A racing game with a timelimit and shootingaction catapults you right to the 80s. The control is ez except dodging the cars and projectiles on the street. Its far away from being an ez game which can be frustrating even at the first level.
For 4 Euro u get what the trailer promises you. Absolutely worth it if u like racinggames, shootingames and retro

Great value, the game's a ton of fun. Reminds me of the old Spy Hunter series.
Fast paced with a ton of character. Maybe a bad voice line or two, but the rest
are actually pretty cool. Looks like the devs are actually still active too!
Some new content was added literally seconds ago.
Surprised it hasnt gotten more love.

Just tested #nightjackal!
I really like it! :)
The atmosphere is great, some lovely mix between Death Rally, Duke Nukem and Chase HQ!
But caution, it's hard... The advertizing says true on that matter! ;)

In more ways than one, simply a cruder version of RoadBlasters.

Only played it for a little bit but so far so good - aside from one of the funnier openings you're going to see, this is a fun driver/shooter with great retro graphics. Things blow up nicely! My only request would be Steam controller support.

This game is really well done! Super retro graphics with a hilarious opening, fun and addictive game play, and the best one-liners you've ever heard from a pissed off super hero from the 80's. This is one of those games you'll probably keep coming back to over and over. Difficulty is high but rewarding when you get the hang of it!

It's more like a good prototype than an actual game. The driving is decent and I like the mood (even if that fake 80s shit is starting to get tired) but it's lacking something that would make you want to play it more than an afternooon

A fun arcade game. It kind of reminds me of the old Spy Hunter arcade game which was my favourite arcade game back in the late eighties. The retro and fuzzy retro graphics are fun, however, remember to go into options and change video mode to see what screen looks best on your system, as initially I could barely even read the text. Once I had it at the highest setting it was ready for my system.

Game is a great mash up between a few classic arcade racer (Spyhunter, Outrun, Roadblasters etc.) with a great soundtrack to back it up. Not a lot of time in yet at all but I can tell I'll be playing more.
Some things I'd love to see are
- Better PC graphics customization options
- Better Controller support
- Wheel Support would be nice
