What is Neural Cloud?
Neural Cloud is a Chess-Rogue Like RPG Game. You will command units in a board, but different from Chess games where usually characters can’t be controlled, in Neural Cloud you can unleash ultimate ability at the right moment, reposition your characters, use Commander powers to boost a character's energy recharge or teleport them etc. The Rogue Like component of the game is the random map you will have on every stage, and also random buff/debuff you can encounter during the adventure. The game is a Spin Off of the famous Girl Frontline, but despite being a Spin Off the work behind it is great. There’s fully voiced 3D Chibi Characters and Fully Animated Anime Style Ultimate ability. If you like Chess-Rogue Like RPG, Neural Cloud is the game for you!
