About this game

Blue Rider is a top-down shooter set in a bright environment fighting robot enemies.

There is no story to the game, the player controls a craft that hovers slightly above the ground and needs to complete nine biomes, unlocked gradually, fighting enemies and at the end of a level always a boss.

It is not a twin-stick shooter as there is freedom of movement in any direction to progress through the linear stages, without automatic scrolling, but shooting is always done in a fixed direction.

While shooting the player needs to slightly rotate the ship to guide the bullets in the desired direction.

The ship can only take a small number of hits before it explodes and then the entire stage needs to be replayed.

There are often multiple enemies on the screen creating 'bullet hell' situations where a large amount of bullets needs to be dodged.

Sometimes there are chasms or lava the ship can hover over, but these drain health as well.

Next to mere completing the level, the goal is also to get a high score, based on a stage score combined with secrets, a time bonus and a health bonus.

A lot of points can be scored through a score multiplier called 'rampage', encouraging the player to string together encounters quickly to counter the steady decrease of the rampage bar.

Maintaining a high rampage provides rewards, such as an extra life.

Next to the strafe-like movement to dodge bullets, there is a separate button to boost and move faster.

The ship has a primary weapon with an unlimited amount of ammo and a secondary one, often shooting poweful rockets.

The secondary weapon has a limited amount of ammo.

About PlayStation 4

The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.

Gamevaro tracks Blue Rider for PlayStation 4 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Blue Rider to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS4 release dates back to 2016.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Blue Rider, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 4 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
