Jydge is a twin-stick shooter video game played from a tilted top-down perspective. Set in the dystopic, cyberpunk city of Edenbyrg, players take control of the "JYDGE"—a law enforcer who is tasked with eliminating enemies and rescuing hostages across twenty different levels. The game features destructible environments that enable players to breach a room by shooting down a wall. Between levels, players can upgrade and customise JYDGE using credits obtained whilst playing through a level. New upgrades are unlocked by earning medals from completing specific objectives and tasks during a level. The game can be played alone or in a two-player cooperative gameplay mode.

Jydge was developed by 10tons. The game is a prequel and spin-off to 10tons' previous game Neon Chrome and was developed using the same game engine as the aforementioned title. The game was announced in May 2017. The game reuses art assets from Neon Chrome, however the developers opted to create preset levels rather than use procedural generation as in Neon Chrome. 10tons also reduced the speed of projectiles fired by enemies to make fights more manageable. Jydge was released for PlayStation 4 on 3 October 2017, for Linux, macOS and Windows on 4 October, for Xbox One on 6 October, and for Nintendo Switch on 19 October. It was later released for PlayStation 5 on 19 November 2020 with cross-buy support for the PlayStation platform.
