About AIRA VR
You believed tower defense is only about building towers? That's not quite right – because AIRA VR is not like other tower defense games in virtual reality. Once the battle starts you find yourself in the midst of the fight! AIRA VR merges the strategic elements of the tower defense genre and the thrilling action of a first person shooter in an intelligent manner and combines the best of both worlds. Thereby, AIRA VR is the first game of its kind that is exclusively developed for VR and offers you an unprecedented gaming experience.
The game consists of two phases. The strategic phase starts in the command ship, where the player maps out a defensive strategy by building towers on the holographic tactic table. In the action phase the player will be teleported into the level itself to actively prevent the enemy spaceships from destroying our facility alongside his towers. By progressing through the game, you can unlock different towers and powerful weapons, each needing to be handled differently, to fight against increasingly stronger and diverse types of enemies.
Centuries ago, a merciless conflict has raged on earth between humans and machines for supremacy on the planet. The consequences of the war for the ecosystem were disastrous and earth was left uninhabitable in the end. Almost all organic life forms were annihilated. Only a few humans succeeded to flee in the nick of time. However, from then on they were mercilessly hunted by the machines named Skilith.
Dive into the leading role of one of the last surviving humans and become the commander-in-chief on the spaceship of the Blue Science Union. Always by your side stands the artificial intelligence named AIRA. Embark on an interstellar journey across the galaxy and discover fascinating new worlds with yet unknown species.
Since the violent take-over of power on earth, the Skilith continued to spread across the universe. While doing so, they continued to conquer new civilizations to rob them of their resources. Now, it is your duty to defend remaining resources at any cost. Only this way our continued existence may be guaranteed.
Unexpectedly, AIRA discovers a new element on a so far unknown planet, creating a spark of hope on being able to still rescue the ecosystem on earth. Unfortunately, not every species is pleased about humans founding new colonies in their territory...

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] [i]Please note: I received a free Steam key through the Steam Curator Connect program to review this game.[/i] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/fTvQmfp3KKA This was a tough game for me to review because there's certain things that I really enjoyed about this game. However, there were also lots of issues that were difficult to ignore. In the end, I am deciding to give this game a neutral recommendation. There is a surprising amount of depth & content to this Tower Defense game. Each wave seems to bring a new weapon to use or a new enemy to fight. You can upgrade towers, buy new towers with new abilities, or use new weapons or tools on your avatar to help with the enemy annihilation. This game is also very approachable. Even when you fail in a wave, you still get more money to improve your defenses. So definitely, the story mode is pretty easy as long as you keep at it. You will always have the ability to improve your defenses. And when you quit the game and come back, you'll have all your money back and you can decide what to buy and what to upgrade. The bad news is that almost the rest of the…5 found this helpful
Found it during the summer sale, i'm playing with a rift s. A nice tower defense for 6 bucks. I was surpised by the amount of content! There are many towers, weapons and tools. I really like the gun where you have to crank. The performance is good, it seems to be well polished, even if u can see that it is a small indie title. - Exceeds Expectations :)4 found this helpful
A Tower Defense of the special kind. I love Tower Defense and have been a big fan of the genre since Warcraft III. A while ago a friend of mine asked if I wanted to try out this Tower Defense VR game he developed. Intrigued because I never played a VR game before I said yes and stayed close to the development ever since. AIRA captured me immediately, the combination of Hero Tower Defense in which you can not only build towers but also control a hero in the midst of the action and VR is incredibly fun. The game starts by slowly teaching you the basics and then picks up speed very fast and gets ever more challenging the further you get. The pacing is very good and pretty much after every cleared round you get a bigger arsenal of weapons, towers and tools. Additionally you can change your tower setup, upgrade them or buy upgrades for weapons. The towers have a wide variety of designs and functions, the tools are incredibly fun (for example an elevator to get an overview or to snipe enemies) and then there are the weapons ... I love the weapons, pretty much every single one especially their designs. There are the basics like pistols or a bow and then there are weapons like flameth…4 found this helpful
Very good game! check out my full review here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kogaAFhk1uY&feature=youtu.be3 found this helpful
It's good. The only issue I really have with it is with the movement. It often doesn't go where I want it to go, which makes it really difficult when trying to chase down runners.2 found this helpful
Game random crash and freeze very often when between warping between the wave.1 found this helpful
