    Neon Inferno delivers exactly what it promises: fast-paced action, stylish visuals, and gameplay that blends intense gunfights with strategic moments, thanks to its shift between perspectives and projectile deflections. The bosses are memorable, the variety of situations keeps the pace engaging, and the cyberpunk setting adds the final touch. However, it remains a short and simple experience, more notable for its stylish intensity than depth. Like a modern arcade session, it offers an hour of frantic fun. While not particularly memorable, it’s a game that justifies the time spent—quick, straightforward, and full of personality.

    Neon Inferno could have been a pleasant discovery in a 90s arcade booth. Its standout feature, allowing players to shoot both on the 2D plane and into the background, gives the game a much-needed sense of personality, elevating a bit an otherwise fairly ordinary (though certainly decent) run-’n’-gun experience.
