Evaluation
Blue Effect VR launched out of Early Access on February 8–9, 2017, shipping with several new additions including a Railroad level, the Raptor enemy, and an expanded Hide & Seek PvP mode. Prior to that launch, the developer had been active throughout late 2016 with weekly community updates, new maps, and feature additions — all of which were delivered as part of the 1.0 release.
After the 1.0 launch, the only subsequent developer communication was a brief announcement on November 21, 2017 noting that the game now works with Windows Mixed Reality headsets — a platform compatibility note, not a content update. No further news posts, patches, DLC, or developer statements appear after that date. There are no unreleased DLC listings and no roadmap or promises of additional content made after the 1.0 release.
The game launched as a complete wave-shooter experience and has not received any post-launch content updates. The last developer communication of any kind was November 21, 2017, and the studio has been silent since then — now over eight years ago. The game appears to have shipped as a finished product at its 1.0 release date.

About this game
Welcome on Planet Exo-277. A place where your abilities will be tested. This world belongs to the alien race that doesn't know what defeat means. You will be facing enemies that are ruthless, cruel and mainly terrifying. Survive and become the famous warrior in the universe!
Enter this dark world and enjoy an immersive experience!
Ready Player One
Put on the VR headset and stand your ground against waves of enemies and try to survive until the timer runs out. It might be only three minutes, but you will be sweating bullets by the end. The original experience of Blue Effect just got better with the introduction of a second player!
Ready Player Two
Grab hold of a game controller of your choice and let the hunt begin! Your goal? Seek, scare and exterminate your friend in VR by taking control of one of the horrific monsters lurking in the darkened corners of the Blue Effect world. If you cannot take the pressure of the VR experience, you might give this one a try!
Little Buddy - Do you like the satisfaction of vaporizing an enemy? The burning thrill of shooting a weapon. Well, look no further. Little Buddy, a deadly precise laser pistol that packs a punch, vaporizing anything in its path. And if anything gets too close, the pistol acts as a heavy hitting melee weapon.
Enlightenment - State of the art illumination orb technology powered by Blue Effect energy helps you to enlight the darkest places and spot every enemy.
Blue Effect - A rare energy source developed by Lumos corporation that powers your equipment and is the catalyst for your mission, the people that hired, and the events that will unfold.
Enjoy breathtaking shooting battles in Warehouse level, use the orb to enlight enemies and your gun to finish them.
Or move yourself to Incubator level where your only chance is using two orbs to survive countless waves of enemies.
Last but not least the dream of every gamer. Two weapons in your hands. Show them who the boss is while protecting glory pillars!
But don't be afraid, we will add more in the future!!!
Music soundtrack and sound effects were created by Epic Music Production team. The guy standing behind it is Jaroslav Beck, music composer for various Blizzard's trailers as StarCraft, Overwatch, World of Warcraft or TV spots for Terminator Genisys or Star Wars The Force Awakens.
