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?

    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.
