Echo VR PC

Echo VR, released on PC, is a first-person action game for virtual reality technology (more specifically Oculus Rift goggles). The title was originally a multiplayer mode for Lone Echo, but then it was separated from it and released as a free-to-play production. Echo VR offers one basic mode, while others are made available as DLC (such as Echo Combat). The game was developed by Ready at Dawn studio (The Order 1886, God of War: Chains of Olympus, God of War: Ghost of Sparta).

Mechanics

Echo VR, available on PC, is an unusual first-person action game in which we compete with other players. Its characteristic feature is that the game takes place in zero gravity conditions. Moving requires attracting oneself to or pushing away from objects, which results in very unusual experiences.

In basic game mode, our task is not so much to destroy enemies (although we can deafen them), but to deliver a glowing disk from our end of the map to the opponents'. It is worth noting that the arena is full of objects that we may collide with, and the disk can be easily lost. The winner is the team that manages to accumulate more points before a certain time has elapsed.

An interesting additional solution is to allow the five additional players to watch the matches and talk to each other in a kind of lobby. The game also offers training space, where we can polish our skills while waiting for the next match.

Game modes

Echo VR only has a multi-mode network mode. The matches are played between two five-person teams.

Technical aspects

Echo VR is characterized by an attractive three-dimensional graphics design. Both the game world and character models have been prepared with great attention to detail. The atmosphere of the science fiction world also makes a good impression. The production uses Oculus Rift virtual reality goggles, thanks to which it is able to provide impressions and level of immersion unattainable in the case of classic first-person shooters.
