Neon Inferno

Neon Inferno is a hybrid 2D action shooter combining side-scrolling run-and-gun gameplay with gallery-style targeting across multiple visual planes. Set in a cyberpunk-influenced future New York, the story follows two playable assassins, Angelo Morano and Mariana Vitti, working for a criminal organization known as the Family. Missions focus on eliminating rival factions and pursuing targets across combat-heavy stages populated by enemy soldiers, police units, and criminal syndicates.

Combat blends platforming with free-aim shooting in both the foreground and background. Players can fire directionally, perform evasive maneuvers, deflect projectiles, and use contextual traversal elements such as hanging points and vehicle sequences. A "Bullet Time" mechanic allows precise reflection of incoming attacks. Weapons and character upgrades can be purchased between missions.

Campaign structure consists of linear missions occasionally presented with optional objectives or alternate approaches. Each stage culminates in a boss encounter with different attack patterns and multi-phase behavior. The game supports single-player and cooperative local multiplayer, allowing two characters to progress through missions simultaneously with shared combat space and overlapping enemy waves.

Additional play modes include an arcade-style option focused on continuous challenge and a replay system for revisiting completed missions.
