Are the neon-soaked streets and relentless action of CyberCorp worth diving into? This looter shooter from Megame Studio brings a cyberpunk world with a gritty, fast-paced style that feels like a top-down Cyberpunk 2077. Set in Omni City, a place ruled by corporations, CyberCorp offers a violent, immersive experience—complete with a few odd surprises.
What is CyberCorp?
In CyberCorp, you step into the shoes of an agent tasked with gritty missions for the ominous CyberCorp, a company with a stronghold on Omni City. The dark alleys and neon-lit skies bring Cyberpunk 2077 vibes, with a dystopian atmosphere that’s as visually captivating as it is treacherous.
The story centers around your synthetic-bodied agent, who’s decked out in upgradeable tech that makes every mission as intense as it is strategic. Guided by an operator, you’ll go on assignments across the city, encountering everything from merciless gangs to cyber-enhanced foes. Your agent’s sarcastic, laid-back attitude adds a surprising lightness to the heavy cyberpunk environment, making him an oddly charming protagonist.
The Gameplay
Every mission brings a fresh set of challenges. You’re equipped with two guns, a melee weapon, and two main abilities, with the option to unlock a third later. As you navigate Omni City, you’ll shoot and slash through enemies, grabbing loot and credits from scattered crates along the way. Swapping gear is allowed mid-mission, but be warned—the game doesn’t pause, so enemies keep moving while you’re in the menu!
Movement is crucial in CyberCorp. Your character can dash and slide, making mobility key to surviving the game’s intense firefights. As you progress, you can swap in upgraded body parts to boost speed, shields, or health. Just follow the flares on the map for direction, but don’t expect much stealth. Each area is locked down until you clear it of enemies, so if you enjoy pure action, CyberCorp has you covered.
Arena Invaders
Some missions bring you to locked-down areas where you’ll face wave after wave of attackers. And sometimes, just as you clear a room, a warning appears—an Invader is coming. These special enemies are essentially cyber-elite bosses that come with advanced abilities. In my case, I ran into PewDiePie, who sliced through my defenses, only to be followed by an equally aggressive Elon Musk. Defeating these surprise bosses nets you rare, top-tier gear, but be prepared for a tough fight!
Looter Shooter Mechanics
Loot is at the heart of CyberCorp. As a looter shooter, you’ll constantly collect, swap, and upgrade gear, from weapons to synthetic body parts. Each item has different levels, with higher levels offering boosted stats. There are two currencies: credits, used for general purchases, and Cubrium, reserved for advanced upgrades. With the right equipment, even the higher-level missions are within reach, but CyberCorp doesn’t make it cheap to upgrade everything, so choose wisely.
Bugs and Glitches
For the most part, CyberCorp performs well. But I did encounter a few bugs, including getting stuck in walls and some graphical glitches like invisible turrets. The soundtrack occasionally glitched, and one major lag bug crashed my game entirely. Thankfully, the developers are actively releasing patches, and even during this review, a new patch dropped, addressing several issues.
Art Style and Music
If you loved the visuals of Cyberpunk 2077, you’ll find a similar atmosphere here in Omni City. The vibrant colors of the neon-drenched streets pair with a gritty backdrop, and the world-building feels intentional and well-crafted. The game’s soundtrack fits the cyberpunk aesthetic perfectly, with energetic beats that heighten the intensity of each mission.
Final Verdict
CyberCorp nails the cyberpunk vibe, offering a fun, chaotic, and immersive world with great action mechanics. The missions are intense yet short enough for quick play sessions, making it a solid option for handheld devices like the Steam Deck. While some bugs hinder the experience, the devs seem committed to improving it. Overall, if you’re into looter shooters with a cyberpunk flair, CyberCorp is worth a try.
