There’s nothing wrong with a minimalist approach to storytelling, but the predictability in how Ghostrunner orchestrates its yarn leaves much to be desired. Exposition bits and bobs are dished out continually through radio chatter where you’re given instructions and backstory by The Architect and learn about the city’s inhabitants and the ongoing power-struggle happening in Dharma’s domain. Of course, with you being the only remaining Ghostrunner your task is dispense your bladed brand of justice – and off you go to decapitate the tower’s numerous thugs. You are introduced by an elusive guide, known as The Architect, who informs you of a great event that caused a calamity named The Burst, further informing you of his former partner Mara (additionally known as The Keymaster), responsible for wiping out most of the Ghostrunner units responsible for keeping the peace at Dharma Tower. The setup and story of Ghostrunner is slight and passive You play as a mysterious figure who wakes up in Dharma Tower with no memory of his prior exploits, but carries a sword to slice and dice his foes, though this likely didn’t jog his memory. Does Ghostrunner hold everything together to satisfy those that inspired it or is this one nothing but a Ghostbummer? All of this is wrapped up in a cyberpunk and Matrix-style presentation and world that leaves an indelible impression on those willing to give this indie offering a second glance. On top of these promising ingredients you get a sprinkling of DOOM platforming and the one-more-go appeal of Hotline Miami thanks in part to generous respawn points after a failed run, as well as a one-hit and you’re dead level of challenge and carrying a blatant nod to the 1980’s classic Blade Runner inscribed in the title and formatted as such on the game’s cover. Touted as a blend between Mirror’s Edge and Dishonored, combining the former’s wall-running fluidity and the latter’s sword-slashing antics, Ghostrunner looks like a sumptuous offering.

Otherwise, the next-gen version of Ghostrunner will be available to purchase for $29.99/£24.99/€29.99.On the surface, Ghostrunner is stuffed with inspiration.
