That being said it is nothing like Xortex.. it is a different style of game. Nightstar is a scrolling shooter, Xortex is a room scale shooter. That being said this is a fun arcade game that I plan on playing a lot more. As I play more I find my ship getting hit by dimly lit objects that are very difficult to see.. Hopefully in the future this gets updated.I give this a positive review because it is worth a play if you buy a lot of games. I rarely purchase games... If I had the chance to demo this game before buying I would have spent my money on a different game.. Must get if you ever see this on sale. Wicked game. Someone on here was saying that this isn't a roomscale shooter or whatever. it's basically the next step after the lab's xortex. you absolutely can walk in and out of the "stream of combat" and when I thought I was slick and decided i would stand beside and blow everything up as it went by having only to dodge a few projectiles...nope before I knew it I was back right in the middle of it. I honestly can't even tell you if I just walked back in because I was having too much fun. You don't have to watch for thing coming from behind you (so you don't get wrapped up in your cord spinning circles constantly looking for stuff) and it's more like flying through space then blasting stuff in an arena. honestly in my opinion the two biggest flaws of xortex. Can't recommend enough. if you liked xortex. this is actually better enough to be worth the 15 bucks. I'm probably buying my friend a copy for his vive, that will be a first for a non multiplayer game. it's that good.. 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!!. Yep, this is a keeper. Tried the demo, bought the full game after two plays. This is completely different than any other VR game I've played so far, in that it isn't really first person. It's more third person, with one controller being the ship. It moves wherever you move the controller, pretty much instantly. It's really easy to just stand in one spot and just wave the controller around, but this is a room scale game. Walk around to get better angles, or dodge thick packs of things that are coming from one area, etc. Awesome game, lots of replayability.My one complaint would be how long it takes to reset after game over. I want to click through whatever scoring it's showing me and just restart immediately, but it makes me wait ~20 seconds and then brings the menu up to allow a new game.. one of my fav games in VR...just great!!!. the game forces you to play left handed, or right handed using the left controller... very weird. mildly unpleasant on a game that i would otheriwse like. I played this on the Oculus Rift with Touch controllers and it works fine . Other than it has the same issue as the HTC Vive which is you have to use your left hand controller. I have to admit, it adds a level of difficulty which if you're a righty like me , makes aiming not as easy as it should be. You have to make precise movements to shoot objects at a distance, making the slightest adjustment.I played this game for 30 minutes and never got past the first level. That had a lot to do with being right hand dominant, but also this game is challenging. Despite the frustration of being close to 100% several times, I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the challenge. However, it did seem like some run through's success was based on random powerups. Sometimes I quickly got a pair of squadron teammates to help me out, and other times I had none. There's this one ship that one shot kills you. I didn't realize that until like the 10th time I died which one it was. I think I can definitely get past the first level, with some luck. I definitely think this one is a lot better than the Lab. It's quite the deal on sale price of $1.99 USD.Sale Price Rating 7\/10 ... quick game to pickup, fun challenge
