NEUROXUS is now available on Steam.

You pilot a weaponized combat mech reactivated long after humanity’s extinction. Your directive is fixed: locate and eliminate Nexis, the rogue AI that took control of Earth’s systems.

The game is a tightly scoped, single-player action experience featuring:

• 16 handcrafted missions

• Fast, tactical third-person mech combat

• Boss encounters that unlock new armaments

• Distinct weapons and utility systems

• A cold, mechanical sci-fi tone

Watch the launch trailer below to see the gameplay and combat systems in action.

Thank you to everyone who supported the project before launch.

The new NEUROXUS gameplay trailer is now live on the Steam page.

This trailer focuses on what defines the game:

• Third-person mech combat

• Energy-driven, tactical engagements

• Boss encounters and unlocked armaments

• Industrial environments and the cold, mechanical tone of the world

NEUROXUS is a solo-developed, single-player sci-fi action shooter built around deliberate combat and system mastery rather than spectacle or live-service progression.

If you’ve been following the project — or are discovering it for the first time — this trailer is the best representation of the game ahead of release.

This major update introduces a set of core system refinements aimed at improving combat feel, control precision, and visual clarity across NEUROXUS.

Gameplay Improvements

Targeting system refinements Improved target selection, consistency, and responsiveness to better support fast-paced combat and multi-enemy encounters.

Movement adjustments Tuned movement behavior to feel more responsive and controlled during combat and traversal.

Jetmode sword lunge Added a directional sword lunge when using Jetmode, enabling more reliable melee engagement and easier hit confirmation in aerial combat.

Combo meter system Introduced a combo meter that builds through successful sword hits, increasing:

• Damage output

• Attack speed

• Shield generation This system rewards sustained, aggressive melee play without altering core controls.

Upgrade variations per run Added new variations to the upgrades obtained through the ranking system, increasing build diversity and replay value across runs.

Enemy projectile behavior improvements Adjusted enemy bullet behavior to reduce visual and gameplay chaos during high-intensity encounters, improving readability and combat clarity.

These changes are refinements, not redesigns, and are intended to preserve existing muscle memory while improving moment-to-moment gameplay.

UI & Presentation

Extensive UI panel updates Multiple in-game panels have been redesigned for improved readability, consistency, and visual polish.

Improved clarity and feedback Cleaner layouts and clearer information presentation across systems.

This update continues the focus on tightening core mechanics and presentation as development progresses. As always, feedback is welcome and helps guide further refinements.

The latest NEUROXUS trailer is now live.

This trailer includes: – Updated materials and post-processing – Reworked arena flow in multiple missions – Improved enemy FX and projectile clarity – Updated mech movement tuning – Revised boss behavior patterns

It reflects the current visual and gameplay state of the project ahead of release. Thanks to everyone testing the demo.
