Critic Reviews for Neon Blood
Managing to get ahead of the most promising titles of cyberpunk pixel art, Neon Blood surprises with outstanding visuals and its dazzling atmosphere, in a game where the only "buts" are limited gameplay and its short duration.

Neon Blood is a truly outstanding graphic adventure whose plot captivates you from the start, constantly inviting you to continue its development while exploring each and every corner that is part of the city of Viridis. Ending all corruption and returning peace to the streets and inhabitants of the city will only be possible if detective Axel McCain, in the company of his allies, overthrows the dangerous powers present. If, in addition to liking graphic adventures, you are passionate about pixel art, you will love this 'Made in Spain' title.

The beauty of an art style in which retro and modern give life to a visually credible dystopian world cannot hide the gameplay lacks under its pixelated guise: despite the short duration, the lack of depth between investigative phases, exploration and combat has time to leave a bitter taste in the mouth.

All in all, Neon Blood is a game that is undoubtedly visually and artistically striking. The combination of its pixel art aesthetics with the 3D of the settings is sublime and even the plot is interesting, but everything develops too quickly, almost as if the previous one is no longer interesting enough. The combats are too simple or simple, and offer no motivation beyond being another formality in pursuit of the story itself, which could have been improved by adding companions or including a certain strategy in them.

Neon Blood opens with some undeniable potential, but it's too short and ultimately feels hollow.
Neon Blood, on its surface, is a stunning pixelated cyberpunk adventure that boasts an intriguing plot. However, players will unfortunately find that when they spend more time with the game it is riddled with clunky traversal, uninspiring combat and the lack of accessibility features. Though Neon Blood looks like it would be an exciting cyberpunk adventure, the issues make it visually gorgeous but not a super fun experience.
Axel McCoin must investigate a corpse plot while trying to remember his past in Neon Blood. Its style, halfway between Pixel Art and 3D rendered environments, offers us a gameplay proposal that reminds us visually of the 90's experiments and, in its structure, of the old Nintendo 8-bit games. An experience that works but leaves us halfway in many aspects.

Neon Blood stands out for its art, featuring incredible environments, great pixel art, and incredible hand-drawn cutscenes. However, the rest of the gameplay and narrative features a disappointing lack of depth, preventing the game from reaching its full potential.
