What is Blue Effect VR?

This first-person VR shooter takes place on the alien planet Exo-277, where a rare energy source powers your equipment and drives your mission. You defend your position against timed enemy waves using laser pistols or energy orbs, with different equipment across levels. In local versus play, a second player uses a controller to hunt the headset wearer as a monster.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy jump scares and threats approaching in darkness
  • +you want head-to-head play with only one VR headset

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer free exploration over defending a fixed position
  • −you want a story-driven adventure rather than short survival challenges
