Neon lights flicker, bullets fly, and enemies learn from every mistake you make. Indonesian indie studios SeblaccSoft and YSY Softworks, in partnership with indie.io, have officially announced that Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters will launch on Steam on January 16, 2026, delivering a fast-paced cyberpunk action roguelite set in the ruthless streets of New Rise City.
Blending stylish 2D arcade combat with an innovative adaptive enemy system, Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters challenges players to constantly evolve—or be overwhelmed.
Welcome to New Rise City’s Neon Nightmare
Set in a dystopian metropolis ruled by crime syndicates and corporate enforcers, Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters drops players into a city bleeding neon and corruption. You’ll step into the roles of two elite bounty hunters whose paths are tied to the same dangerous target—but for very different reasons.
- Angel, a determined student driven by revenge
- Lea, a hardened survivor chasing her next lucrative payout
Both are hunting the most feared crime lord in New Rise City, but their intersecting missions form a branching narrative shaped by player choices, combat styles, and loyalty under pressure.
Adaptive Combat System Changes the Rules
The defining feature of Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters is its Adaptive Combat System—a dynamic mechanic that allows enemies to learn and react to how you fight in real time.
Favor ranged weapons? Enemies will close the gap faster.
Rely on melee combos or dodge-heavy tactics? Expect smarter spawns, altered pursuit behavior, and new attack patterns.
Unlike traditional roguelites with predictable encounters, Bail Force delivers a living challenge that responds directly to player habits, forcing tactical flexibility every run.
Fast, Arcade-Inspired Cyberpunk Combat
Combat in Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters draws inspiration from classic 2D arcade action. Expect tight controls, impactful hit-stop, and fast, readable encounters where every dash, slash, and shot matters.
Gameplay blends run-and-gun firefights with close-quarters blade combat, allowing players to chain stylish combos while adapting to enemy counterplay.
Customize Every Run With Add-On Upgrades
To survive New Rise City, players can fine-tune their approach using the Add-On Upgrade System. These modular upgrades offer both passive bonuses and active ability enhancements, letting you:
- Strengthen favored weapons
- Reinvent struggling builds mid-run
- Adapt to increasingly aggressive enemy behavior
The system encourages experimentation, rewarding players who pivot strategies instead of relying on a single playstyle.
Built for Replayability and Story Evolution
As an action roguelite, Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters is designed around replayability. Procedurally generated city hunts remix zones, layouts, enemy compositions, and encounters so no two runs feel the same.
Each hunt also reveals new layers of Angel and Lea’s intertwined story. Multiple endings unfold based on character choice, combat tendencies, and key narrative decisions—creating a rare roguelite experience where story and mechanics evolve together.
A Cyberpunk Roguelite Worth Watching in 2026
With its adaptive enemy AI, branching narrative, and arcade-sharp combat, Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters is shaping up to be a standout indie roguelite heading into 2026. Players can wishlist the game now on Steam and follow SeblaccSoft and YSY Softworks for future updates ahead of launch.
