To celebrate the success of the Descent Underground kickstarter campaign, and the return of 6DoF gaming to the limelight, we'll be running a NeonXSZ promotion starting tomorrow. Congrats to all the guys at Descendent Studios. It was a close one but you scraped over the line and that's all that matters. I'm sure the whole NeonXSZ community wishes you the best of luck bringing the daddy of 6DoF back to life. Unfortunately we've all got a long wait before we can play Descent Underground. For those itching for some 6DoF action right now you'll be hard pressed to find anything better than NeonXSZ. With dozens of ships, 900+ upgrades, and close to 100 hours of content already there's never been a better time to jump on board. The NeonXSZ promotion is scheduled to begin at 10am on April 12th.

In NeonXSZ, even normal gaming conventions and rules break down. This new world is initially bewildering, cruel and unforgiving. If you expect it to hold your hand through a tutorial and then spoon feed appropriately leveled enemies in your direction then you are in for a harsh awakening. There's nobody to tell you what to do here - nobody to guide you - and the moment you try to fall back on what you've learned while playing other games you will die.
We wanted to bring gamers a totally fresh gaming experience and move far away from traditional game mechanics. To survive, you will need to be smart, stay alert, play safe, and explore this strange new frontier in order to understand and uncover it's depth, mysteries and secrets.
You are a glitch in the system; an anomaly. If you have any hope of escape you will need to blend in and gain power. Eventually, if you have what it takes, you will journey deep into the very heart of the machine and ultimately meet the Gatekeeper. If you can defeat his challenges you might even escape, but we doubt it. Nobody has ever escaped.
What is it like to play?
The core gameplay revolves around zero-gravity, high-speed, spaceship dogfighting. Think jet fighters with the ability to turn on a dime and strafe in all directions. Dig deep enough, and you'll be able to create anything from blisteringly fast fighters to slow, heavy, tank like destroyers and specialize them with hundreds of lootable upgrades.
You might choose to dominate the open-world or progress through dozens of ever more challenging arenas. Either way, it will be a personal journey of experimentation and discovery.
FEATURES:
NeonXSZ features 100+ hours of gameplay and content set within a completely open-world populated with nearly one thousand persistent enemies from four warring factions, each with unique procedurally generated artificial intelligence and skill.
Loot, buy and sell hundreds of upgrades and gadgets and use them to specialize dozens of ships to suit your preferred play-style.
Test your strength in dozens of hand crafted Challenge Arenas with remarkably agile, physics-based, ship controls and combat.
- Highly customizable:
Manually tweak everything from enemy intelligence, skill, and damage through to the look of your ship and even the look of the world around you.
Slow everything down with a game-speed slider that allows players of every skill level to enjoy the game. It's like permanent bullet time for those that need it.
- Real Loot:
Kill a hostile and it will drop parts for every piece of equipment it has installed, not random loot. This means that defeating a higher level enemy guarantees it will drop higher level predictable loot.
If you see it, you can loot it, fly it, and use it.
