The game is visually impressive with polished graphics and a fun bullet-time mechanic.
It offers a variety of weapons and enemy types, making the gameplay engaging and easy to pick up.

The story in "VR Invaders" is described as basic and not particularly compelling, yet it provides a narrative framework that distinguishes it from typical wave shooters. While the audio and voice acting are decent, some players find the cutscenes and dialogue excessive and distracting. Overall, the game sets the stage for potential sequels, making it a passable experience for those seeking a story-driven element in a VR shooter.
- “Vr Invaders is a story-driven game.”
- “For me, these wave shooters are entertaining for a bit and because VR Invaders actually had a 'story', I was tempted to stick through it over just 'wave #'s' like most traditional wave shooters.”
- “It's hard to shoehorn a decent story into a flying drone wave shooter.”
- “Just be sure to turn the story mode off at the start options as it's just a load of talking during the game that gets annoying.”
- “The story isn't mind-blowing, but there is a story with a possible sequel as this appears to be the first chapter in a series.”

The gameplay is characterized as a polished wave shooter that offers engaging mechanics and a variety of weapons, including plasma, shotgun, and laser options. Players appreciate the straightforward objective of "kill everything," which makes it easy to pick up and play, while the bullet time mechanic adds an enjoyable twist. However, some users express a desire for more strategic powerup management, as the current system forces immediate use upon collection.
- “Essentially it's a wave shooter with you standing on a platform that covers your back, so you focus on things coming towards you, so no motion sickness. Enemies are robots, so there's no blood. The gameplay instructions are 'kill everything,' making it easy to get into and start playing.”
- “The bullet time mechanic is fun and key to the game.”
- “Absolutely wonderful gameplay, a great polished wave shooter, totally worth the money!”
- “Essentially, it's a wave shooter where you stand on a platform that covers your back, so you focus on things coming towards you. There is no motion sickness, and the enemies are robots, so there's no blood. The gameplay instructions are 'kill everything,' making it easy to get into and start playing.”
- “There is a good variety of weapons, including plasma, shotgun, laser, rapid-fire, and dual wielding. However, like other wave shooters, I wish I could grab power-ups and save them for when I need them instead of instantly using them upon grabbing, which even replaces your previous unfinished power-up. Most, if not all, wave shooters use the same mechanic.”
