Neon Spellstorm is an electrifying new action roguelite from TopCog, now open for pre-registration. Blending fast-paced spellcasting with bullet-heaven chaos, it’s a spiritual successor to the studio’s beloved wizard-themed hits like the Tap Wizard series and WizUp—so if you're into magical mayhem, this one’s for you.
Sprint Across a Crumbling Neon Path
In Neon Spellstorm, you play as a wizard dashing across a glowing, ever-crumbling path in a low-tech cyberpunk world brimming with pixel art aesthetics and glitchy visual flair. As the ground vanishes behind you, your only escape is forward—and your only defense is magic. With 28 unique spells at your disposal, including powerful effects like Echo, Havoc, Behemoth, and Aftershock, combat becomes a dynamic dance of strategy and reflexes. Chain spells together for amplified results and unlock wild synergies that evolve with every run.
Build Wild, Unpredictable Setups
Customization runs deep thanks to 74 trinkets that encourage creative—and often chaotic—builds. Since each run randomly delivers spells and trinkets, no two playthroughs are ever the same. Along the way, collect Orbs, Stars, Gems, and Neon to spend at the Neon Core, where you can permanently unlock upgrades and new spell options—progressing even when a run ends.
A Unique Visual Style
Visually, Neon Spellstorm stands out with its 2.5D mixed-media approach—melding hand-crafted 2D sprites with sleek low-poly 3D models for a look that’s both nostalgic and futuristic. It’s a fresh aesthetic that captures the game’s high-energy vibe perfectly.
Deep Customization Before Every Run
Before diving in, choose from six distinct wizard characters and tailor your loadout with spells, fates, archetypes, and sigils that match your preferred playstyle. Once the run begins, how you navigate the map—and respond to its evolving challenges—is entirely up to you.
Pre-Register Now for Android
Pre-registration is live now on the Google Play Store. When the game launches tentatively on August 11th, 2025, players will get a free demo with a single in-app purchase to unlock the full experience. The developers cite inspirations from top-tier titles like Hades, Bastion, Risk of Rain 2, Slay the Spire, and their own Tap Wizard 2—hinting at a polished, deeply replayable experience.
