Apr 12, 2024 9:00 AM

Ghostrunner, the fast-paced cyberpunk action game, is currently available for free on the Epic Games Store. This deal is set to last until April 18th. In Ghostrunner, players navigate a dystopian city environment using parkour and combat skills, where a single hit from an enemy can be fatal. The game emphasizes timing and reflexes, with the ability to slow time to dodge bullets and defeat enemies.

After Ghostrunner, Epic Games Store users can look forward to more free games. Starting April 18th, The Big Con and Town of Salem 2 will be offered for free. The Big Con is an adventure game featuring a humorous road trip across the United States. Town of Salem 2 is a multiplayer strategy game where players are divided into teams and compete for control of a town. While Town of Salem 2 is a free-to-play title, players through the Epic Games Store will receive over 100 euros worth of in-game cosmetic items.

What kind of gameplay can be expected from Ghostrunner?

Ghostrunner offers a blend of first-person parkour and action-oriented combat, where players must use precision and fast reactions to navigate through levels and defeat enemies. The game also introduces a unique time-slowing mechanic to enhance the combat experience.

Ghostrunner, developed by One More Level and published by 505 Games and All In! Games, launched in October 2020. It received praise for its slick movement mechanics and challenging gameplay. The game is set in a grim, cyberpunk megastructure called Dharma Tower, where players assume the role of a cyber-warrior capable of one-hit kills, both delivering and receiving them. Due to its hardcore nature, precise controls, and stylized graphics, it has become a favorite among fans of the cyberpunk genre and speedrunners.
