The pixel-style side-scrolling shooter game titled “Nitro Express” is set to release on PC via Steam on the 19th of May, as confirmed by its publisher PLAYISM and developer Grayfax Software. Additionally, you’ll have a chance to play it at PAX East 2025 from the 8th through the 11th of May in Boston, Massachusetts.
Here is an brief overview of the game, via PLAYISM:
About
In simple terms, “Nitro Express” is a lively 2D side-scrolling game featuring adorable pixel-art characters who blast away with all-directional freedom using assault weapons, as they traverse the bustling cityscapes of Japan!
Mysterious T.O.K.Y.O.
Greetings! You’ve arrived at Nitro City, Tokyo Special Administrative Region! The cityscape of Tokyo may seem somewhat unfamiliar, yet it retains a nostalgic charm, or for some, it embodies the allure of a destination you’ve long desired to explore.
Companions / Atypical Vehicles
In simpler terms, people often call autonomous drones “Companions,” but police might refer to them as “Unusual Transportation Devices.
When such vehicles become a serious hazard to the community, it’s then that the Atypical Vehicle Disposal Squad (AVDS), an elite division of Nitro City’s law enforcement, steps in to eliminate all dangerous and deviant vehicles!
Shoot ‘Em Up!
Good news: you can bring as much ammo as you want… and that includes grenades!
Following a brief pause for recovery, the destructive thunderbolt will be back at your disposal again. How delightful! Almost as if by enchantment!
Gadgets and Gizmos
Are you bored with conventional grenades? Why not explore the EMP drones, delivering destructive power, self-firing turrets, flamethrowers, anti-tank missiles, and much more? Among the 12 unique devices, at least one should pique your interest.
Understand Your Guns
Adopting a steady firing stance will help you hit targets with greater precision, causing more impact.
In simpler terms, you can fire short-range weapons like SMGs even as you walk, as they’re designed for such situations, but larger guns require careful positioning and standing still to be used effectively.
Large Armored Targets
Oh no! We’re under attack by tanks and helicopters! Whatever can we do~?!
Against heavily armored targets, rifles and submachine guns may not inflict significant damage. However, if you’re determined to continue using these weapons, go ahead. But for a stronger impact, consider opting for more potent firearms and equipment that can deal a harder blow.
Radio Comms
The story’s dialogues are found within the police radio communications, which you can access whenever you wish, and they’re entirely optional. In other words, you can choose to disregard them entirely if you prefer.
Ideal for repeated gameplay, or for individuals who perceive the narrative segments of video games as similar to the user manuals of an electric toothbrush.
