Very cool even for just a demo.
Movement feels satisfying (Sonic mode lmao), and once you manage to do the OHK on the Boss consistently farming points for the presents isn't so bad.
I'll definitaly check out original Nights next year, cause this demo was a great introduction once you figure out the mechanics and the idea of the level by replaying it over and over (or looking it up in a guide).
It's funny how a Christmas demo of a game is what introduced me to the NiGHTS games but I'm glad it did! This is surprisingly fun! It weirdly reminds me of Tony Hawk games in a way. Arcade-y but satisfying tricks and movement.
Wasn't a fan of Sonic mode but I thought it didn't hinder anything.
Also I happened to OHK the boss on my first try!
Can't wait to play other NiGHTS games!
Make sure you're using up most of your remaining timer, it shouldn't be too bad to get an A rank even if you don't end up going for the OHKO on Gillwing.
Mastered for RetroAchievemas. A Christmas themed NiGHTS into Dreams... demo disc. You'll be playing the first level over and over (however, Elliot has his own version of the stage different from Claris'. It's mostly about unlocking all the secrets in the match card game after every run based on the Rank you got. You're slowed down by the "Instant Lose" panels that can take away your remaining picks, which is a bit annoying. Besides the time involved replaying the same stages, mastering this is pretty easy.
I never had a Saturn or played many Sega games, but wow, this one really surprised me. I’d seen it around before and had no idea what it was about, but thanks to this forgiving DEMO, I not only figured it out but ended up loving it. Some of the achievements were pretty tough for me, so here are some tips for others who might be in the same boat:
*Take it slow at first* Don’t stress about scoring perfectly right away. This game is pretty unique, so just focus on learning the characters, boss strategies, and tracks. Grab as many items as you can per lap, but don’t worry about being perfect—time doesn’t give you score except on boss levels.
*Tackle the date achievements early* Since the levels don’t change, these will help you get used to the game and collect all the presents. Remember, there are three sets: Claris, Elliot, and Final presents. The Final ones can be unlocked with either character, but the other two require using the specific character.
*Go for the A rank achievement* It’s easier than it sounds! A-A-B-B scores and a solid boss rush (finishing with at least 60-70 seconds left) should do the trick. You don’t need to be perfect.
*Finish the secondary challenges* Time Attack, Link Attack, and Sonic Mode are all manageable. Check the achievement comments for tips if needed—they were super helpful for me.
*Save the boss OHKO for last* This one gave me some trouble, so take your time and refer to the comments for guidance. I think it is really recommended to have certain experience with the game before trying to get this one.
Big thanks for the set! It was an awesome experience, and I hope everyone have as much fun as I had!
❄️Merry Christmas!❄️
I tried messing around with the save files by backing up my current one and then setting the date differently, but then my Game just won‘t start
It‘s a shame to me that such a charming Game is ruined by technical issues
