3 exciting NEW Cyberpunk games are coming out by 2020 which have the potential to gather a strong niche following. All these games seem to want to accomplish different things within this niche genre, so there’s likely something in here for you if you are a fan of Cyberpunk.
First let’s start off with the most story driven title in our list with Gamedec. Which is being created by a Polish team called Anshar Studios, responsible for the Observer Switch port and Telefrag VR amongst other titles and is based on a novel by Marcin Pryzbylek aka Martin Ann. Gamedec is an adaptive cyberpunk RPG, where you play a detective also known as a Gamedec solving crimes inside virtual worlds. This begs the question of what choices you will make in a world where child slavery is a F2P game, or murders over a game-clan dispute is an everyday reality. There’s also a board game based on this universe which offers a more in-depth definition of the world.
Near the end of the XXII century games are called “sensory worlds” and the outsider world is called “realium”. There are thousands of games – virtual spaces, in which people willingly spend time… or their entire life. A shadow looms over this digital utopia in the form of hacker attacks. The only ones able to defend the sensory worlds are Gamedecs: hardboiled private detectives specializing in the mysteries of the virtual worlds.
The novels its based on are written in Polish, and it is a continuing series spanning 8 books thus far, so if you are interested there’s also that way of learning about Gamedec’s world and story. The story structure is so RPG centric that the interactions in the game were played out in pen and paper format by the developers before implementation.
Next, we have Ghostrunner a hack and slash fast paced Cyberpunk game with an emphasis on challenging combat. In Ghostrunner you enter an intense cyberpunk world to ascend humanity’s last remaining shelter, a great tower city. The tower is torn by violence, poverty and chaos, and its your job to conquer your enemies, discover the secrets of the superstructure and your own origin and obtain the power to challenge the Keymaster.
The game takes place in the future, where the remains of humanity live in this tower built by The Architect. This world is now ruled by the Keymaster where your worth and social class depends on the implants you have. You can fight in both the physical world and cyberspace and as you climb higher in the tower you reveal the structure that houses humanity’s last hope.
Ghostrunner focuses on Melee combat, and a one hit kill mechanic, but will be unforgiving when it comes to difficulty which will test your problem-solving abilities as well as your reflexes. Queuing up slow motion is also a big feature of the gameplay and will be necessary to effectively complete harder areas. This difficulty can also scale based on the archetypes of enemies on the screen as well as their numbers.
Next, we have URAGONER, which falls into the free to play turn based adult Cyberpunk RPG genre that mixes corporate management with lewd extracurricular relaxation.
Uragoner takes place in 2069, of course it does, where megacorporations control everyday life. You play as an administrator for Uragon corp, that hires “custodians” which are your companions to carry out combat missions in the field. Your mercenaries can be customized for the streets or for the sheets if you know what I mean, and there is an inventory and management system where you can grow your corporation.
The game will have a character creator, but the dating sim elements is a big focus with your relations with your companions in and out of missions heavily affecting your progress and path. Hooking up with your companions is a big element and you can choose a variety of dialogue choices when it comes initiating bedroom escapades, which also builds repor with your companions.
