Glitchpunk combines the cyberpunk aesthetic and the gameplay of GTA 2
Daedalic Entertainment have announced they are working with indie studio Dark Lord, to bring Glitchpunk to PC later this year, with a demo being made available during the next Steam Games Festival, check out the reveal trailer below.
In Glitchpunk you play as a glitching android going against your own programming and challenging the tyrannical governments and megacorps of the dystopian near-future. Forge your own path in several cities full of drug-crazed gangs, aggressive police, and irresponsible drivers that make each mission and playthrough unpredictable. Steal cars and lead your enemies on a merry chase, fight them with a variety of melee and long-range weapons, and upgrade your own body with tech. But Glitchpunk isn’t just about blowing things up, it also tells a story of transhumanism, xenophobia, and religion. You can influence the world around you, make new friends, face off against more enemies than you can count - and you might even find love.
Here are some of the key parts of the game, that players can look forward to:
Brutal top-down action with a massive arsenal of weapons to choose from
Hacking system allows players to control minds of pedestrians and affect various devices.
Many different ways of locomotion, including trains, tanks, motorbikes, buses, trucks, and obviously tons of cars
