NeoTokyo (video game)

NeoTokyo (stylized as NEOTOKYO°) is a multiplayer tactical first-person shooter total conversion modification of Half-Life 2 in a futuristic cyberpunk setting, created by American developer Studio Radi-8.

The game presents itself in a dystopian setting, with inspiration drawn from Akira, Deus Ex and Ghost in the Shell for its art-style, music and aesthetics.

The gameplay of NeoTokyo is slow-paced and balanced towards the tactical approach, with players generally being able to dispose of each other with a single burst of concentrated fire.

NeoTokyo has two game-types: Team Deathmatch (TDM), and Capture The Ghost (CTG), with the majority of maps designed for the latter.

With the Ghost's exact location visible to everyone at all times, a carrier's position is instantly revealed to the enemy team.

Ghost in the Shell and Akira were cited as main sources of inspiration behind the game's art style and cyberpunk aesthetic.
