Our take on Nelo
The listing presents the game as a blend of several action genres, but gives little information about how encounters are arranged or how play develops beyond fighting across Plemniba. The combat mix is clear; the broader gameplay structure is not.
What is Nelo?
Nelo follows Nelo Aukal, an advanced alien cyborg of the Tono Gian people, as the character fights to leave the desolate planet Plemniba.
The Nightsithe, parasitic machines created by Nelo’s people, pose the central threat. Combat combines twin-stick shooting, gravity-defying run-and-gun movement, and hack-and-slash melee attacks. Nelo also wields a broad range of weapons and the telekinetic Hands of Aphelion. The game presents a science-fiction setting built around encounters with the Nightsithe and requires reflex-based combat skills to survive behind enemy lines. Its structure blends several action formats rather than focusing on a single combat style.
