Ghostrunner is an action slasher game from a first-person perspective featuring crazy gameplay elements inspired by parkour. Players take on the role of a cyber ninja, using a combination of abilities and katana close-combat skills to slice through enemies as they work their way up through neon cyberpunk skyscrapers of the future. Players have a wide range of movement abilities, including wall running, sliding, and time manipulation, to eliminate all targets in their path. This results in an extremely agile character that provides players with great enjoyment with every swing of the katana.
