Sprawl

Sprawl is a hardcore retro FPS set in a dystopian cyberpunk megalopolis. You play as SEVEN, a disgraced special ops super soldier betrayed by her organization. As government forces hunt her and a mysterious voice in her head urges her to survive, she sets out to overthrow the Junta, the military regime ruling the city, escape its walls and uncover the secrets of the SPIRE.

The city and its enemies

Humanity’s advances in cybernetics and artificial intelligence once ushered in a golden age, but that era has collapsed, leaving a broken world. The corporate government’s armies fill the vast streets, while dark alleys and dilapidated apartment surfaces offer routes through the city. On the way to the Spire, you face different troop types with distinct attack patterns: SMG elites fire rapid bursts, while riot guards charge and block your bullets.

Fight and move

Combat calls for quick decisions and careful weapon use. You can slash enemies with a katana, aim for pistol headshots or use the shotgun’s power to jump up and out of range. Swap weapons without slowing down, aim precisely and slow time for headshots. Combat encounters reward creative approaches with ammunition, health boosts and refills for your bullet-time adrenaline meter.

The Icarus cybernetic implant lets SEVEN run along walls with seamless transitions between the ground and walls, opening new options for exploration and combat. Dismembered enemies release excess adrenaline that lets her slow time. You must adapt to different enemy attacks and use your weapons and movement to survive.

World and soundtrack

The retro-futuristic setting draws visual inspiration from classics such as Akira and Ghost in the Shell, and contains deep lore. An original industrial electronic soundtrack uses a dynamic music system that responds to your actions, aligning with kills and movements as you progress.
