Get ready for a pixel-perfect cyberpunk showdown as Neon Inferno gears up for a 2025 launch.
From Retroware and Zenovia Interactive is a new partnership that will bring Neon Inferno to all platforms in Q3 2025.
This action-packed shooter draws inspiration from classic titles like Contra and Wild Guns, promising a thrilling blend of side-scrolling and gallery shooting action.
A Dystopian New York City Awaits
Set in the war-torn metropolis of New York City in 2055, Neon Inferno plunges players into a gritty cyberpunk world.
Take on the roles of Angelo or Mariana as they fight for a fledgling crime family vying for power against a corrupt NYPD and rival syndicates. The city’s dystopian atmosphere is brought to life with stunning 32-bit pixel art, accompanied by an evocative soundtrack that sets the stage for intense action.
Shoot Close, Aim Far: A Unique Blend of Gameplay
Neon Inferno will look to set itself apart with its dynamic blend of side-scrolling and gallery shooting mechanics. Just like playing Contra and Wild Guns simultaneously, the action unfolds in both the foreground and background, creating a chaotic and engaging battlefield.
Enemies and bosses lurk in both planes, requiring players to be quick on the draw and strategically utilise their surroundings.
And then there is the added layer of tactical depth to the explosive action in the form of the “Bullet Time” mechanic. This ability allows players to deflect certain projectiles back at enemies, regardless of their position in the foreground or background. Mastering this technique will be crucial for survival as you face increasingly challenging waves of enemies.
