About Ghostrunner

Ghostrunner poster

Ghostrunner is a hardcore first-person slasher packed with lightning-fast action, set inside a grim cyberpunk megastructure after a world-ending cataclysm. Your goal is to climb Dharma Tower, humanity's last shelter, ascending from its lowest depths all the way to the top to confront the tyrannical Keymaster and claim your revenge. The tower's streets are steeped in violence, ruled by Mara the Keymaster with an iron fist and precious little regard for human life.

As resources dwindle, the strong prey on the weak and chaos threatens to devour what order remains, setting the stage for a decisive last stand before mankind slips into extinction. You play as the most advanced blade fighter ever created, always outnumbered yet never outclassed. Wielding a monomolecular katana, you slice through enemies, dodge bullets with superhuman reflexes and draw on an array of specialized techniques to overcome the odds.

One-hit, one-kill mechanics make combat fast and razor-sharp, and with superior mobility and frequent checkpoints, you are encouraged to throw yourself fearlessly into a relentless dance with death. Beyond its intense action, this indie title delivers a distinctive single-player experience with an original setting that fuses science fiction and post-apocalyptic themes, telling the story of a ruined world and the survivors still fighting on. It is a demanding, stylish showcase for PC players who crave precision combat.
