  Nitro Kid offers that slice of synth-wave cyberpunk heaven in the form of a turn-based deckbuilding roguelike. It has a solid mechanics and balanced gameplay that proves addicting when you throw the amazing soundtrack into the fray. Although I wish there had been a little more in terms of a storyline — or even just backstory — that’s not a dealbreaker for an otherwise great game.

  Nitro Kid is quick, fun, and varied, a great experience for players who love card-driven titles that focus on close-quarters engagements. Saving kids from an evil corporation never felt better.

  6.0

  Nitro Kid lacks the just-one-more-run qualities of other roguelites, whether it be a range of exciting progressive unlocks or a surprising gameplay curveball. The runs just quickly begin to bleed into one another. Nitro Kid’s foundational systems are definitely smart, but its emergent delights are slim, making it a tough recommendation when there’s so many fantastic, empowering deckbuilders to play.

  5.0

  Nitro Kid has potential, but there’s a key factor missing that keeps it from just popping on the screen. The Codex is hilarious and I want to read more, the boss variety is interesting and the concept isn’t bad at all: I like the animation from rescuing the Nitro Kids and from certain enemy attacks.

  Now moving on to my final verdict I would say that even for those who are not used to these types of games, this is a good starting point and for those who already have a history with deckbuilders , this is another one that is worth taking a look at does not come to reinvent the genre, but some good hours of entertainment are guaranteed.
