NEOWIZ and the indie studio WONDER POTION have introduced SANABI, a new action platformer now available on Steam Early Access. Early impressions suggest the game resonates with a broad audience of players who enjoy tight combat and stylish visuals. In Canada and the United States, the buzz centers on its fast pace, precise weapon handling, and a neon-soaked, cyberpunk setting that invites repeated runs and strategic planning.
The game places players in a sprawling cyberpunk city controlled by a ruthless conglomerate. A sudden power outage causes every inhabitant to vanish without a trace, plunging the metropolis into mystery and danger. The story follows a battle-hardened protagonist with a storied military background, who must uncover the truth behind the disappearance and confront the forces at play in this dystopian landscape.
Combat blends brutal melee maneuvers with firearms, creating a versatile arsenal for different combat scenarios. A distinctive cybernetic arm equipped with a chain hook enables rapid traversal, enabling swift sprinting through lanes, leaping between rooftops, and reaching hidden alcoves that hold clues or rewards. This mobility mechanic is central to both puzzle solving and eliciting high-skill action during missions.
Assisting the hero is Marie, a hacker ally who lends her expertise to bypass security, expose enemy weaknesses, and reveal encrypted data. Her skills unlock doors and provide critical information that keeps the momentum moving forward, turning tense encounters into manageable battles and guiding the player toward safe routes through the city’s maze-like layouts.
On Steam, SANABI is priced at 324 rubles with a 10% discount valid until July 7, making the game accessible to players curious about cyberpunk action platformers and tight, precision-based combat. Screenshots from SANABI are available in the media gallery, offering a glimpse of the neon aesthetic, fast movement, and detailed character designs that define the game’s world.
With its blend of kinetic combat, non-linear level design, and a character-driven story, SANABI positions itself as a strong option for fans of hard-hitting action and retro-inspired visuals. The game’s momentum and the interplay between melee, firearms, and traversal promise a satisfying loop for players who crave challenge and mastery in a vivid urban setting.
