Novastorm, also known as Scavenger 4 in Japan, is a rail shooter video game developed and published by Psygnosis for the 3DO and Sega CD in 1994.

The player takes control of the Scavenger 4 squadron, which has a mission to destroy the deadly Scarab-X forces, in the last hope for the human race.

Although only on one disc and the FMV is not full-screen, the video encoding and quality are comparable to the 2-disc PlayStation version.

Scary Larry of GamePro gave the Sega CD version a mixed review, saying that the graphics are impressive despite the low resolution and lack of full color, but that the gameplay is overly easy and lacking in intensity, and that the game can easily be finished in a standard two-day rental.

[11] Electronic Gaming Monthly commented that the FMV is attractive but the gameplay is shallow and unenjoyable.

[3] A reviewer for Next Generation also found it far too similar to Microcosm, and added that "Microcosm was bad enough, but Novastorm doesn't even have the advantage of a knockout intro ..."[4] Reviewing the PlayStation version in GamePro, Air Hendrix shared Scary Larry's conclusion that the game has stunning graphics but crude and dull gameplay, though he found it too difficult rather than too easy.
