What is Neon Inferno?

A side-scrolling shooter set in dystopian New York, where you work as an assassin for the Family crime syndicate. You fight through missions using gunfire, melee attacks, and bullet-time projectile deflections, with vehicle chases along the way and a multi-phase boss at each mission’s end.

For you if...

+you enjoy practicing for single-credit clears in arcade mode
+you want to play alongside a friend in local co-op

Not for you if...

−you prefer slow-paced action with little need to dodge
−you want a story-heavy adventure rather than combat-focused missions
