Shoot robots in a cyberpunk world
Cyberpunk Neon Soldier 2077 is set in a cyberpunk world as imagined in the
80s and the early 90s
, creating an immediate retro appeal. The widespread use of neon lighting effects, from the set design to the projectiles, is controlled so as not to make them visually overwhelming. Dimming background elements, still in starkly contrasting neon colors, make the game
easy on the eyes
.
For the gameplay, it gets difficult. There are also instances with
a lot of projectiles
coming at you. However, it’s not a bullet hell game in the traditional sense. Bullets simply travel from top to bottom instead of dispersing in weird, different patterns. Additionally, the enemies become stronger and tougher to beat, which gives players an incentive to try out the various customization options, from
gears to powerups
.
Despite its efforts to be visually amenable to players, the variety of colors and the overall neon aesthetic can still prove
overwhelming to some players
. For the gameplay, there’s no issue with the difficulty scaling. Once the enemies are out of your reach, you can simply
farm previous levels
and get stronger. Aside from the regular ad occurrence, the game is generally fun and enjoyable.
Great for a casual shooter
For a retro-futuristic shooting experience you can play at your own pace, Cyberpunk Neon Soldier 2077 is a good title to check out. It’s visually consistent, and the developers have taken an effort to make all those colors fit into your mobile screen without hurting your eyes, although it might not be enough for some players. Great customization options, robust difficulty scaling, and a consistent aesthetic make the game enjoyable.
