Well done and fun
Fri Jan 06 2017 jg_hillThis top-down shooter is fun and well made. Gameplay gets harder as you finish each level - the levels repeat with more and tougher enemies each time. I'm a fan of the top-down genre so I'm a bit biased. This game will eat your battery for lunch so be prepared. The game offers a lower battery consumption option with the trade off of a few momentary slowdowns as other apps take control. I've experienced a few glitches such as my player getting stuck in a corner but that was only once. Loot tends to get stuck in beds so wait until they move away to shoot them. My one major complaint is the cut scenes and voice overs get very, very tedious after playing many levels. Please provide a switch to disable them!
Get Xenowerk, Halo, or Space Marshals instead
Sun Mar 05 2017 NBM05Get Xenowerk, Space Marshals, Space Marshals 2, Halo Spartan Assault or Halo Spartan Strike instead. Like Neon Chrome, all five of those games are twin stick shooters, but all five of those games are vasty, vastly better in every way (fun, graphics, controls, setting, gameplay, enemy types, enemy variety, immersion, animations, solidity of combat, weapons, story (for Space Marshals 1 and 2)), presentation, and you can buy any three three of them for less than Neon Chrome costs all by itself. At 99 cents, Xenoworks is 10 times the game and ten times the fun Neon Chrome is, and it's 1/10th the cost. You can get both Halo games together for half the cost Neon Chrome is alone, and both are way, way better (the only thing the Halo games are missing is the ability to level up your character). I've played Xenowerk for hours and plan to play it more (it's a fantastic game that's an absolute steal for what they are charging); I've played Neon Chrome for about 30 minutes and had to force myself to keep playing after the first couple in the hope that it would get better (it didn't).
Xenowerk, both Halo games and both Space Marshal games also support external controllers as well. All five games have great touchscreen controls that felt better to me than Neon Chrome, but all five are even better with an external controller. Neon Chrome should at least support MFI controllers.
Neon Chrome
Tue Jan 24 2017 syntheticvoidWhile I understand not making the iOS build as robust as the Steam version... it still kind of stinks. This is a fantastic game, and would have only been made better by including online modes.
Don't let the fact that there's 'only' 25 levels turn you off... it's 25 levels for each playthrough... once you beat Overseer 1.0, you move on to replaying and beating Overseer 2.0... 3.0... ect... there is always more challenge to be had. The additional battery saving mode, and extra graphics options allows for smooth gameplay across quite a few devices, all the way back to the iPhone 5. So... if you're running iOS 8 or above, and interested in twin-stick roguelikes... you should definitely dig deeper into this one to see if it's something you'd like. I know it'll never get deleted from my device.
A Fun Distraction
Sat Jun 25 2022 JekSnekThis game has everything a simple mobile port needs. Easy controls, addictive gameplay loop, and a clear objective to guide you forward. Everything is randomized so no two runs are ever the same which keeps things fresh for awhile. And there is still enough complexity where you won’t turn your brain off completely since this game is still very challenging and you are guaranteed to die a dozen times before you get the grasp of things. Overall for the price I’d say it’s worth it and it has enough content to please my small brain :) Hope this helps or something I don’t really care, eat a bagel dipped in mustard or whatever.
Best mobile game I've ever played
Fri Feb 17 2017 BingerzeeThis game has every element needed for a game to be entertaining. Not impossible, but difficult enough, an actual storyline, cool weapons, great gameplay and even a great soundtrack. Highly recommend buying this one, well worth the money. Very refreshing change of pace from all the "pay to play" games that have infected the mobile game market. If I had any complaint, and it's not even a complaint really since I figured it out rather quickly, there could be a better tutorial for the controls. Otherwise a five star game. Very well made.
Best five bucks I've spent on an iOS game
Mon Dec 19 2016 logan3-1639It's a simple game: shoot and kill your way up through 25 or so levels until you're able to take out the final boss and replace the "Overseer." Gameplay is smooth and the graphics are great. You use dual-stick controls and the whole experience is dramatically improved if you use a game controller, such as the SteelSeries Nimbus.
After you've finished the first set of levels, the game starts over at a higher level of difficulty. It's addictive and fun.
Fun so far
Mon Apr 24 2017 CrushGravelI have only been playing this for a short time so far... But I am enjoying it. Decent controls with external controller. Wish they could be customized slightly to my liking tho. I enjoy the music, sound effects and graphics. It remains to be seen just how randomized the levels are, but so far I have seen a good variety. It seems the boss levels might be static in design but I'll have to play a lot more to verify that. I suspect it will take me some time to manage a full playthrough and if the levels do indeed show good randomization then it should be a worthy purchase the will bring hours of fun.
FUN addition to the Top Down Military fps genre
Tue May 02 2017 vurnt22I play iOS Halo & Xenowork, & I find this a VERY worthy addition to this growing & effective sub-genre of iOS gaming. I find Neon actually less repetitive than Xenowerk, a game whose graphics & gameplay I ❤️ deeply. The levels are really challenging, & the Bosses are really tough, in a fun challenging way. I'm early in, & I'm really impressed. I'm having as much fun with this as I had with iOS Halo, although with a LOT more neon.
Fun game
Mon Nov 13 2017 Sgt AmazingDon’t listen to anyone but me because I am the only person qualified to objectively review this game and everyone else is wrong!
Seriously, I enjoy this game. Good time waster, catchy music, and nice character customization. Just a little hard to see on an iPhone 8 plus screen.
I reviewed this game based on experiences using a controller, so check out others on controls for touch screen since I don’t use them. I do feel I need to mention the Nimbus controller is correlated to some significant frame rate drops.
Worth Trying BUT...
Wed Jan 25 2017 davidreviewThe game has a nice polish. The settings, the UI, the way when pausing it shows weapon/power/perks.
A big PLUS for me is all the upgrades you can do AND NOT LOSE THEM ONCE YOU DIE.
Some games have you lose not only whatever perks you got BUT also the LEVEL YOU GOT UP TO. All around fun game.
BUT, con for not offering a male character. Not a huge thing since the characters are so small. Once you pick a person all the names are female though. The MAJORITY of the people who purchased this game is male. O well.
