About Neon Tyrant

The Tyrant's fleet has swallowed six sectors. Someone has to fly into the light — better if you don't fly alone.

Neon Tyrant is a vertical scrolling shoot-em-up in the spirit of the classics, rebuilt around one idea: co-op that actually means something.

TOGETHERNESS IS A MECHANIC

•
Bond beams — fly close to a wingmate and your shields regenerate twice as fast, kills score more, and defensive power-ups are shared.
•
Active rescue — when you fall, you're not out. You're a drifting wreck with 15 seconds on the clock, and your partner must fly to you and hold position under fire. The rescue link glows green. Nobody forgets their first save.
•
Quick pings, shared credits, one team — up to 4 pilots, local, LAN or online through Steam.

FLYING ALONE? HIRE A WINGMAN

•
An AI combat drone with its own hull, shield and arsenal — every weapon you can buy, it can carry.
•
Three AI cores: Mk I shoots what's in front of it. Mk II leads targets, dodges and picks its fights. Mk III reads the whole screen — and learns: every hunt teaches it which enemies to respect.
•
It can die. Repairs cost. Take care of your wing.

A RUN THAT'S YOURS

•
9 evolving weapons — every weapon levels 1-5, growing new bullet streams as it matures.
•
20 draftable perks — between sectors, each pilot picks a boon: ricochet rounds, a dead man's switch, a guardian angel. Bosses drop rarer relics. No two runs build alike.
•
4 unlockable ships, secondary weapons, mega bombs, sidekick drones.

SIX BOSSES WITH NAMES AND MANNERS VANGUARD, HYDRA, LANCER, MINEKING, PHANTOM and the TYRANT PRIME — each with its own patterns, phases and telegraphed laser columns that will absolutely catch you talking.
