Glitchpunk

Glitchpunk is a top-down action game set in a post-nuclear future. You play as an android with a trait called “glitch,” which lets you go against your programming. Across four locations, you take contracts, earn money and upgrade yourself as you pursue your own agenda against tyrannical governments and the megacorporations that govern the cities.

The world and story

The dystopian streets, back alleys and skyscrapers are home to tech-crazed and drugged-up gangs. The story deals with transhumanism, xenophobia, religion, relationships, self-discovery and betrayal. Your choices can affect whether a gang leader remains in power, and your dealings with gang members may bring you an ally, friend or lover. The story has several endings.

Action and pursuits

You run, hack, steal, drive, shoot and fight your way through the criminal underworld with guns and melee weapons. You can use trains, tanks, motorbikes, buses, trucks and cars, and get into police chases with up to 10 wanted-level escalations.

Cities and gangs

The game has four cities, ranging from the desert remains of the USA to cyberpunk Soviet Russia in a post-nuclear winter. Across them are 12 gangs, each with its own stories, quests and culture.

Radio and visual style

The game combines 2D sprites with a 3D environment. Its in-game radio features music by artists from around the world, as well as news stations and absurd commercials.
