Ghos🌳trunner is made by one of the most intriguing matchups of action developers around - a three-way cooperation between 3D Realms, Slipgate Ironworks (Kingpin, Rise of the Triad), and One More Level (God’s Trigger). Together, these industry veterans and indie upstarts have made an all-slicing, all-sliding sprint through a cyberpunk tower-city, which y🎀ou must ascend using a trusty array of cyberninja weaponry and incredible wallrunning agility.

You don’t need to spend long watching the footage in this video to get an idea of how fun Ghostrunner is to play (momentum-heavy greats like Hotline✨ Miami, Katana Zero and DOOM spring to mind). But its story remains a mystery🍸 - who is the Architect? Why is its spectacular setting, Dharma Tower, overrun by thugs? And what is your role as a Ghostrunner in all this mess?

This guide is here to answer all those questions.

Dharma Tower was humanity’s ultimate refuge - a vertiginous stronghold where millions of people sheltered through a cataclysm known as The Burst, which turned the Earth&💝rsquo;s atmosphere into a toxic wasteland. Against the odds, humanity not only sur﷽vived but thrived in Dharma Tower - a self-contained society with hierarchies and inequalities, but also stability under the guidance of an ingenious AI known as The Architect.
