Nitro Nation World Tour: A P2E Need for Speed for Mobile

Ever had the need to go fast but you’re away from your computer to play your favorite racing games? Look no further as Nitro Nation World Tour helps you scratch that itch for nitrous-filled action! Let’s look at how well this Play-to-earn racing game performs and if it is worth a glance from our rearview mirrors.

Background

Born from the collaboration between the creators of Blankos Block Party and the Nitro Nation series, Mythical Games and CM Games created an automotive-based title that is Nitro Nation World Tour which combines intense drag racing, NFT car ownership, and social elements all inside a mobile game. They already started with their NFT workshop pre-selling in Q4 2022 and will make the NFT Vehicles available by 2023 with the workshop owners being able to access the exclusive airdrop of Founders edition items and the closed beta version of the game providing incentives for early adopters as we all wait upon its free release on 2023.

Graphics and Gameplay

Similar to most Nitro Nation games, it features fairly realistic graphics that feature cars you can actually see on the road when you’re driving with brands like Mitsubishi, Mazda, Volkswagen, and Pagani to name a few. Although compared to a more recently released Need for Speed or Asphalt title, the graphics are lagging behind but still provide a good view of the other cars as you zoom past them on the road.

Much like other racing games, the main goal is to finish first as you go head to head against other cars with a car you customize and upgrade as you get more racing experience under your belt. Although the game mostly consists of a drag race mode where you don’t steer much, precise gear shifting and acceleration control are your bread and butter if you want to see that checkered flag first more often.

There are different game modes that will be available upon its release in Q1 of 2023. They include:

Campaign - Play through the story mode that features a host of characters, different missions, and challenges where you can unlock cars, component upgrades, and earn in-game currency in this game mode.

PvP Race - A much more direct game mode to compete with other players where you can challenge them in lower-risk Ghost Races or you can go big or go home by staking your own NFT car.

Tournament - If you want your name in lights like the greatest, you can compete in Seasonal Tournaments for both Individual Racers and Social Clubs that cater to every skill level.

Earning Mechanics

There are 2 in-game virtual currencies that Nitro Nation World Tour uses to incentivize the players who play the game in the form of Nitro Coin and Gear Coin which are both tied directly to Mythical Games’ local coin: MYTH.

Nitro coin is a general-purpose unlimited in-game token that can be used to purchase NFT cars, racing tickets, car upgrade components, and other in-game currencies. It can also be used to rent cars and pay for the PVP Duel Fees.

Gear Coin on the other hand is a socially-oriented unlimited in-game tokenized currency used to upgrade, service, repair, and customize cars to their highest levels. It is also the main token used to empower the social aspect of the game like the Social Club as well as payback for the cars players might lose on their PVP Duels.

Both tokens can be earned through the available PVP modes and can be converted to wrapped MYTH tokens for trading.

Final Thoughts

I don’t personally play racing games much and I’m only familiar with the bigger titles and honestly, I still think they all look similar with identical gameplay. The same thing can be said for Nitro Nation World Tour. The only difference in my opinion is it has its play-to-earn mechanics going for it and that it’s available for mobile which is more accessible than console or computer games.

Although the game may be a little bit repetitive, it may prove to be fun especially when you are still building your shifting and steering skills in the beginning. Plus it’s available for Free-to-play players so the P2E aspect may feel enticing.

Overall, If you are looking for a game where you can smoke tires and quickly cover miles, then Nitro Nation World Tour may be worth a look.
