VR project NIGHTSTAR is inspired by old classic starship simulators. As a pilot of a space fighter, the player goes into battle with the Coalition of Drones to protect our galaxy from capture. The gameplay is based on the systems of old Shoot’em Up arcade machines. Only now it is clothed in modern graphics and transferred to virtual reality. The visual part is done competently, the enemies are endowed with good AI, are diverse in appearance, and there are many of them.Nightstar offers the player:
- Comfortable controls. Intuitive combat system uses VR equipment and a motion controller. You can play both sitting and standing.
- Development and adaptation. Gradually breaking through hundreds of opponents, the pilot can strengthen his weapons, defense, receive additional attacks.
- Adaptive AI. The confrontation will adapt to the style of play used. Enemies study the hero's movements and change their tactics accordingly.
The game has a very atmospheric soundtrack. Most of the music is made in the synthwave style, popular in the 80s of the last century. The background melody also adapts to the current game situation. The composer of the project was Thiago Adamo. The passage gradually becomes more difficult - not only the starship of the main character becomes stronger, but also the attacking side. The voice acting, which becomes more intense or calm in a timely manner, complements the situation well, maintaining the necessary rhythm of movements.
