Indie developer Mecha Studios has dropped a major patch for its pixelated vigilante adventure Neon City Riders. The “Super-Powered Edition” update, which is live now on PC and is headed to console platforms soon, makes several adjustments to some of NCR‘s more troublesome elements.
First and foremost, Neon City Riders’ overall difficulty setting has been re-evaluated, re-balancing combat and puzzle sections, as well as adding further checkpoints throughout the map. Fans of the title’s original settings can toggle the new “Old-School Mode” option, to keep the difficulty level as it was pre-patch.
Secondly, a new character – Cypher Kid – has been added to the game, and will sell you map sections for a price. Meanwhile, mentor/narrator Evergrey will offer a heads-up on your quest. Both of these new additions hope to remove some of the confusion presented in NCR‘s story, which can leave players stumped as to their next course of action.
