FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER - NEXZR is now translated with English Subtitles! Thanks to the awesome WLTR3565 for the translation work and assistance. You can now enjoy the excellent story and cut scenes and see what you were missing.
Nexzr is a mix of Soldier Blade and IREM's Image Fight with a healthy does of that late 80s and early 90s vibe, especially the music. The art design takes cues from Gundam and the storyline is well done and emotional. It's a complete package of precise gameplay, impressive presentation, and phenomenal music. Nexzr also includes Caravan high score and time attack modes for extra replay value. It's not only a hidden gem on the PC Engine, but one of the Greatest Shoot Em Ups of All Time.
