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.

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

Full Review

Digital Chumps: 8 / 10 by Nathaniel Stevens

NITRO GEN OMEGA from developer DESTINYbit is a unique open-world turn-based experience that offers more than expected. It’s fast, intense, and requires the player to do one helluva fun mech juggling act.

Full Review

Thumb Culture: 4 / 5

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!
