Mecha turn-based tactical RPG Nitro Gen Omega releases on PC Steam via Early Access this Spring
DESTINYbit has announced that they will release Nitro Gen Omega via Steam Early Access this Spring. The Italian studio has been working with multiple publishers to promote their upcoming mecha turn-based tactical RPG worldwide, including Beep Japan in the country that serves as its inspiration.
This game will have the player run a mercenary group with a giant robot piloted by four characters, whom they can recruit from all around the game's world. Battles in this game will generally take place in two phases: the Planning Phase where the player makes all the calls, and the Resolution Phase where the actions will take place in a cinematic manner. However, outside of battles, the player will also need to manage the relationship dynamics among their recruited pilots.
You can find the official trailer, screenshots, and fact sheet for Nitro Gen Omega right below. Currently, the game is only slated to appear on PC. A demo version of the title is also available to download and play right now.
Humanity has lost the war against the machines. The world is overrun by them. What is left of the population has retreated to a few cities and outposts constructed atop of giant pillars. The end is coming - slow and inevitable - but for now, life goes on. People still need food, supplies, technology from the old world, or sometimes just something to get them going.
You are the commander of a mercenary crew, surviving by taking on contracts for the cities. Build and tune your Mechs. Recruit pilots and watch them bond aboard the airship: your mobile base. Complete contracts and engage in high-octane cinematic Mech battles featuring a unique Timeline system.
Innovative Timeline Combat
NITRO GEN OMEGA is a turn-based tactical RPG featuring an innovative timeline-based fighting system that blends deep tactical gameplay with the feeling of directing your own anime episode.
Command a crew of four pilots, each responsible for different systems inside your Mech. Order your Driver to dodge, your Gunner to shoot, your Engineer to deploy coolant and your Operator to throw smoke grenades.
Use your equipment and intuition to discover your enemies’ intentions. Plan your actions during the Planning Phase and watch them unfold in a truly cinematic way during the Resolution Phase.
A challenging, high-stakes experience where injuries and even death are real threats to your crew. Managing morale is crucial, as pilots may act on their own in unplanned Dramatic Moments. The pressure of combat might lead them to a Crisis or Breakdown... but it’s in these critical moments that true heroes are made. Watch your pilots surpass their limits and overcome the odds in a fighting system inspired by shonen anime.
