Nelo
Nelo is the lightning fast, out of this world, genre-blending, bullet-hell, character-action epic meticulously crafted by the loving couple at Magic & Mirrors.
Play as Nelo Aukal, an advanced Zenith class alien cyborg of the Tono Gian people, and wield a vast array of weaponry with the trusted telekinetic Hands of Aphelion. Fight your way off the desolate planet Plemniba from the hostile threat of the Nightsithe, a swarm of parasitic machines created by your people.
Master the reflex demanding skills of the powerful intergalactic Zenith Warrior with deep, mind-bending, breakneck gameplay that hybrids mechanics of twinstick shoot em’ ups, gravity defying run and gun, and brutal hack n’ slash melee combat. You will need these skills to survive the hostile world of Plemniba as being behind the enemy lines of the Nightsithe will not be easy even with your advanced alien technology.

Nelo is an amalgam of a bunch of cool and good ideas, but they are loosely connected with tape.
The game combines both melee action combat with third person and twin stick shooting elements.
You have different enemy classes, but their individuality gets lost when everything is shooting at you all at once. It takes away from strategizing which enemy should take priority over the rest and shifts to shooting everything on-screen to thin the herd. Playing on any difficulty than Recruit is a mistake.
Platforming was by far the worst thing experienced in the game. It was too floaty and just felt off.
I also felt stages dragged on longer than should have, with them taking 30 minutes to an hour to complete. The mission objectives also left a lot to be desired. Obtaining orbs scattered across the stages to progress got old quickly.
I can only recommend this to hardcore action game and shmup fans and with the caveat it's bought during a sale.
Played version 0.1.4.1. I'm only giving it a positive rating because a lot of the ideas the game have were novel in 2017 and to an extent still is. And I would hope the developers return to the game in the future.

I liked it. It was a decent game for being so new, but the amount of combat was too much. Now, that may be a preference thing, but it was just so much.
