Out of Ammo is a unique game and has a lot about it that makes it very enjoyable. The biggest problem it has is the scale. It does a great job at bringing the small battles to life, but lacks the ability to have a full on war. There is definitely the opportunity to have a second attempt and release a second game that is far bigger in scale. Until then, this game is fun, but it feels more like a tech demo than a full on game.

Critic reviews
- 2.0Even with what looks like decent ideas on paper, the implementation of just about everything in Out of Ammo is heinous. Looking for any semblance of positivity is like trying to find something new to watch on Netflix before your takeaway gets cold. No matter how good your day has been, Out of Ammo is willing and able to bring you down with a thump. You have been warned.
- While a lot of focus on VR games comes from playing games in a first-person view, it’s great to have a change of pace with a real-time strategy game that includes an FPS element. On the outside, Out of Ammo doesn’t look inviting. Once you’re plopped in to the battlefield and realize all the small things needed to win on top of managing a base, though, it’s enthralling. The controls take a while to get comfortable with, but you’ll notice your own progression. As great as Resident Evil 7 or Gran Turismo Sport are in VR, Out of Ammo is the most fun I’ve had with PSVR. Just make it so players can retry a mission and not force them to exit out.
- 2.0The pitch for Out of Ammo sounds interesting on paper, but the execution is probably the worst PSVR game that I have ever played. Out of Ammo makes far too many critical mistakes as a virtual reality title, mistakes that even launch games managed to avoid. I spent more time fighting with the systems and mechanics than I did actually playing the game, but anytime I did get a fleeting moment of play, it wasn’t worth the effort expended to get there.
- The core of Out of Ammo is a decent strategy/shooter hybrid, offering a unique take on both genres. The low quality visuals will turn off a lot of players, but the style is actually pretty fun. What kills a lot of the fun is the lack of PSVR customization, taking a room scale game and putting it into a much more restrictive space. Once you get past this it will be a decent amount of fun, but the lack of variety does diminish the real value of the game.
- 8.0Out of Ammo is a fun, cute, violent VR first-person shooter that I definitely recommend to PSVR owners, especially at the decent price of $20.00. The first-person gameplay is where the game really shines, offering immersion to the genre that only VR can. It’s arcade-style endless wave of survival isn’t exactly my bag, and I found the fun faded the longer I played.
