Nighthaw-X3000

This game stylistically is amazing. i love neon 80's art style and this game is dripping in it. i am also a huge old school arcade fan and especially of the shooter variety. this should absolutely be my thing...........but it isnt. lots of modern developers seem to be putting together aestheticall pleasing games and yet making a hsh of the most important imngredient 'FUN'. id like to mention that the soundtrack is fantstic and i nkeeping with the 80's vibe, again another huge plus. but the slow gameplay, awkward dodge mechanic and the absolutely downright dreadful power up system murders what should of been a great game. my advice is to speed it all up and add lots more of in level power ups, a game with tons of enemies and weak weapons is just dull. i wnated to love it but i simply dont. one play of twenty minutes was enpough to know i wont bother again, i just wished i hadnt paid full price for it.

As good as (or better than) many other SHMUPs avaialble on Steam. You have a dodge/teleport button, a super button, etc. The direction of your attacks is automatic (straight ahead) so aside from orienting your ship in the right spot to take out the waves of enemies and be aware of your own hitbox to evade their many attacks there's not much to the gameplay. The level design can be a little bit bland, consisting of little more than a solid color and some grid lines or lasers to dodge. Although the levels progress in a "constantly viewing the horizon approaching" vertical shooter kind of way seen in other games of the genre, the game often has a cool effect of exaggerating how much this is "rolling" toward you, and often tilts the horizon to make for an interesting effect while progressing. The game provides various enemies with different attack patterns to mix up the gameplay often enough, and you are able to select to swap your weapon or keep the one you have at level's end after def...

Really cool graphics, awesome music and nice story xD The difficulty was just on point IMO. *deep breath* arcade :') <3

Old school shooter with greate '80s style presentation. For Me is hard, demanding lot concentration game. Worth to play and recommend. Elektryk grad

A nice SHMUP that gives the sort of NES vibe from years past. Part of the difficulty comes down to memorizing how enemies act, boss patterns, and obstacle/hazard placement in some cases. The soundtrack is awesome and goes well with the gameplay.

Love it and kinda hate it. It's a great looking game with a kick ass soundtrack, love the overall style of it all. Plays nicely for the most part. My main complaint is how it's much more a game of "avoid everything and run for your life" than a SHMUP. Your weapons hit like wet noodles, you can hardly kill 2-3 of the 40 enemies on screen, which almost makes it pointless to even be firing at times. Maybe it's balanced around coop? I'll be trying this soon, so we'll see. But still, it's a very well made game and I recommend it for someone looking for something a little between a regular SHMUP and a bullet hell (sort of).
