Players control a dead cowboy who has been reanimated by a mad scientist and sent out to defeat marauding robots. Dust & Neon is a twin-stick shooter using a Western theme. A hub world provides shops and missions. In combat, players must reload their weapon, which include pistols, shotguns, and rifles. They can find new weapons during missions or buy them at shops. Upon defeating foes, players can find money and cores. Cores are used for base-building, such as upgrading shops so they provide better equipment. Money can be used to buy that equipment or power-ups. Bosses are only accessible once players reach a certain experience level.[1] Upon dying, players lose their money and guns.[2]
