Welcome to my blind/first-impressions Let's Play of Neon Inferno (PC), a 2D run and gun shooter / gallery shooter hybrid, developed by Zenovia Interactive and published by Retroware. This was fully released on PC on Nov 19, 2025.
For full disclosure, I received a key from the developers, in order to LP this title.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: "NEON INFERNO is a hybrid side-scroller and gallery-shooter where the action takes place in both the foreground and the background. As warring factions battle for control of a dystopian New York City, you enter the fray as an assassin for the Family -- a notorious crime syndicate determined to eliminate its rivals and dominate the metropolitan battlefield. Rendered in beautiful pixel art and backed by an evocative soundtrack, Neon Inferno delivers a stylish, modern 2D action experience with cyberpunk flair.
Take control of Angelo Morano or Mariana Vitti and battle through the streets, blasting, deflecting, and slicing your way through your enemies! With multiple upgrades and weapon options to choose from, you'll be well-equipped to shift this city-wide conflict in your favor."
In this episode, I finish the tutorial, eliminate Tatsuya Oda, and provide backup for Vector Volta.
