Night Jackal

Night Jackal is an action racing game with a tongue-in-cheek 1980s revenge story. You play as the foul-mouthed superhero Night Jackal, driving the Jackal Mobile on a rampage against the crime syndicate that murdered his wife. Race to checkpoints before time runs out while blasting enemies.

Racing and combat

Choose Arcade style for a progressively harder challenge inspired by 1980s arcade games, or Casual Drive to remove enemies and any punishment for killing civilians. You can also take on the courses in Casual game mode. Enemies have different abilities and weapons, so learning their weaknesses is important to surviving. The game includes custom Night Jackal vehicles, each with its own playing experience.

There are six locations, each with three different versions: bustling cityscapes, eerie wastelands, slippery snow-covered tundras and more. Local and online leaderboards let you track your personal best and compare it with the online community.

Blood Debt content

The Blood Debt Update brings settings and enemies from the boomer-shooter adventure Night Jackal: Blood Debt into the racer. Race through Night Jackal's Manor, a prison yard and Paradoxia's mind-bending world of Tartarus. Robot spiders attack in the scorched scrublands, and Paradoxia also appears as an enemy. The update adds a finish line, which you can cross to end a run, along with original Blood Debt music, including a victory theme, and a Blood Debt-themed vehicle.

Music and characters

The game features original music, including a cheesy 1980s main theme and custom 8-bit tracks during gameplay. Its cast consists of original characters created for the game's universe.

Presentation and options

Night Jackal uses pseudo-3D visuals drawn in 2D vector space and a 4:3 aspect ratio modeled on arcade CRT monitors. You can choose a censored version that removes blood, sexual innuendos and the edgy voice-over. The game also includes naughty language, adult themes and puerile humor.
