Synopsis

Night Striker is a 3D shoot-em-up rendered with sprite-scale graphics. Players must guide an armored stationary car through a number of scrolling levels - destroying waves of enemies in the process - in an attempt to rescue a scientist who has been kidnapped by a terrorist organization. A large guardian awaits players at the end of each level, each taking several hits to destroy.

Night Striker draws influences from many iconic games in the scaling sprite genre, all of which are Sega releases. The basic shoot-em-up gameplay is similar in style to both 1985's "Space Harrier" and 1987's "Thunder Blade." Some of the game's levels resemble those of 1988's "Galaxy Force II" as well as "Thunder Blade", while the game's level structure - a "pyramid" of levels that allows players to choose their own route through the game using the ending - level branching routes - is borrowed from the 1986 classic, “Out Run.”
