Neotokyo is an absolute PC gaming classic, a (somehow) free mod for Half-Life 2 that remains one of the prettiest and coolest multiplayer shooters on the planet. And now, 12 years after its first release, it has a singleplayer experience for fans to play through.

Multiplayer shooter NeoTokyo, the classic Half-Life 2 mod that you’d be forgiven for thinking disappeared a long time ago, has just been released on Steam following a lengthy Greenlight campaign. Meaning, hopefully, a whole new crowd of people get to experience one of the slickest mods ever made.”]
NEOTOKYO° Kshatriya is a little rusty around the edges, but in essence gives loads of Neotokyo fans exactly what they wanted from the original: the chance to really explore its cyberpunk streets in a more relaxing and immersive way than was possible in multiplayer maps.
While made by different people — this is a product of SerygalaCaffeine, with Neotokyo’s original creators having moved onto work on stuff like (surprise!) Deus Ex and Ghost in the Shell — it retains a lot of the feel of Neotokyo.
