Neon Assault: The Cyberpunk Shooter We Needed

Neon Assault gameplay screenshot

Overview

Neon Assault arrives at a time when the FPS market feels saturated, yet it manages to carve out its own identity with a bold cyberpunk aesthetic and a genuinely innovative hacking mechanic that changes the way you approach every firefight. Developed by Prism Interactive and published globally, the game has been particularly well received in Australia thanks to dedicated Oceania servers that keep latency impressively low.

Gameplay

The core loop is immediately satisfying. Movement feels fluid and responsive — sliding, wall-running, and vaulting all chain together seamlessly. The hacking system allows players to temporarily disable enemy shields, redirect turrets, or create environmental hazards, adding a layer of tactical depth that elevates gunfights beyond simple aim-and-shoot encounters. Ranked mode is already highly competitive, with a healthy Australian player base ensuring short queue times.

Visuals & Performance

Running on the latest version of the Prism Engine, Neon Assault is a visual showcase. Neon-drenched cityscapes, dynamic lighting, and particle-heavy ability effects all look spectacular. On a mid-range PC, the game runs smoothly at 1440p with high settings. Console performance is equally impressive, targeting a consistent 60fps on base hardware and 120fps on performance mode.

Verdict

Final Verdict
Neon Assault is a must-play for FPS fans. Its innovative hacking system, tight gunplay, and stunning visuals make it one of the best shooters released this year. Minor map balance issues in ranked mode are the only thing keeping it from a perfect score.
