How it feels

A fast-paced, pixelated arcade shooter with tactical bullet time set in a bleak 1980s cyberpunk city.

What players say

Players are split on Neckbreak: some love its neon-soaked hyper-violence and visual style, while others find it punishing and unfun because you die in one hit but enemies do not, with laser-accurate foes. The developer says it is not a boomer shooter, and comparisons to Hotline Miami are common but disputed.
