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!!
This game is fun and engaging. But i have to give it a low score for a couple reasons: the time in and out of missions is far too long - 15-30 seconds of waiting around to start or restart a match that honestly only lasts about 2 min anyway, i spend more time waiting than playing. The other thing i dislike is that the game always wants me to play left handed, i have to unstrap and re strap the left controller to the right side in order to play comfortably. Finally there is no menu or "start button screen." If i hadn't purchased this game on sale for $2.00 in be a little put out, a little more development and this could be a highly competitive title.

This is the game that I always come back to. It really makes you aware of your virtual space. As my friend stated "Now THIS is what im talking about!". :waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrps:
Nightstar is very much like The Lab's Xortex, but different in enough ways as to merit being a seperate game. That said, if you like Xortex, you'll certainly like Nightstar. It is very much the standard, controller becomes spaceship, shooter game but it adds powerups, wingmen, and even objectives (protect fleeing spaceships) to the mix. While one can say it is repetive, etc... having grown up on Galaga and classic games ike that, I get that a good game does not have to be deep or long in content to be enjoyable. Sometimes simply being a shooter game can be good. Thankfully the developer has added constant firing as an option to save your controller from the beating it would take otherwise. Overall, this is one Vive game that I find myself going into for a quick game often. It is also one I use to demo the Vive to people with since it is so straight forward and reminds one of old school arcade games. Therefore I highly recommend it to everyone as a VR library addition.
meh
Fun Galaga-style arcade game. Very similar to the mini-game in "The Lab" by Valve. Challenging and intuitive. Looks decent. Overall well made and recommended!
What a fantastic VR game (so far that I played, unsure how long it is). If you enjoy classic shoot-em-ups, this scratches that itch...in VR! Room scale is great too!
+ gute Idee, gute Umsetzung - nicht kompatibel mit VR-Brillen mit gewinkelten Panels (pimax u.a.)
Très bon jeu, le graphisme est magnifique, on sait quant on commence, pas quant on finis :-)
Perfektní TPSko... pohlcující, těžké a zábavné. Odezva pohybů přilby i ovladače naprosto bezchybná. Hráno na Oculus Rift s touch ovladačem. Doporučuji...
