There's still a bit of time to wait before the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion for Cyberpunk 2077, and you want to fill this time with something? Then there's another cyberpunk game that offers a fast pace, intense combat, and a challenge for every player. The hardcore action game Ghostrunner costs $9 in the Epic Games Store until September 22.

Here's What We Know

Ghostrunner is a hardcore first-person slasher in the style of cyberpunk. After a global catastrophe, humanity found its last refuge in the tall Dharma Tower. But over time, the situation in the tower city is getting worse, and the extinction of all living things is close at hand. The situation has to be fixed by Ghostrunner Jack, who has to take revenge on Mara, one of the founders of the tower. The game features the "one hit = one life" mechanic, which works for both enemies and the protagonist. Thanks to this, the gameplay becomes dynamic and intense, and players have to be mobile, because stopping even for 1 second can send you to the checkpoint. You will face different types of enemies with guns, shields, machine guns, drones, and bosses. To defeat them, Jack uses a katana, superhuman reflexes to freeze time, and a variety of skills. For example, you can jump on a drone and use it as a way to move around the location, or use the whip to shorten the distance and deliver an accurate strike.

The discount also applies to the complete edition, which includes one expansion pack and cosmetic kits (price: $24). However, each of these items can be purchased separ ately. And if you are not sure whether this gameplay is right for you, EGS has a demo that will help you get acquainted with the game.
