when it's on sale. It would be worth the full price if it were to have more content. Overall: Great game with easy to learn controls
Too much like every other tower defence game, just not as good.
