Nitro Gen Omega is a tactical RPG, referred to as "spaghetti anime" (although the whole thing is styled as anime, it was created by European developers). The game was developed by the Italian studio DESTINYbit, which has Dice Legacy in its portfolio.

Gameplay

In Nitro Gen Omega we take control of a group of mercenaries.

Exploration of the skies and devastated surface

The protagonists traverse the post-apocalyptic wastelands aboard their airship. We explore the open world in real time, watching the action from a bird's eye view. The adventure is pushed forward by missions that we undertake during visits to cities and facilities.

However, when the heroes have to descend to the surface, they take control of their mech, occupying specific positions on its deck. Visits to the surface most often end with meeting opponents, with whom we engage in turn-based skirmishes.

Tactical battles

The combat system developed for the game uses a timeline system. The battles themselves are divided into two phases - planning, in which we decide on the next moves of our characters, and resolution, when we set the whole thing in motion.

Use a Potion: 7 / 10

Nitro Gen Omega is a game of wonderful strategic depth hampered by a lack of polish and a rough early progression slog. When the combat clicks and your heavily customised machine is tearing through enemy ranks alongside a crew you have genuinely bonded with, it is an ABSOLUTE joy to play and shows that the game could really be something special. It is just a massive shame that you have to wade through a ton of grinding and clunky menus to get to the good stuff. If you have the patience to learn its intricacies and don’t mind a bit of repetition, there is a remarkably deep and rewarding experience to be found in Nitro Gen Omega… just expect a few bumps in the road that’ll really test your patience.

COGconnected: 68 / 100 by Tisha Kambarami

NITRO GEN OMEGA is a game about you and your Code Lyoko style crew toughing it out at the end of the world. If you enjoy turn-based anime robot action, you might find that fighting for that end is more engaging than it first appears.
