After announcing the cyberpunk slasher with a reveal trailer 4 days ago, developer One More Level and publisher All in! Games have finally revealed some gameplay footage for Ghostrunner at Gamescom 2019.
The game looks absolutely amazing. It’s like a dream-come-true combination of Shadow Warrior + Titanfall + Superhot + Dishonored with cyberpunk vibes, to say the least. The game is a fast-paced first-person cyberpunk slasher, adding wall-running and grappling elements from Titanfall with one-hit combat like Superhot, all set in a cyberpunk world. The satisfying fast-paced slaying brings Shadow Warrior to my mind. Some people are even calling it Katana ZERO in 3D because of obvious reasons, which’d be absoutely great, I should add. It also uses Nvidia’s RTX tech for them shiny lil’ reflections. Oh, and by the way did I mention that the game also has amazing synthwave soundtracks?
Watch the official gameplay below:
“Enter an intense cyberpunk world and experience fierce, dynamic combat! Conquer your enemies in the physical world and in cyberspace. Hunt for answers in humanity’s last remaining shelter.
Ascend humanity’s last remaining shelter, a great tower-city. The tower is torn by violence, poverty, and chaos. Conquer your enemies, discover the secrets of the superstructure and your own origin and obtain the power to challenge The Keymaster.
The game takes place in the future, after a global cataclysm where the remains of humanity live in a tower built by The Architect, who died mysteriously years ago. Everyone knows the truth, no one says it aloud.
The world ruled by The Keymaster is harsh. A person’s worth depends on the category of implants they have, defining their whole lives. The implants—given to them in childhood—determine which social group a person belongs to. If you weren’t lucky enough to get a good life, there is nothing you can do. It’s no surprise that a rebellion starts.
You are a cyber-warrior, the only one capable of fighting both in the physical world and in cyberspace. Lost and hunted, thrown into the middle of the conflict, you must use this bond with technology to ascend the tower.”
“As you climb higher, secrets are revealed. The clock starts ticking on a race to uncover the mystery behind the structure that houses humanity’s last hope. Solve the riddle or be killed—there is no other option.”
