About Voronium - Locust Sols
Voronium - Locust Sols takes place on a planet far from our known world. In the wake of mankind’s destruction of the earth a quest to find a new home has begun. Due to the enormous distances of space, this expedition is lead by machines and highly sophisticated AI all relaying on Voronium.
Voronium is a material, so versatile and energy dense it defies the laws of physics. It’s the energy source that replaced all others. But though the universe is vast – mankind and their AI are not the only species interested in the energy. Your job is to secure the Voronium mining operations, and destroy anything that gets in the way.

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 put a lot of effort and the payoff is in reverse proportion. The game forces you to replay easier missions where you can win without extra turrets at all. - Guns available to the player. The first two …4 found this helpful
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 eventually open up more. Overall is one of the best tower defence games in VR, but it still feels a bit simple and repetitive, definitively worth it if you are a fan of the genre, or if you get it on s…2 found this helpful

Valve Index controllers don't work, I can move my hands around, but that's all the interaction I can do.1 found this helpful
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.1 found this helpful
I enjoyed and liked this game alot, been some time since I've had a headset that supports it though it seemed until I tried the alpha version! Before that idea I was only left with awful full white screen flashes whenever I turn with the snap turning controls while unable to go past the level select area because this game does not take Meta Quest 3 inputs except for motion unless you're on the Alpha version. I really liked this game but I'm really hoping it can get more attention still! please dev, this is a GEM of VR titles! Would recommend the game highly. This game used to play well on my original Oculus Rift too on the regular release version. I AM SO HAPPY IT WORKS AGAIN WITH THE ALPHA VERSION
