The gameplay is a blend of action combat and tower defense mechanics, offering a fun and engaging experience with satisfying gunplay and intuitive controls. While improvements have been made, particularly in throwing mechanics, some players feel the gameplay lacks variety and could benefit from additional modes or challenges. Overall, the game is praised for its humor, engaging storyline, and smooth mechanics, making it a standout title in the VR genre.
“Fun gameplay, excellent mechanics, funny story and voice acting.”
“The guns and reloading are so satisfying and the gameplay gets frantic and terrifying when you hear the laughs of the gunmen coming.”
“Gameplay consists of a mix of pure first-person fights for survival in a variety of locations and real-time strategy/tower defense-like missions which have you towering over the battle like some sort of giant, ordering defenses to be constructed and upgraded or leaping into the action directly by taking control of a survivor.”
“This game could so easily have been well worth a recommendation but sadly it falls short due to gameplay which does not encourage variety and never throws new stuff into the mix.”
“This then repeated itself, cool events would happen part way through in the maps but they would herald no change in gameplay.”
“Out of Ammo 1 had great gunplay, the only problem I had with it was the throwing mechanics being totally disgusting and that essentially made grenades useless.”

The game's story is described as humorous and engaging, featuring a mix of first-person missions and tower defense gameplay that adds variety to the experience. While players appreciate the comedic elements and character interactions, some feel that character development is lacking during strategy stages, and the overall campaign may be too short. Despite these criticisms, the story is seen as a significant improvement over its predecessor, with potential for future expansions.
“The campaign in ooa2 is an actual story-driven campaign.”
“There is a story to this game instead of it being a tower defense wave shooter.”
“It has a story and a very humorous zombie environment; I laughed several times finding my all-time favorite weapon inside: a stylized Gibson Flying V electric guitar used as an axe, which is actually a dangerous thing to manage for your safety even in real life.”
“The only time first person combat is really important is during the first person campaign missions; I will go into why those are the worst later.”
“There is a story in this game, but there isn't any difficulty progression until the final level, which I only nearly failed on my first try.”
“Only concern is the length of the game; I have only done 3 missions, but there doesn't seem to be that many, not sure.”
