About the game
Neon Echo is a 3D side-scrolling action Roguelite game with an anime and tech-wear style. In a world that has been corrupted by "noise", "electronic music" has become the only means to resist the power of "Strepification". Now, let's follow the beat of electronic music to fight!

What players say
Don't buy it! The dev team got laid off by the publisher, because it wasn't making enough money. The game is abandoned and it will never get out of Early Access. Buying it now gives the horrible publisher money, and you a unfinished product.

I bought this game because I've seen a great potential, the mechanics, art and of course the song was so great. But, recently I realized that the team of this game left by the publisher... If you take a look for the other comments of this game, you'll known what I'm talking about... Really, this game had a lot of content to give, but because a bad decition and the publisher being a little bit greddy... The game...
This is by far one of my favorite games of all time...and it's never going to be completed. Which hurts. I suggest people to still play it though, it's a good game. Lovely music, amazing aesthetics, combat is solid, cute character designs.
