Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a solo-focused campaign, since the central structure depends on phone-based teammates supporting a VR operative

Our take on Operation Armstrong
The split-role setup gives phone users a way into a VR session, but it also makes the experience depend on a group coordinating around one headset player rather than giving everyone the same controls or viewpoint.
What is Operation Armstrong?
Operation Armstrong is a cooperative stealth game built around two roles.
One player moves through enemy outposts with a VR headset, while teammates connect through a phone browser to guide the operative, clear obstacles, and disrupt the lunar-bots. The group works through missions while avoiding mechanical guards and coordinating its actions. Phone players can enter or leave during a session, with responsibilities redistributed among those who remain connected. The game includes interactable VR environments, level scoreboards, and completion awards. A level editor lets players create additional content, which can be shared online through the Steam Workshop. Its local co-op structure gives spectators a way to participate from smartphones instead of waiting for a turn with the headset.
