Grayfax Software has an illustrious future ahead of them if they can produce more games like this at this quality. Nitro Express is their nascent entry in the interactive entertainment industry, and it’s a real rocking title, if I must say so myself. It hearkens back to the classic 16-bit era of side-scrolling, action-platformers, but mostly focuses on a bullet-hell type experience, where the action is frantic yet focused. The highlight is that the game has a modest five hour runtime (if you include the story missions and the the mission mode levels), and has a pretty cool story to boot.
