About the GameGameplay
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.Key Features

Promising But Needs Driving Fixes...
I spent 2 hours diving into Glitchpunk, and overall, it's a good experience. The game looks fantastic, reminiscent of GTA 2 but with significant improvements. However, the driving mechanics need serious attention. Maneuvering feels awkward, often leading to frustrating situations like getting stuck in corners. Despite this, the missions are engaging, packed with action. I plan to revisit the game in the future, hoping the developers will have addressed the driving issues by then...

An impressive GTA 2 clone, outstanding graphics... i missed the good ol 2D grand theft shooter, bring me chills.
Got it on a -90% sale and believe it... the game is just a roler-coaster of good memories... Love the game!

This is a Dystopian-GTA game with a bulletstorm twist - it's more metal than metal gear solid, and more cyberpunk than Cyberpunk 2077.

Well, that took a while, I was positive this game would never be finished. There were no updates or communications for years! But here it is. It has been updated.
Is it good? So far it's ok. Picture the graphics from GTA 2, add to that a bunch of Cyberpunk mechanics like augments and simple hacking. Haven't played much of a last update yet, but I'm giving it a passing grade.
