About Elsie

Welcome to the planet Ekis, a bountiful world filled with natural resources and scientific discovery! There is chaos amongst this wonder however, in a world awash with natural disasters. Our story begins with Dr Grey, a talented scientist who engineered a team of high-tech androids with the power to prevent these disasters. These Androids were known as ‘The Guardians’.

The Guardian’s true power lay in the Arclight Core, an energy source that allowed them to bend the elements to their will. The world rejoiced in a new age of peace and safety, but this peace was short-lived as one day, without warning or explanation, the Guardians disappeared.

As winds whipped, and seas surged a newfound threat quickly emerged as an army of robots laid siege to Dr Grey’s home, the city of Neotoño.

Amidst the chaos and threat of more disasters, Dr Grey forged one final android…Elsie. Built like none before her, she must find the Guardians and save planet Ekis.

Take on the role of this female robot powerhouse and blast through hordes of robots to reach the guardians and save the day! Get ready to kick butt and protect the planet you call home!

Features:

• Bullet Hell Ballet – Dash, dive, and shoot your way through stages filled with dynamic enemies, all while performing perfectly timed precision parrying.
• Death is only the beginning – In this roguelike rollercoaster die and die and die again – but you’ll always get back on your feet to embrace the chaos.
• Explore the technicolour Domains of Planet Ekis – Take a tour of Planet Ekis’s vibrant neon-drenched biomes. With procedural generation leading to everchanging levels, each run presents unique challenges and enemies.
• Augmented Action and Character Customization – Make strategic decisions on upgrades, skills, and weapons to drastically alter the dynamic of each run. Experiment with different playstyles for devastating synergies.
• Challenge epic boss battles and conquer biome Guardians – Test your skills against boisterous bots, massive bosses and biome Guardians, memorising patterns to emerge victorious.

Get your hands dirty as a vest wearing fox in this fast-paced spaceship repair simulator

A revolution that will shatter the foundations of society

Madrid, Spain – 7th June 2024. Meridiem has released a new gameplay trailer for Neon Blood, in which the powerful character Ruby Emerald is introduced, and more information is teased about the narrative universe surrounding the game. Additionally, the trailer also reveals the contents of the physical “Limited Edition” release and announces a Q4 2024 launch window for this neo-noir cyberpunk title. This trailer debuted at several digital events during No-E3 2024, including the Best Indie Games Summer Showcase and the Guerrilla Collective Showcase 2024.

Watch the new gameplay trailer for Neon Blood below:

Neon Blood is a neo-noir cyberpunk RPG/Graphic Adventure with a 2.5D aesthetic which combines 2D pixel art sprites with 3D-modeled environments. The game features a variety of puzzles, classic turn-based combat, and precise Quick Time Events. Neon Blood is developed by ChaoticBrain Studios and published by Meridiem.

Meridiem will handle the design and manufacture of the boxed edition of Neon Blood, which will be available in specialist retail stores for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch across Europe in Q4 2024.

The boxed Limited Edition of Neon Blood for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch includes a metallic texture cover, an art book, a printed city guide, and a downloadable soundtrack.

Story Setting

In the year 2053, after World War III, humanity has been reduced to a single macropolis, Viridis, composed of two cities: the luxurious Bright City and the dystopian Blind City.

Axel McCoin, a detective from Blind City, driven by his ideals, rebels against the injustices caused by the social separation between the two cities and the general social inequalities, becoming a symbol of a revolution.

In his adventure, Axel will encounter powerful allies who will aid him in his quest, as well as enemies who will stand in his way, such as Ruby Emerald, who will do everything possible to thwart Axel’s plans.

Features

• Elaborate and Deep Storyline: Neon Blood features a rich and deep story with a cyberpunk theme, guiding the player through Axel’s journey marked by the relationships he forms throughout his adventure, revealing the different realities of the two cities.
• Distinct 2.5D Aesthetic: The game employs 2D pixel art sprites with 3D modeled environments, maintaining a visual distinction between the flat characters and the deep environment. The art style highlights the contrast between the purely cyberpunk Blind City and the more futuristic sci-fi Bright City.
• Investigative Skills: Discover the secrets of Viridis through detective Axel McCoin’s investigative skills in a revolution that will shatter the foundations of society.
