Description

What is NIGHTSTAR?

This VR title is a retro inspired, room-scale third-person shooter. You play by moving your Vive Motion Controller in space, shooting a vast variety of enemies, and avoiding obstacles and enemy fire. You progress through the levels by collecting upgrades that not only make your starfighter more powerful but also make the enemies more angry at you.

BACKSTORY

Planet Earth. 1983. You've been selected among millions of gamers to pilot the NIGHTSTAR, an ultimate starfighter with enough firepower to hold back the Drone Coalition.

Will you accept the challenge?

ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO SAVE OUR GALAXY?

NIGHTSTAR brings all the best elements of the classic Arcade Shoot'em Up games to the age of Virtual Reality. Built from the ground up for VR and polished to exhaustion to achieve perfect balance, NIGHTSTAR will take you back to the golden age of arcades, but this time in complete immersion. Intuitive controls and a great variety of well-designed enemies are waiting for you on the other side.

FEATURE LIST
