Neon Inferno, a mash-up of Konami\u2019s Contra and Natsume\u2019s Wild Guns set against a cyberpunk backdrop, is now available to download on PC <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2957720\/Neon_Inferno\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">via Steam<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-us\/concept\/10016056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">PlayStation 5<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/games\/store\/neon-inferno\/9nn2zs6c8bxc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Xbox Series<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/store\/products\/neon-inferno-switch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Nintendo Switch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTime is never so slow as the hours and the days before a launch,\u201d says Zenovia Interactive co-founder Sri Kankanahalli. \u201cFor almost four years we\u2019ve been building a beautiful ship by hand, piece after piece. Now the ship finally leaves its harbor, and we see how far she can sail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Neon Inferno sees players assume the role of either Angelo or Mariana as they fight for a fledgling crime family striving for power against a corrupt NYPD and other crime syndicates in the war-torn city. The deadly pair of syndicate assassins will need to fight their way through an army of heavily-armed cops, trained killers, and mechanized monstrosities. Thankfully, they have a few tricks up their sleeves, including bullet time, which allows them to deflect certain projectiles back at enemies they choose\u2014regardless of whether they\u2019re in the foreground or background.<\/p>\n<p>Going lone wolf or guns blazing with a partner in the game\u2019s co-op mode, you\u2019ll have access to multiple upgrades to unlock and equip between missions, and various difficulties to master. A dynamic blend of a side-scroller and gallery-shooter, you\u2019ll have action taking place in the foreground and background as you manoeuvre and shoot through enemies. You can also either enjoy a playthrough on an easier mode, or put your skills and resilience to the test with the game\u2019s 1-credit-clear Arcade Mode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Retroware and Zenovia Interactive have a little something for those looking for a little run-and-gun in their life.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":148193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,409,99223,111,139,9626,69,9510,10664,99224,3448,20232,99225],"class_list":["post-148192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-neon-inferno","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nintendo-switch","tag-nz","tag-pc","tag-playstation-5","tag-retroware","tag-steam","tag-xbox-series","tag-zenovia-interactive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
