Ghostrunner is a challenging, fast-paced fighting game with a puzzle solving element. Played from a first-person perspective, you navigate the world using parkour-like skills, running on walls, sliding through gaps or jumping and swinging over them. Along the way you'll use your ninja fighting skills to takedown any enemies you encounter in both the real world and cyberspace.

Accessibility Notes

The Assist Mode, added after launch as a free update, offers a slightly easier experience that avoids the normal one-hit-death challenge. Assist Mode provides your character armour to deflect a number of hits before you die.
