In Neural Shock, you must cleanse the world of horrid and bloodthirsty creatures by utilizing turrets, traps, wits and weapons. Choose from different class choices with unique playstyles and over 20+ different turrets and traps in this unique sci-fi Tower Defense / Action RPG.
Build, Fight, Improve, Obliterate. Create bloody mayhem in this ARPG / Tower Defense hybrid by building turrets and traps in strategic positions and fighting waves after waves of ferocious clones and creations of immoral research. As you gain experience in the battlefield, improve and develop your characters and weapons to get more and more powerful and decimate your enemies.
Combining the classic Tower Defense gameplay, graphic pixel-art violence and elements of character building action RPGs set in a grim, dark world, Neural Shock offers the perfect action-packed slaughterfest experience in a scifi-grindhouse setting.
Four Levels of Upgrades to Traps and Turrets, unlocked at specific Skill Levels
No "mazing" - turrets do not block enemies
Basic turrets shoot in lines, while most advanced turrets have 360-degree auto-aim
Weapon types are Physical, Small Arms, Heavy Weapons and Elemental
41 Missions (+ tutorial), each with their own Mission Challenges & Side Objectives
Six different Mission Modifiers to adjust the Difficulty and Experience Reward
Character Armor and Weapon Rewards for completing Challenges
Dozens of different viable builds to tinker with - low-Tier and high-Tier weapons can be smoothly combined together
Skill Points can be reallocated to experiment with different builds
Challenging but fair Mission and Enemy Design - Become more and more powerful as you learn to know your enemies from head to toe
Pick your favorite class, delve into the monster-filled world and exterminate the horrid creatures to level up and create your optimal build by selecting the best Passive & Active skills for your playstyle. Each Class has their own devastating or crowd-managing Special Ability that can be triggered after stacking enough kills.
As you gain Experience, you gain Levels and Skill Points to allocate in the Character Skill Tree. Gaining a level also rewards you with a Trap & Turret skill point - the Trap & Turret skill points are shared between characters, so it is encouraged to try different characters to stack up your skill points. The skills can be reallocated at any time.
Playable classes in the full release are Sniper and Engineer. The Sniper class is aimed towards players seeking more action and maneuvering, while the Engineer's talent tree serves a more traditional Tower Defense type of gameplay.
Unique tower defense missions in an engaging, dark and futuristic world, complemented with captivating side objectives that require razor-sharp senses and wits to complete in the most optimal ways. Find the deadliest combinations from a fine selection of over 20+ different turrets and traps.
Tens of different ways for each monster to meet their maker, ranging from getting shredded, electrocuted, burnt to a crisp, melted to a pile of goo, and many others, visualized and animated with crunchy pixel art graphics that don't hide any ounce of blood or drop of gore. Let your creativity run wild as you discover new ways to eradicate the murderous cretins that run amok in this vicious world.
