Neon Core Arena

Blast the arena apart, steal the vault and outgun the bot squads. Neon Core Arena by @taylrw is a destructible sci-fi arena shooter built from glowing cubes, played solo against bots on one device.

Why you'll play

• Break the arena: blast walls, shatter glass and knock out supports to collapse ceilings and open new sightlines.
• Battle bot squads: fight 3v3v3 Cashout, 5v5 Team Deathmatch and Search & Destroy, or an eight-fighter Gun Game.
• Slide, vault, zipline: sprint, slide, vault, mantle, grab ledges, ride ziplines and launch off jump pads.
• Fight for the cashout: carry the vault to the safe and hold it while rival squads close in. Cashouts appear at ground level, upstairs and on rooftops, and each payout moves the safe.
• Arm your operator: pick a class, a weapon, grenades and gadgets, then unlock six neon exo-suits.

Modes

• Cashout (3v3v3): steal the vault, carry it to a metal safe and hold it while rival squads try to steal it.
• Team Deathmatch (5v5): first squad to 30 eliminations wins.
• Search & Destroy (5v5): one life per round. Plant or defuse at A or B, then switch sides.
• Gun Game (8 combatants): kills with your current weapon advance an eight-weapon ladder. Finish with an Energy Sword kill to win.
