Remmber Star Fox? Who doesn’t.
NIGHTSTAR: Rogue Wings offers you a gaming experience that’ll have you drowning in nostalgia.
Think Star Fox with updated graphics, a ton more enemies, and twitch reflexes.
Enter NIGHTSTAR.
You’ll need quick thinking to play this game. Rouge Wings offers an awesome spaceship combat simulator combined with resources management and positioning.
You fly a spaceship with customizable equipment and tons of weapons to use. You have dual primary weapons and dual secondary weapons. You also get a teleport ability on top of that. Your primary weapons are to be used situationally. For example, piercing ammo pierces enemy ships and disruptor ammo removes enemy shields. You need to use them in order (shields first) to take down baddies. Your secondary weapons can be used in conjunction with your primaries. The EMP blastwave takes away huge portions of shields. You’ll also need to position yourself and use the locking ability to hit fast ships. If you think you’re fast enough, go for it. Get this game.
But, spamming your weapons won’t cut it. You need to assess your enemies and environment too. You have missions and you need to complete them. To do so, you need to know each baddies’ weakness and utilize the environment to your advantage (and avoid obstacles). The levels are gorgeous. They’re packed with detail and the atmosphere are very well done. Pair that with a good soundtarck and awesome sound effects, and you have a modern Star Fox on steroids.
NIGHTSTAR: Rogue Wings is in alpha but already looks amazing. You can play it with beta access on Steam.
