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.
This is a very nice looking, fun and difficult shoot em up game. The art style is amazing and the colors are so nice and bright. It reminds me of something you might see on a SNES back in the day at least in terms of colors. Only a couple of times I felt like the enemy projectiles did not stand out enough against the backgrounds colors but for the most part everything worked well and practice definitely improved my dodging skills. The music is absolutely amazing in this game. Each level has a different Synthwave track and I found it very enjoyable both playing and listening to the music. The bosses were fun and one boss that I thought was pretty lame morphed and turned out to be crazy hard, it was a nice surprise. There is some variety when playing through the game since you can choose different weapons between matches to change up how you play the game but I wish there was perhaps one or two more levels. While 8 levels is good, 9 or 10 would be great. I also wish there was a way to get into the other game modes without having to beat the game first as it is very hard in those later levels. I would definitely recommend this game to people who enjoy shmups and especially if you love the retro 80's style. At full price I think the game rides the line of fairness when it comes to price vs content and game length. If you have someone else for local co-op play you'll get even more out of the game.

yes idd, the 3th level takes some time :D It's a great game, great music, everything is good and you can play it co op with a friend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlFjHQZ7pkQ
The music in this game is something special - you gotta hear it. The whole gameplay gives a nice vibe and along with the music and short play-session times it's a nice game to chill out for a while. I have yet to beat the second boss due to my exceptional dexterity but will not give up that easily.
Innover dans le domaine du shoot'em up peut paraitre chose compliqué de nos jours. Et pourtant, certains développeurs s'y essaient et parfois reussissent. Ce n'est pas vraiment le cas ici. Tout part d'une bonne intention. Un style années 80 que ce soit dans la BO que dans les visuels, un scénar simple mais débile qui fera sourire, et enfin un gameplay vertical shooter qui se transforme en Diagonale shooter avec un effet de profondeur digne d'un mode 7 de la super nintendo. Et c'est bien là que va résider mon problème avec ce jeu. Malgré une DA soigné et un gameplay prometteur, je n'ai pas pu jouer au jeu car le jeu me donne la nausée et mal à la tête au bout de quelques minutes. Si vous arrivez à passer au travers, ce qui semble difficile, tant mieux et profitez d'un jeu qui semble plutôt correct. Mais les effets visuels m'ont déglingué le crâne alors allez y molo. + Original Visuellement cool - Le jeu peut filer la nausée et mal au crane
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 defeating the big bosses of each stage. The soundtrack inparticular is good, and the announcer adds to the game's overall well-done arcade-y effect. I do wish you could upgrade your weapons or super by collecting pickups during the levels, but I have liked most all of the weapons you can opt to pickup at the end of the level. The dialog's humor while funny at times (seeing a boss simply titled "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Spider") begins to become one-note (titling the boss right after that "A Tiny ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Planet") The standouts of the game for me are the boss fights and the soundtrack, as the soundtrack thumps along and you dodge the bosses' screen-filling attacks. I'm a fan of the new retro wave esque soundtrack so that probably adds immensely to how much I enjoy the game, but if you're a fan of the retro SHMUP genre I think you will probably enjoy this game.

Nighthaw-X3000 une jeu qui a du potentiel ! Mais qui n'en use pas assez... Les + : - Ambiance années 80's revisitée "à la mode" pas mal - Graphismes soignés, de qualité - Musique qui colle parfaitement au style Les - : - Action suffisante...mais on se lasse vite - Vagues d'ennemis redondantes et peu créatives - Peu d'upgrade des armes (elles sont pas vraiment fun) - Gameplay des plus soporifique... c'est ennuyeux... Conclusion : Nighthaw-X3000 à tout le potentiel pour un être un vrai bon shoot them up qui se respecte, mais il manque pas mal de chose pour arriver à ce stade. Une action plus intense, des décors plus riches et variés, des upgrades des armes plus rapides, des bonus intéressants... Un jeu n'est pas que dans le style "accrocheur" mais aussi et surtout dans le gameplay et l'expérience du joueur. Je recommande ce jeu pour encourager le développeur à approfondir son projet...
