Neon Inferno Blazes onto Nintendo Switch: Retroware and Zenovia Interactive Launch New Pixel-Art Shooter

Retroware and Zenovia Interactive have officially launched Neon Inferno on the Nintendo Switch, expanding the console’s library of standout indie shooters.

Released via the Nintendo eShop, Neon Inferno pairs classic 2D run-and-gun mechanics with a gallery-shooter twist, delivering a dynamic pixel-art experience set amidst a violent, neon-lit vision of a dystopian New York City. Neon Inferno sets itself apart by merging side-scrolling action with engaging background and foreground combat.

Players step into the role of either Angelo Morano or Mariana Vitti, elite assassins working for the notorious Family crime syndicate.

As rival factions battle for control of the city, players must blast, deflect, and slice their way through hostile forces, with the game’s evocative retro soundtrack and pixel-perfect visuals driving the action forward. Retroware and Zenovia Interactive emphasize the game’s unique split-level combat, allowing users to attack enemies across both visual planes.

Deflecting projectiles through a tactical “Bullet Time” mechanic and commandeering vehicles for high-speed chase sequences add strategic depth rarely seen in the genre.

Additionally, Neon Inferno offers a variety of upgrades and weapon options, empowering players to shape their approach to each mission. An accessible challenge for newcomers and veterans alike, the title features multiple difficulty settings and the intense 1-credit-clear Arcade Mode for those seeking a nostalgic, high-stakes challenge.

Cooperative gameplay is available, letting two players join forces and unleash chaos on the battlefield together, doubling both the firepower and the fun. Every level culminates in a boss encounter, with each adversary designed with unique attack patterns and multi-phase battles that demand quick reflexes and tactical thinking.

The developers’ commitment to varied and challenging encounters ensures high replay value and a rewarding gameplay loop for shooter fans. Neon Inferno is now available as a digital download on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

For those seeking a compelling fusion of run-and-gun action and arcade shooter flair—delivered with modern polish and unmistakable style—Neon Inferno stands ready to ignite the imaginations of Switch owners worldwide.
