Steel Assault developer Zenovia has announced NEON INFERNO, a stylish new 2D run-and-gun and gallery-shooter set in a ruined New York City.
NEON INFERNO is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), with a release set for sometime in 2025.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
Three decades from now, New York City is at war with itself. A war with no battlefield: criminal syndicates control four of its five boroughs, fighting each other and the corrupt NYPD in a vicious struggle for supremacy. Into this dystopia steps a fledgling crime family trying to secure their place, striving for power just as everyone else. You are their deadliest weapon.
As an assassin, your missions will take you through every area of this hyper-metropolitan sprawl: from the impoverished battle-torn slums of the Bronx, where the police and the gangs wage vicious war covering entire neighborhoods in flame, to the walled neon gardens of Inner Manhattan, where the upper-class and the lawmakers idle away their time enjoying the fruits of high culture, blissfully shielded from the chaos and the agony of the outside world — for now.
Features
- Shoot close, aim far: A dynamic blend of side-scroller and gallery-shooter, where the action takes place in both foreground and background (like playing Contra and Wild Guns at the same time).
- Glorious 32-bit style: A sci-fi cityscape rendered in beautiful pixel art and backed by an evocative soundtrack.
- Two-player co-op: With danger lurking around every street corner, wouldn’t you be better off with a friend?
