The year 2020 is all about the cyberpunk theme. While the whole gaming world seems to be looking forward to the release of Cyberpunk 2077 in September, where the Witcher makers will pick up the futuristic theme, developers outside the AAA sector have also taken on the setting.
This includes the title Cloudpunk from the Berlin-based indie studio ION LANDS, which saw the light of day in April 2020. Initially, the title was only released for PC, but versions for PS4 and Xbox One as well as for the Switch are also planned for the course of the year. In the adventure you are transported to the dark Nivalis, a huge futuristic metropolis that combines all the clichés of the cyberpunk setting. So the city welcomes you with bright neon signs and colorful billboards that dominate the entire cityscape. The dark basic mood is emphasized by the rainy weather and the night-time, in which the story is set. In the open world, countless hovercars move between the mighty skyscrapers, which with their endlessly appearing height tower over everything. You visit the different areas of the future city both with your own hover car and on foot.
The story revolves around the main character Rania, who works for the eponymous company Cloudpunk. This has specialized in the delivery sector and is not only on the legal side. In everyday life as a package courier, you will complete various deliveries, where you will get to know characters from all social classes of the city and deal with their fates. This gives you insights into the lives of the poor as well as the rich and gradually learns more about the dark machinations in Nivalis.
Cloudpunk manages to create the basis for an authentic cyberpunk feeling with its impressive metropolis. Typical characters like artificial life forms, unscrupulous companies or clever hackers perfectly complement the mood, just as the story about a society that is determined by crime and corruption. This proves that the indie game is much more than just a filler until the release of Cyberpunk 2077 in September.
