Mechanics

Gameplay in Nighthaw-X3000 for PC is presented from a top-down perspective. The plane we control automatically flies upwards. We have to maneouvre in a way to avoid being shot and at the same time fire back at our opponents. We will face both hordes of standard enemies and powerful bosses whose defeat will require us to use all of our reflexes. We will also have to approach those battles in a more tactical manner and have enough firepower. Due to the fact that Nighthaw-X3000 has a rather high difficulty level, swapping between the weapons is required to achieve victory.

Game Modes

Nighthaw-X3000 for PC can be played alone or by two players on split-screen. Coop includes the campaign and a whole range of other game modes.

Technical Aspects

Nighthaw-X3000 for PC has characteristic, 2D pixelart visuals. The game is overall colourful which, combinded with the synthwave soundtrack, brings to mind science fiction movies from the 1980’s.
