These new retro-themed releases don’t all the time must go so darn laborious, however we adore it once they do.
Take the upcoming Neon Inferno, which is due out on 2nd October for each PS5 and PS4. It kinda reminds us of SNES basic Wild Weapons, together with your character on display screen whilst you gun down larger-than-life unhealthy guys.
Clearly this one is much less Wild West and extra Blade Runner, because the title takes locations in NYC 2055, a metropolis supposedly “past salvation”.
Right here’s the blurb from the sport’s official web site:
“Neon Inferno is a hybrid side-scroller and gallery-shooter the place the motion takes place in each the foreground and the background. As warring factions battle for management of a dystopian New York Metropolis, you enter the fray as an murderer for the Household – a infamous crime syndicate decided to get rid of its rivals and dominate the metropolitan battlefield. Rendered in stunning pixel artwork and backed by an evocative soundtrack, Neon Inferno delivers a trendy, trendy 2D motion expertise with cyberpunk aptitude.”
There’s a cool mechanic within the trailer the place one of many characters parries incoming enemy fireplace, and is ready to re-route the course of it, turning the tables fairly definitively.
We reckon this seems nice, and for those who agree with us, then you’ll be able to order a free poster from the sport’s official web site. You’ll need to cowl delivery prices, however hey, that’s nonetheless fairly beneficiant of the dev, eh?
