Description

Ghostrunner for PC is a hardcore slasher video game, featuring exciting cyberpunk action with lively parkour moves set in a techno dystopia where everyone must have factional loyalty to survive. Poverty and violence abound, and players are the heroes who use all means at their disposal to fight the uncaring authorities, both in their real world and in cyberworld with judicious hacks and careful sabotage.

What’s the Story?


When the game begins, calamity has already struck and residents (survivors might be a more appropriate term!) are in a carefully balanced battle against the authorities who seek to hoard and control the meagre resources that remain, without caring what happens to the people who are then deprived of said resources.

The basic premise of the game is that you need play through – using your impressive parkour skills and weapons training – humanity’s last city. It is massive, grimy, but striking in its neon-packed urban grittiness, and offers plenty of surfaces, holds, and escape-ways for the cunning traceur or traceuse (that means someone who does parkour).

Your ultimate aim to climb the Dharma Tower, and battle the current Keymaster, Mara, who is a terrible tyrant who is trying to cling to power at all costs. Of course, he has surrounded himself with the best defences available, and you must battle hard to progress. But do not fear, you are super-trained as the game goes on, with your level of training increasing with the difficulty of the villains you will be facing.

You are also not alone in your endeavours. Zoe – a brand new ally – and ‘the Architect’ are your helpers and team mates, giving you advice and missions to complete as you slash and hack your way into the heart of the tower.

Game Mechanics


Gameplay is fluid and fast moving, and if your character stops they will be caught, so it is best to keep on moving through the city, finding ways at speed from one city block to another.

Kills only take one hit, so there is no slow and painstaking blow after blow to try and bring down just one enemy, you can hit five or six in a row and see a very primitively satisfying body count – racking up a decent toll of villainous bodies is fine, right? They are the bad guys…

Weapons-wise, you have your muscles with an impressive level of athleticism, the force and your katana. Your speed too in a weapon in a way – it is certainly a defence as slowing down allows your enemies to catch up with you, something highly undesirable!

Fun Facts: Game vs IRL


  • Monomolecular Blades: Your blade is monomolecular which means that it has been so thoroughly sharpened that it is a molecule wide on the sharp edge. This, it is said, means that the blade cuts at the molecular level, slicing between molecules instead of smashing into the material – something that would be that steel could be as easily sliced as paper. Near monomolecular blades exist currently, in glass and obsidian, more and more used in surgery, for making clean cuts that do not even need anaesthetic. They are as narrow as 3 nanometres at the sharp edge, while the biggest known molecule (admittedly a man-made one) is 10 nanometres across…

  • Bullet Dodge: You can dodge bullets in the game. Sadly, this skill is not a real life one: if you were far away enough to have time to react, you wouldn’t see the bullet coming, and if you were close enough to see it, it would have hit you before your eyes could track the movement! But you can, if observant and intuitive, react before the bad guy shoots at you, giving a very creditable impression of dodging a bullet!

  • Deflect Missiles: In the game you can bounce missiles back to their senders. This is actually possible in real life, if you can find something that will return the missile without being distorted itself, and if you can do the maths to work out the perfect angle at which to hold your shield or deflector

    Do you seek a challenge? Come on in. Are you easily frustrated? Don't bother.

    You hop into the action, die within seconds, instantly respawn. Die again, instantly respawn, repeat. And then you learn. Expect to fail an absurd amount of times, until you figure out the most efficient way to remove every obstacle in your way.

    A few aspects that I find worth commenting on:

    Action. It's fast. VERY fast. You will need to slow time constantly, and it won't be enough. In time, you might replace strategy with pure skill and reflex speed, or perhaps not.

    The way out. Just like in Dishonored (you can see the relation), there are multiple ways to solve each scenario.

    The bosses. Only three of them, but souls-level frustrating. (Also, one of them is a rythm game in disguise. Don't bother looking at Hel, the best way to beat her is playing the rythm.) If you are easily frustrated... don't.

    The music. Just fantastic, if you enjoy the type of music.

    The graphics. Very nice.

    The worst part? Platforming levels. Uuuuugh.
    • Fast-paced, no-barrels-hold, unforgiving skill-based action
    • Music matches the mood, movement and action are smooth
    • Fast respawns, usually (sometimes you fall for a whole second)
    • Stressing! (I recommend rests between levels)
    • Boring, predictable story (I hear they improved on II)
    • This game made me hate platforming
    Game is great. It does take bit to get used to the fast paced playstyle of it, but I could just be getting old.

    Dying in one hit is kind of annoying on long runs, but feels very rewarding when you beat something that took ten minutes of concentration to complete.

    8.5/10 on this game, it's pretty solid and is a lot of fun.
    • Great Graphics
    • Smooth Gameplay
    • Good Soundtrack
    • Difficult game, easy to learn controls
    Ghostrunner Review

    Ghostrunner is a fast-paced first-person action game with a focus on parkour and swordplay. Players take on the role of a cybernetically enhanced assassin known as the Ghostrunner, tasked with climbing the Dharma Tower and overthrowing the tyrannical Keymaster.

    The game is notable for its one-hit-one-kill gameplay, which rewards precision and timing. Players must use their mobility skills to navigate the game's challenging levels and eliminate enemies with swift and deadly strikes.

    Ghostrunner is a visually stunning game with a unique cyberpunk aesthetic. The soundtrack is also excellent, with a mix of synthwave and electronic music that perfectly complements the game's fast-paced gameplay.
    • Fast-paced and challenging gameplay
    • Unique cyberpunk aesthetic
    • Excellent soundtrack
    • Can be repetitive at times
    • High difficulty
    • Simple story
    Overall an absolute masterpiece of both gameplay originality and good music/ambience. The developers did a really good job on this one, making this game both a speedrunner’s dream and a fantastic experience for the average gamer. Bitterly underrated in my opinion.
    • God-like cyberpunk soundtrack
    • Original, fast-paced combatant
    • Really fun to play
    • Can be frustrating to lose a consecutive amount of times on a level
    Fast paced and fun. This is a good game if you enjoy the fast-paced action but is not your thing if you just want a slow and chill game to relax to. It is a very good game depending on the person playing it.
