Neon Inferno Brings The Heat in Two Weeks
Philly-based indie publisher and developer Retroware is poised to soothe the itchiest of trigger fingers when Neon Inferno, Zenovia Interactive’s hotly anticipated cyberpunk run-n’-gun, scorches all modern platforms on November 20.
“The final month or so of Neon Inferno's development, before we sent off the first version of the game to the platforms, was spent on polish: adding or refining graphical effects, tweaking the balance of each stage and sub-stage, testing, bug-fixing,” said Sri Kankanahalli, studio founder and creative director at Zenovia Interactive. “We also started to work on the first batch of post-release content, which (in addition to even more polish) will include some standard new modes like boss rush and time attack, plus a couple less conventional features to help flesh out the world of Neon Inferno, which I'll keep under wraps for now.”
Neon Inferno is a stylish cyberpunk run-and-gun shooter inspired by hits like Contra, Metal Slug, and Wild Guns. Going lone wolf or guns blazing with a partner in the game’s co-op mode, players assume the role of either Angelo or Mariana as they fight for a fledgling crime family striving for power against a corrupt NYPD and other crime syndicates in the war-torn city.
The deadly duo will need to fight their way through an army of heavily-armed cops, trained killers, and mechanized monstrosities. Thankfully, they have a few tricks up their sleeves, including bullet time, which allows them to deflect certain projectiles back at enemies they choose—regardless of whether they’re in the foreground or background!
With multiple upgrades available to unlock and equip between missions, various difficulties to master, an Arcade Mode, and two-player co-op, Neon Inferno offers a full clip of content to blast their way through.
