Let's find out. a09c17d780 Title: NIGHTSTARGenre: Action, IndieDeveloper:SOLIDMESHPublisher:SOLIDMESHRelease Date: 7 Mar, 2017 NIGHTSTAR Verification Download Must get if you ever see this on sale. Wicked game. Yes, Yes Yes! Imagine a development of Vortex in Valve's "The Lab."Imagine no more, it's here in the form of a forward scrolling retro shootem up. Absolutely brilliant use of room scale too, start at the front of your play space and find yourself pressed to the very back of it, by the end of the game. This one has great potential.Wishlist? A few more music tracks and the option to turn off the grid effect on the roof.. Fantastic for all skill levels. This isn't just a wave shooter it's a third person shooter where your hand controls the ship! You use your hand to dodge, aim, and collect power ups while being on the look out for incoming enemies. Looks and feels great for a good price.. the game forces you to play left handed, or right handed using the left controller... very weird. mildly unpleasant on a game that i would otheriwse like. At the moment this game has only positive reviews, so I'm gonna add some negatives before I apply for my refund.- The 8 levels aren't all that different from each other- There seems to be only one boss with two stages- It's too easy. I got to top 50 on my third attempt. Of course my leaderboard position doesn't affect my enjoyment, but for 5-10 minutes while playing with plenty of powerups and killing the boss over and over I felt like nothing was changing and I wasn't being challenged.- Felt like the game required me to raise my controller above my head to best avoid getting hit. This made my shoulder hurt.- It's fairly hard to aimIn conclusion: Get it on sale and see if you like it more than I did.. This is what VR is about!! After getting a Vive 2 weeks ago I have been sampling many games but I kept going back to Xortex as it was the most immersive and most fun. I was wondering why there aren't other games like that. I was pleased to find that another developer has noticed this as well and has done something about it. Nightstarr, although in its infacy, is engaging, addictive, challenging and above all immersive! Well done to the developer, I hope you get the recognition you deserve and inspire other developers to follow suit. I look forward to seeing how Nightstar develops further!!
