About the Game

Gameplay

The gameplay of Glitchpunk is a feast for all fans of high-octane action, explosive shootouts and cyberpunk aesthetics. It is top-down action inspired by the classics of the genre, wrapped in a futuristic neon cloak. There’s plenty of guns, melee weapons and vehicles for you to choose from and cause havoc with. Experience frantic action and wild police chases while listening to futuristic beats on your stolen car’s radio.

Run, hack, steal, drive, shoot and blast your way through the criminal underworld of the future. Make some friends, make even more enemies. Kill or be killed, even if it means killing everything you love.

World and Story

But that’s not all: Glitchpunk’s dystopian streets, back alleys and skyscrapers are also stage for themes like transhumanism, xenophobia and religion as well as an all too human story about relationship, self-discovery and betrayal. The sex and drug infused world of the future raises many questions, only one thing seems certain: humanity is a matter of perspective.

You are an android gifted with a special trait called "glitch": It enables you to go against your programming. Set out to destabilize the tyrannical governments of the post-nuclear world, it's up to you to craft your own agenda. Across four unique locations filled with tech-crazed gangs, drugged-up gangs and governed by ever-present megacorporations, take up contracts, earn money and upgrade yourself.

Influence whether or not a gang leader stays on top of the food chain, or let heads roll. There might be something more for you to gain than just money: An ally, or a friend? Maybe even a lover.

This is not a review but more a warning. Right now, the third city/map does not seem to function. For me the game crashes every time when I try to load this map. The other 2 maps work perfectly fine. This also means

GTA2-like that's a bit too overwrought for its own good. Got tedious to play real fast. It doesn't help that your character and the driving feel floaty and unresponsive so the moment to moment gameplay is rendered

Short take on this is to avoid as it is STILL a buggy mess with outright game-breaking bugs with a list of official work arounds posted in the forum. Not a great look that these haven't been addressed in the 18 months

I don't understand why the hate against this game. Its a great GTA2 alternative, but its more than just a skin. The cars are indeed floaty, but that's because they are actually hovering. You can get used to it in 2

I'm very on the fence with this one. I've had it on my wishlist for a long time but seeing the bad reviews I've always postponed it. Now after it came out of early access I've decided to give it a try, and while the
