The game took place in an alien world called Fracture, a former prison planet that was taken over by inmates and turned into a tourism hotspot where crime is legal. The game matches were elections in the form of organized bloodsports in the city center, in which each team represented a mayor candidate.

The gameplay of ''Neon Prime'' was similar to ''Deadlock.'' 6 players on each side would use [[ziplines]] (then called ''hyperlines'') to traverse 4 lanes and fight [[Guardian|guardians]] and [[Walker|walkers]] to destroy an enemy boss called the [[Patron|Titan]]. The players would unlock ''tech'' (abilities) and use coins to buy [[Item|items]], called ''mods.'' In ''Neon Prime,'' the players had 6 item slots for each category instead of 4.

A notable difference is that ''Neon Prime'' had a 3-hit combo melee system, instead of ''Deadlock's'' light and heavy melee.
