South African PS5 gamers, get ready for a pixel-art explosion! Neon Inferno, a hardcore 2D shoot-'em-up, is making waves, but is it worth the hype? This cyberpunk adventure throws you into a violent, neon-drenched New York City of 2055, where you play as assassins Angelo or Mariana, taking down targets amidst corrupt cops, Yakuza, and street thugs.
Cyberpunk Chaos Awaits
Neon Inferno starts with a Mega Man-esque contract selection, but quickly dives into a more focused narrative. While the story isn't groundbreaking, it provides a solid reason for your assassins to keep fighting. Expect diverse stages, from highway bike chases to nightclub firefights on rails. The game features about eight missions, each culminating in a challenging boss fight.
Old-School Gunplay with a Modern Twist?
The gunplay pays homage to classic titles like Contra and Metal Slug, offering satisfying action when enemies are directly in front or behind you. However, the game's difficulty has been described as extremely frustrating. Be prepared for a significant challenge!
Neon Inferno might appeal to those seeking a retro-inspired, visually stunning, and intensely difficult shoot-'em-up experience on their PS5. But be warned: this game is not for the faint of heart!
