I’ve been playing NiGHTS for years and I forgot who or what the character is in the game.

Does anybody know about this character?

All I remember is that I was super excited for this game because of the hype and then when I finally got to play it, it was kinda shit.

I hated the original Saturn controllers.

I only ever played the demo, and I really dug it.

Would love to try out the whole game.

Did not hear any hype though

It's in Steam now for like $7.

It played fine on SteamDeck after I searched up which version of Proton to force it to run under, and did some controls mapping.

That said...It's... Just the demo.

Unintuitive boss fight mechanics, a one hit kill and a three life maximum (before the game resets itself!) means: I just kept repeating the demo for the vast majority of my play time.

I could watch a tutorial on the rest of the bosses, but honestly the later levels (that I have reached) are just different paint added to first level.

6/10 - It's surprisingly good for being one of the earliest attempts at a making a 3d game.

If I was going to replay it, I would seach up a boss fight tutorial first, to save myself time. It's just not worth playing through the whole game each time I want 3 more chances to guess each under-communicated boss mechanic.

Actually, you can still get the full Steam game for free at https://www.sega60th.com/register

Not really free if you have to link your account.

[–] TBi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, free if you give us all your game and play history…
