Nitro Kid

About

Nitro Kid is a turn-based deckbuilder with tactical board gameplay set in a neon-lit 80s-inspired world. Players navigate a towering skyscraper, using card combos to battle enemies and rescue mutant kids from a sinister corporation. Each floor reshuffles the deck, forcing you to adapt strategies on the fly. The game balances risk and reward as you collect new abilities and gear, with permadeath keeping runs tense and unpredictable. The retro synth soundtrack and pixel-art visuals lean hard into 80s nostalgia without feeling derivative. With over 30 original tracks, the audio becomes a character in itself. Early reviews highlight its addictive loop of failure and progression, though some note the steep learning curve. Released in 2022, it carved a niche among fans of strategic deckbuilders with a distinct style.

Storyline

In a dystopian ’80s Miami, a megacorp, Infinity, has secretly captured mutant kids to turn their powers into products. The goal? Save as many kids as you can and put Infinity out of business.
