Solo developer 嘉米喵 has released a playable demo for Neon Frontline, a deckbuilding combat game described as their first title, built independently over the past several months.

What the demo includes

The demo is not a sampler — it delivers the entirety of Chapter 1, with no cards, relics, or card modifications held back:

  • Complete Chapter 1
  • All cards and all relics
  • All card modifications
  • Full core deckbuilding and combat systems
  • Three battlefields to fight across

The loop, as described, involves building a deck, deploying units, and battling across those three stages.

What the full version adds

The demo is explicitly a subset of a larger planned structure. The full release is intended to expand to:

  • A complete three-chapter run
  • Multiple difficulty levels
  • Multiple squads with distinct playstyles and strategies
  • A complete progression experience

The developer has invited players to report bugs and share thoughts on balance, UI, and gameplay, noting that solo development makes community feedback particularly meaningful at this stage.

For players curious about the game, the demo offers an unusually complete first chapter — a reasonable foundation for judging whether the full release warrants a wishlist.
