Take on the role of Rick, a masked vigilante who needs to explore the decaying futuristic Neon City in search of items, abilities and companions to defeat the four super-powered gang bosses and free all its turfs from their claws.

Neon City Riders is an action-adventure game created by Mecha Studios and inspired in 80's sci-fi scene. Each turf is composed by different aesthetics, enemies, mechanics, puzzles and side-quests; giving Neon City Riders a multi-ending solid length experience.

Even when the cyberpunk generally is known to have a noir and dark nature, NCR have a very serious plot that lays on a colorful, cartoonish, chibi aesthetics; a catchy and jolly 16-bit based soundtrack; and a light-hearted narrative tone.

This project was successfully funded through Kickstarter in June 2017, and is now available on all platforms.

    NEON CITY RIDERS
    NEON DISTRICT

    A lot of the Neon City's people have been living in fear caused by the super-powered gangs, waiting for someone to beat the bosses and break them free. The word is on the streets, and a lot of the population shares this cause and they even gave it a name: The Neon City Riders.

    Starting as a duo, Rick and Evergray must explore the turfs, fight the gangs, help the people and recruit new members to complete their selfless objective.

    The Selfless Hero: Rick

    The Wacky Mentor: Evergray

    The Neon District is the central part of the city and remains as a sanctuary, where all the gangs can get their supplies from the Neon City Market, and fighting is strictly prohibited.


    THE AUDIOBATS
    THE NORTH

    Making use of their super-human abilites to control electricity and audio waves, this crew has taken the north side of the city. Despite the violence they use to control their turf, their main goal is to preserve and restore the art (specially music) of this decaying city.

    Boss: Grand Master Thunder

    Sub-boss: Sound Wave Dave

    Enemy: Katana


    The north side of the city is composed mainly by an anarchic inferno called The Burning Projects, where some old warehouses are used as hideouts and are interconnected by the streets and the subway system.


    UNDEAD LASER RAVENS
    THE WEST

    Blessed (or cursed) with psychic powers, the ULR is an army of clones committed to research everything about their mighty skills in order to enhance and replicate them for the benefit of humankind and the growth of the mass knowledge.

    Boss: Mother Raven

    Sub-boss: Ghoulface

    Enemy: Ninja


    It is said that the Mori Forest and its chapels hide in their depths a secret energy source on which the ULR's underground lab was built.


    MUTANT SCALE BROTHERHOOD
    THE SOUTH

    Acceptance and respect are the main objectives of this bunch of creatures, victims of the pollution and arrogance of the former society. These mutations granted them with thick skins, venomous fluids and the control of Neon City’s south side along with its sewer system.

    Boss: King Crusher

    Sub-boss: Glitch

    Enemy: Gummer


    The southern island of the district was once an important power plant that supplied the entire city. Now a polluted sewer system known as the Emerald Archipelago is all that remains.


    RUSTY EAGLE WARLORDS
    THE EAST

    After a technological pinnacle, the economy collapsed, ending in an accumulation of robotic pieces. Even when their time at the top was short, they collected enough data to create their own society and seize the east side of the city. Now, they try to survive and find their purpose in "life".

    Boss: Chief Nova

    Sub-boss: MF-357

    Enemy: Berserker


    It was easy for human society to get rid of their garbage by throwing it into the eastern part of the city, now known as the Genesis Junkyard, home of the abandoned android factory and only path to reach the Snowy Ridge.
