Nitro Gen Omega

Nitro Gen Omega delivers a tactical challenge that captures the pure joy of a Saturday morning cartoon, even if its bland narrative and brutal difficulty prevent it from becoming a true classic.

Nitro Gen Omega combines turn-based mech combat and resources management in a postapocalyptic sandbox.

A distinctive work, not always perfectly balanced, but with a personality so strong it's hard to ignore.

Nevertheless, the top tier teambuilding and social systems really help to push players to care for their crew and with that Nitro Gen Omega manages to rise above the little issues that I had with it.

If I had to sum up NITRO GEN OMEGA in one word, that word would be “cool”. Its effortlessly stylish aesthetics and flashy animations took me back to watching shows such as Gurren Lagann or even Megas XLR. Nostalgia aside, though, this is an entertaining and often challenging RPG that doesn’t hold your hand. This is a very rewarding title that, despite a lack of an engaging story, had me hooked for the majority of the time. Some pacing issues aside, I’d highly recommend giving this one a try. There’s even a demo available, so what have you got to lose? For it’s stylish aesthetics, engaging gameplay, and everything else mentioned, NITRO GEN OMEGA receives the Thumb Culture Gold Award!

NITRO GEN OMEGA is a very unusual strategy RPG that will make you think outside of the box while creating emotional relationships with your teammates. If you enjoy mecha anime and complex tactical systems, then this game is absolutely for you, but it is not for everyone, especially if you like easier or quicker-paced RPGs.

Nitro Gen Omega has elements of a deep JRPG whose mechanics are worth taking the time to master.

Nitro Gen Omega is a stylish tactical RPG with a beautiful art design, a slick UI and amazing animations. However, I can see some players being turned away by having to learn the many combat systems it throws at you, even if it’s fun once you get used to it. Overall, I still think this game is worth your time.

Nitro Gen Omega offers novelty with anime cutscenes and high-tempo thrill in between slow strategic turn-based mech battles.

Nitro Gen Omega is an exceptional title in many ways. Immersive, polished, graphically captivating, and embodying the unmistakable style of mech-themed shonen anime. Managing emotions and relationships may seem complicated, but it's much less punishing than it seems. The combat system is deep and tactical, with a solid learning curve that keeps you entertained for quite a while.
