About This Game

Pure Retro Arcade Insanity

Manga heart. Synthwave soul. Arcade fury.

Neon Breaker: Endless Arcade delivers the fast, fun, bright spectacle and score-chasing obsession of classic arcade side scrolling shmup cabinets soulfully recreated in modern 3d with the action turned up to eleven.

Cell shaded and manga anime inspired from the famous 80s mecha era, Neon Breaker is an unapologetic nostalgia action tribute to both retro anime and shmup genres in distilled form.

The story is simple enough: a mysterious musical signal started appearing in the galaxy, awakening with it an ancient and dangerous but cute robot Hollow Fleet, so with quirky ace pilots Lumi and Turbo Corgi you go out to silence it again and cut the chorus.

Rapid destruction. Relentless pressure.

Evade incoming fire, tear through escalating fleets, merge power-ups and chain destruction into massive score multipliers. Fight across 100+ of distinct waves, take on and destroy thousands of enemies while dismantling 20+ major unique anime inspired bosses.

Play solo or share the insanity in 2-player co-op, locally or online.
Replay your recorded runs and share them online on leaderboards with your top scores.

Go Fast or Get Hunted

Every wave is a race against the clock.

Destroy enemies without taking damage to build an 8× kill combo.
Clear the wave quickly to bank up to a 2× multiplier for the next attack.

Take too long and the surviving enemies break formation, become more aggressive and start hunting you.

Blow up enemies to drop more power ups and chain them for even more destruction.

Push deeper, destroy faster and fight for your place on the competitive online leaderboards.

Classic mode is your predictable wave to wave action, while Anomaly is your roguelike 50+ deck cards game that shuffles match rules on each run depending on your luck and choices.

Bring a Wingman

Neon Breaker supports 2-player shared-screen and online co-op, including cross-platform multiplayer, with private/public lobbies and Steam Remote Play Together.

Invite a friend, team up with another arcade pilot or just add an AI-controlled wingman.

Multiple Weapons, Endless Firepower

Switch between three weapons each designed for different combat situations:

• Bolt: balanced, punchy, rapid and dependable.

• Lancet: long-range fire that pierces multiple enemies.

• Pulse: take down heavy units quickly up close and personal.

Firing one weapon charges the next. Keep cycling between them to unleash powerful Overcharge bursts for extra damage constantly.
You can also boost evade when things get tricky and drop screen clearing mega bombs.

Stack and Merge Power-Ups

Collect, combine and extend 13+ power-ups to turn your ship into the ultimate cleaving weapon. Duplicate pickup types extend their duration, while different pickup types chain well together.

Build ridiculous combinations from power-ups including:

• Rapid Fire dramatically increases your firing speed.

• Spread Shot turns your attacks into wider triple-shot patterns.

• Twin Satellites deploy two armed support drones beside your ship.

• Gravity Mines leave behind traps that pull enemies toward them.

• Prism Rounds split into additional projectiles on impact.

• Pocket Barrage continuously launches tiny homing missiles.

• Salvage Magnet drags nearby drops toward your ship.

• Invulnerability lets you charge directly through danger.

• Ultra Bomb upgrades a Mega Bomb to double damage.

• Flipshot Drive turns your normal evade boost into a deadly net.

Bosses That Actually Fight Differently

A new major boss herald attacks every fifth wave at the end of its biome chapter.

Every encounter requires you to learn and implement different new tactics to overcome the bosses in challenging multistaged fights.

Bosses can change weapons between phases, detach elements, summon new escort wings, repair themselves or manufacture new environmental obstacles around you to protect their cores.

Defeating a boss triggers a short frantic free loot interlude as you race around the arena grabbing evading scattered score bonus pickups before time runs out.

The Fleet Fights Dirty

The Hollow Fleet contains 22+ regular enemy types supported by six key battlefield control minibosses that actively change how the battle works.

Cut through thousands of enemies during individual waves creating a storm of physics-driven debris around and behind you.

Choose Your Pilot and Ship

Fly the Neon Breaker with Lumi, a durable all-rounder equipped with extra weapons to satisfy Lumi’s trigger happy personality.

Or pilot the Dropzoner, a fast and furious interceptor to match the Turbo Corgi’s need for speed and blowing things up with extra mega bombs.

Both ships are built for aggressive play, emergency escapes and high-score runs but each is tweaked for a different playstyle.

Five Living Worlds

Fight across five procedural dynamic neon worlds: Grid, Tide, Corona, Babylon and Vortex.

Each world has its own dynamic environments that dance and transform in response to the music being played, optional escape speed routes, and that will attack you with its special biome charged super powers so watch out!

A Kickass Jukebox

The awesome 22-track synthwave soundtrack comes with its own fully featured Jukebox.

Customize what you want to hear or bring your own soundtrack on windows and mac.

Unlock the Game Gallery

The Gallery is a fully interactive 3D collection to explore, research tips and unlock.

Browse a multitude of weapons, pickups, enemies and bosses, in addition to an illustrated collection of 50+ Anomaly and Apex boss cards. You can also track all 60 achievement awards and explore archives for all of the five playable worlds.
