Game overview

CoreRunner

Imprisoned within the Core, your only hope of escape are your light blades. Strap them on, grab your guns and your katanas, then experience a retrowave prison break. Skate, shoot, and slash your way to freedom under the neon glow of cyberspace, to the tune of a pulsing synthwave soundtrack.

About this game Read the full description

Welcome to the future. Cyberspace is now home to the Core, a network of digital spherical prisons designed to keep those within safely contained. You are a CoreRunner, one of the few who can fight a path to freedom. Skate, slash, and shoot your way to freedom in neon-drenched, high-speed battles across retrowave landscapes.

Defeat the Core security systems and define your own combat style, taking down foes at range with digital gunfire, getting in close and personal with the deadly katanas, or trapping them within your light trail until they crash and dissipate.  Every motion is a weapon. Every second counts.

CARVE YOUR PATH

Carve your path through waves of digital guardians while the environment itself turns against you. Every level pulses with electric intensity, every firefight becomes a test of agility and timing. The Core wants to keep you. Only a CoreRunner can lead the way out.

ESCALATING DANGER

The closer you get to freedom, the more guardians will try to stop you from escaping the Core. Fight turrets, drones, homing missiles, and hostile patrols in ever more intense battles.

PRECISION IN MOTION

Built for mastery. Tight responsive controls keep every movement sharp and fast,  even in the most challenging of arenas. Flow between dodging, aiming, and slashing without missing a beat.

BURN THE NEON, BREAK THE BEAT

Ride the rhythm of the Core. Every arena and gameplay experience is synchronized with the pulsating synthwave beat in your escape from digital captivity.
