Take control of Angelo Morano or Mariana Vitti and blast your way through the cyberpunk streets of NYC 2055, where your enemies might appear in both the foreground and the background!

Deflect projectiles back at foes using Bullet Time, slash at enemies with your plasma knife, or dodge out of the way of incoming attacks! The demo contains one stage, with multiple difficulties to choose from, along with a challenging 1-credit-clear Arcade Mode. You'll fight through beautiful pixel-art environments to eliminate your target: Tatsuya Oda, a lieutenant for the Yakuza!

A Team-Up Like No Other!

Retroware and Zenovia Interactive are excited to announce their partnership in Neon Inferno -- a hybrid side-scrolling gallery-shooter set in the dystopian New York City of 2055!

A demo will be available on Monday, February 10 as part of Steam's Couch Co-op Fest!


Take control of either Angelo Morano or Mariana Vitti as you operate as an assassin for The Family: a notorious crime syndicate determined to eliminate its rivals and dominate the metropolitan battlefield, striving for power against a corrupt NYPD and other crime syndicates, carving its own path through this cyberpunk jungle.



[h3]Key Features:[/h3]
  • 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?
  • Satisfying arcade challenge: Enjoy a playthrough on an easier mode… or put your skills and resilience to the test with the 1-credit-clear Arcade Mode!

[h3]Blast, deflect, and slice your way through your enemies across a citywide battlefield.
[/h3]

[h3]Eliminate bosses at the end of every mission -- each one bringing something unique to the fight!
[/h3]

[h3]And never fight alone with local co-op and Steam Remote Play for up to 2 players!
[/h3]

Neon Inferno is half cyberpunk Contra, half gallery shooter




In the year 2055, New York City has become… rather pixelated. It's also a battlefield between factions including the police (who are corrupt), a corporation (who are corrupt), and the Yakuza (who are the Yakuza). As an assassin for an up-and-coming crime family, you're out to take down all the other factions in a city-spanning gunfight...
