Zenovia, the creator behind the acclaimed game Steel Assault, is back with a thrilling new project, NEON INFERNO. This visually striking 2D run-and-gun and gallery-shooter hybrid plunges players into a dystopian New York City teetering on the brink of collapse. Set to enthrall gamers on Windows PC via Steam, NEON INFERNO is slated for release in 2025.
In a grim future just three decades away, New York City is embroiled in an all-out war. This isn’t a war fought on traditional battlefields but a chaotic conflict where criminal syndicates dominate four of the city’s five boroughs. These powerful factions engage in relentless clashes, not just with each other but also against a corrupt NYPD. Amid this turmoil, a young crime family rises, determined to carve out their own empire. As the player, you become their most lethal asset.
Your journey through NEON INFERNO will take you to diverse and perilous locations. From the poverty-stricken, conflict-ravaged slums of the Bronx, where every street is a battleground, to Inner Manhattan’s walled neon gardens, where the elite live in opulence, insulated from the city’s widespread devastation—for now.
Key Features:
– **Shoot Close, Aim Far**: Experience a unique fusion of side-scrolling and gallery-shooting gameplay. Engage in intense action sequences in both the foreground and background, reminiscent of classics like Contra and Wild Guns.
