Meta-Ghost: The Breaking Show

Meta-Ghost: The Breaking Show is a 3D roguelite hack-and-slash action game set in the cyberpunk city of Aeropolis. You play as a Breaker in a live-broadcast competition, fighting intelligent machines with cybernetic enhancements and weapons supplied by the organizers. As you win or lose, you uncover secrets about “the soul” and the outcome it wants.

The Breaking Show

Each participant has a personal channel and must fight for both survival and the approval of sponsors and viewers. Your performance and combat moves affect their likes and dislikes, which can help or hinder you in the arena. The temporarily closed-off streets may look ordinary, but drainage grates and manhole covers can turn into deadly traps while you fight.

Build your fighting style

Use the modification pod in the participants’ lounge to enhance and alter your cybernetic upgrades and weapons. You can equip them with freely combinable drivers from event organizers and sponsors, giving them special abilities. Relics left behind by eliminated contestants can also help you push forward, carrying their unfulfilled beliefs.

The Breakers in the lounge have distinct fighting styles, from hit-and-run tactics to defensive counterattacks and precise techniques. Intelligent machines designed to replace soldiers, agents and bodyguards also work together flexibly, blocking contestants who try to rise through the competition.

Co-op

Up to three players can team up online in PvE co-op to test their characters’ strength.

Visual style

The game combines glitch art, street art and pop art in a cyber-graffiti visual style.
