Neon Spellstorm is an upcoming action game from TopCog with pre-registration now live. A roguelite bullet heaven, it revolves around the same theme as TopCog’s other major games. Wizards. The studio’s previous lineup includes the Tap Wizard series and WizUp.
Sprint across a neon path
In the game, you sprint across a neon path that crumbles behind you while you’re blasting spells in every direction. You play as a wizard in a low-tech cyberpunk world filled with pixel art and glitchy vibes.
The game has 28 spells that you get to mess around with. You’ll be juggling effects like echo, havoc, behemoth, and aftershock. You can chain multiple spells together to get stronger effects. You also have 74 trinkets that let you build some unhinged setups.
You’re never sure what trinkets or spells you’ll end up with. And that keeps every run fun and exciting. As you run, you’ll also collect Orbs, Stars, Gems, and Neon. You can use these at the Neon Core to unlock new upgrades and spells.
Neon Spellstorm uses 2.5D mixed media and is more like a mash-up of 2D sprites and low-poly 3D models. It definitely has a unique hybrid look. Catch a glimpse of it right here.
The game lets you customise your wizard before each run. You get to choose from six different characters. You can also select spells, fates, archetypes, and sigils to match your strategy ideas. Once you’re out there, you decide how you want to tackle the map as well.
Pre-Registration for Neon Spellstorm Is Now Open on Android
You can pre-register for the game on the Google Play Store. Once out, it will let you play the demo for free and a single in-app purchase to unlock the full game. The tentative launch date on mobile is August 11th, 2025.
The devs have mentioned how the game’s styles and gameplay have been inspired by multiple hit titles. There’s a bit of Hades, Bastion, Risk of Rain 2, Slay the Spire, and TopCog’s own Tap Wizard 2. I hope the game turns out to be as promising as it looks now.
