Main features of Nitro Nation for Windows 10
When you run the game on your device, you will be shown the brief tutorial of the game.
Once the tutorial which teaches you the controls of the game is over with, you will be taken into the main menu of the game. Here you will be able to choose if you can start a new game, or use an existing profile.
You can choose a particular car and view its performance etc. right beneath the same. You can also choose to change the paint color of the car by clicking on the paint palette. As you can see above, I went with the embossed silver look for my Subaru RBZ. Now, after clicking on CHOOSE THIS CAR button at the bottom right of the screen, I was taken into the level selection screen.
You can choose which mode you wish to play in the above screen. Once you have chosen the mode that you wish to play and the race desired, you will be taken to the gameplay arena. The gameplay is shown in the screenshot below.
You can see the RPM meter, speedometer, and other gauges showing gear number etc. in the screenshot above. To play the race in the most optimum way possible, you need to click on the Gear circle at the bottom right when the needle in the RPM meter is exactly in the green zone to achieve a perfect gear shift. Shift too early or too late, and the performance of your car will suffer. You can see the mile marker and the time in seconds elapsed at the top right corner of the screen. As you compete against another racer, when you cross the finish line, you will be shown your ranking and game results.
I was using the default player id and hence I was assigned a random player name. I finished first, and hence I was taken into the race rewards screen.
When you click on the Continue button above, you will be able to go ahead back into the level selection screen and play a new race course with a different car. This is a wrap of the main features of Nitro Nation.
