- Shooter, Role-playing (RPG), Adventure, Indie
Dust & Neon pits a single mech-enhanced cowboy against an army of robots in this fast-paced, Roguelite Action RPG twin-stick shooter, set in a futuristic Wild West. In a dusty, sun-scorched frontier where the Old West collides with rogue technology, a gunslinger who died with his boots on is dragged back from the grave. His resurrection is the work of a mad scientist, who reanimates the fallen cowboy for a singular purpose: to wage war on the marauding robots that have overrun the lawless wasteland. Armed with an arsenal of pistols, shotguns, and rifles, the undead outlaw rides out from a ramshackle hub of shops and outposts to hunt down the mechanical menace terrorizing the land. Each foray into the neon-lit badlands pits him against swarms of hostile machines and their formidable robotic bosses. Death is no longer the end for this reluctant hero, but every fall comes at a cost, driving him back into the dust again and again to reclaim the frontier one gunfight at a time.
