Announcing Nitro Kid Play the Demo Now!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1709050/

Watch the Announcement Trailer

[previewyoutube=Tu09NKNgSxk;full][/previewyoutube] Nitro Kid is a roguelike deckbuilder set in the neon 80s. Build your deck of cyber kung-fu moves, use card combos and fight through the floors of INFINITY tower. Featuring 30+ Synthwave tracks composed exclusively for the game. There are claims that INFINITY is conducting underground experiments with children in its local facility, and you have been hired by an anonymous contractor to investigate them. You play as a lone fighter whose mission is to battle through the megacorp tower and free other Elidas KIDs that have been used as test subjects by INFINITY.

Choose your kung fu style, build your deck, show your moves and fight through the floors of INFINITY megacorp.

Use your deck to fight your enemies smartly and save the KIDs!

Remember: Manage your kung fu decks and health efficiently, and you will most likely succeed, or not; but we definitely hope you do! ;)
