Ghostrunner: Fast-Paced Cyberpunk Action Game

Experience the thrill of a cyberpunk dystopian world as you run, parkour, and sword fight your way through enemies with your katana-equipped cyborg assassin

What is Ghostrunner?

Ghostrunner is a challenging first-person action game developed by One More Level and published by 505 Games. It takes place in a cyberpunk dystopian setting and casts players in the role of a cyborg assassin known as a Ghostrunner.

Armed with a monomolecular katana and a variety of offensive and defensive cybernetic abilities, Ghostrunners must run, jump, and climb their way through the tower Dharma while fighting enemies that occupy it. Gameplay involves fast-paced action and reliance on player reflexes and skill to progress.

The setting is a post-apocalyptic world where a cataclysmic event plunges humanity into disarray and forces survivors to live in a megastructure known as The Tower. Tensions escalate over the years between classes and eventually result in open conflict.

Players must traverse environments by wall running, jumping, sliding and using grappling hooks while also engaging in combat. Levels are designed with multiple pathways and encourage replayability. Death comes swiftly though; any single hit will result in immediate death, forcing players to memorize layouts and enemy patterns.

The game features a stylish and slick cyberpunk aesthetic along with pulsing electronic music that complements the fast action. The difficulty is quite high but overcoming challenges through skill and persistence gives the game appeal for fans of tough, technical action games.
