PunjiVR
PunjiVR, a hardcore tactical shooter set during the Vietnam War
In PunjiVR, you will assume the role of different soldiers from all sides of the conflict throughout the game’s many missions. Whether you’re clearing out a Viet Cong tunnel, sabotaging US fortifications, setting up an ambush, or just taking part in a large battle, there is no shortage of excitement to be had.
Vietnam is a diverse land, with the mountainous Central Highlands, sprawling urban cities, and muggy swamps of the Mekong Delta just to name a few. PunjiVR strives to cover all of these environments and more, offering unique and unforgettable experiences for each. Experience the Vietnam War like never before.
Gameplay
PunjiVR aims to create a challenging and realistic experience. With death being only a bullet or two away, realistic bullet ballistics and penetration, deadly AI, and the occasional trap, a tactical mindset is a must.
- Nearly everything is physics based, including the full player body, hands, interactables, AI, and more!
- The wide array of firearms were designed to behave realistically while still allowing players unfamiliar with in-depth weapon mechanics to successfully operate them.
- Adjustable difficulty settings, like player health and enemy presence, lets the player match their skill and/or comfort level to gameplay.
Tons of Toys, Tools, & Traps!
Sneak in with an smg, lay an ambush with traps and a belt-fed machine gun, or pick them off from a distance with a sniper rifle!
Bullet Ballistics
Just because there’s something between you and the muzzle of your opponent’s rifle doesn’t mean you’re safe! Bullets can penetrate objects and are dependent on the diameter, weight, and speed of the bullet as well as the angle on impact and material of the object. Not only do bullets pierce materials, they can also ricochet, drop over time and distance, and spread after impact. Just because the small handgun caliber was stopped by your cover doesn’t mean the next rifle round will be!

is no teleportation as a comfort option due to the way each level and gameplay as a whole was designed.
Please keep in mind that PunjiVR is still in Early Access. The game is constantly being worked on and improved. If you have any issues, please let me know through a steam forum post, or in a message at one of the links above.

Absolutely innovative, but *inconsistent*. Love the crawling, the gun jamming, the explosion effects, etc. The mechanics are well thought out, but the execution is really frustrating at times. The inventory is jank, just have it be open all the time like every other VR game! And I cannot tell you how many times I have holstered my weapon in a firefight only to throw the gun into a rice paddy and not notice until i have to run all the way back for it. The backpack has a tendency to activate the "shake to empty" function when you put it on your back, dumping all your items on the ground.
Still, fun as hell, and the only VR vietnam game to my knowledge, outside of modded H3VR. If you love single-dev type games, this is definitely for you.

PunjiVR is being made by 1 person and it shows. However, that one guy clearly has an interest in VR and isn't phoning it in. There's touches of genius in here that say it might be awesome one day. Once multiplayer is added I can see myself putting a lot of time into this. For now, absolutely worth the money just to crawl around in Vietcong tunnels and die to mines. My grandpa would be so proud

this game is amazingly terrifying on the firefight gamemode. The distant tracers and close bullet cracks over such a large area is realistic and really unexplored in most games the m2 brownings feel insane and the sounds are so good. this game has come such a long way. thank you so much sirloin, ts is peak.

Dev is very dedicated to the game and keeps up good updates. Has very niche and innovative features for vr. Has the typical jank.

Guns are very realistic, and there are many unique features, such as physically crawling, fully putting in mags instead of them snapping into place, bipods that move around, and much more.
One of my favorite VR games.

cool game but it's kind of janky and not much content. i recommend it if it's on sale

Fun semi-realistic shooter. There's not a lot of mission variety and the inventory system can be frustrating to manage, but the game is still being actively worked on which is pretty great.
