“You chose exile in search of penance, in place of revenge.
I seek to give you both - and in return…
I will be set free.” - FATHER
Enter the dystopian world of SPRAWL, a hardcore retro FPS set in an endless cyberpunk megalopolis. Advances in cybernetics and artificial intelligence pushed humanity into a new era, but that golden age has crumbled…leaving behind a broken world.
Play as SEVEN, a disgraced special ops super soldier who finds herself embroiled in conflict with government forces trying to kill her while a mysterious voice in her head pushes her to survive. Betrayed by her organization and on a mission to overthrow the Junta, a military regime that rules the sprawl with an iron fist, SEVEN must escape the walled city and discover what secrets lie at the SPIRE.
The streets of the SPRAWL are vast and the armies of the corporate government seem endless. But the dark alleys and dilapidated apartment surfaces are all compatible with the “Icarus” cybernetic implant, allowing SEVEN to perform gravity-defying wall-running maneuvers and slow down time with excess adrenaline drops from dismembered enemies. With a horde of different troop types and carefully designed weapons, she will be pushed to the limit to survive.
The SPRAWL eventually consumes us all…will you fight your way out?
To escape the desolate, AI-controlled city you’re gonna need to think quickly and master your weapons in a high-speed game of combat chess. Slash with your katana, keep a steady hand for headshots with the pistol, and use the powerhouse shotgun to jump up and out of range. Quickly swap weapons with no slowdown as you finish your enemies with precision aiming and slow down time for headshots.
Get the best of your enemies and defy gravity with a cybernetic implant. Experience a new approach to wallrunning with seamless transitions from the ground to the walls, creating an entirely new dimension for exploration and combat. Solve combat situations creatively to get different rewards: ammo, health boosts, and refills of your bullet time adrenal meter.
Explore a retro-futuristic and dystopian world filled with deep lore and visually inspired by classics like Akira and Ghost in the Shell.
While racing to the Spire, a variety of enemies will present new challenges to overcome. You’ll need to adjust on the fly to different attack patterns. Rapid fire bursts from the SMG elite will keep you on your toes while a riot guard will charge and block your bullets. Think fast and adapt to survive.
Immerse yourself in the environment and sounds of SPRAWL with an original industrial electronic soundtrack. The dynamic music system responds to your actions, lining up with kills and movements as you progress.

Simply amazing
Love child of Half-life a Ghost in the shell (first two atmosphere-wise), Fear, Mirror's edge and modern Doom (gameplay-wise). One of the few games that were able to just put my brain in a constant flow mode for a few hours and let me totaly forget about everything else, like in good old times.

No fluff, all action
Sprawl justifies its relatively short length with immediate access to generous bullet-time powers, a large roster of unique enemies, and a wide variety of fun weapons. No aspect of this game, from platforming to key hunting to gunplay, is so difficult as to be frustrating. The game starts with a bang, and finishes with hundreds of meaty headshots. This game takes the best influences from older shooters (Quake and Doom classics) and newer titles (Mirror's Edge, Titanfall, Doom 2016). My only complaints would be an over-reliance on monster closets, some weapons are a little too slow to fire, and environments look same-y towards the end. But if you're looking for a no-fluff, all action shooter that cuts straight to the punch with no stat-grinding or exposition hallways, Sprawl is your game.

A glorious cyberpunk slaughter
As an appreciator of boomer shooters, slow-mo action and cyberpunk media in general, I’ll admit Sprawl flew under my radar at first – as it seems to have with much of its target audience. Yet, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is. Sprawl wears it inspirations on its sleeve, and borrows from a variety of shooters in both its mechanics and aesthetics. You’ll recognize some Mirror’s Edge here, some Doom 2016 in another place, a bit of Quake there… It all comes together very well. The guns have no alt-fires, iron sights, upgrade options or reload animations, and the movement palette isn’t too fancy: it’s just you, your weaponry, a slow-mo meter, enough speed to run on walls, and a bunch of well-designed combat levels full of verticality and enemies to slaughter. And frankly, it doesn’t need more: it's a game that rewards aggressive and acrobatic gunplay, wants you to learn about your foes' weaknesses, and makes it all extra satisfying and visually pleasing. Even the bosses are good! Overall, there is a beautiful simplicity to Sprawl. Not just to its combat, but also its use of minimalist storytelling and low-fi visuals, which create a vibrant world with a unique mood. It helps that it's well-optimized and that the soundtrack rules. While Sprawl is great fun from start to finish, some of it might have you raise an eyebrow. The campaign gradually morphs from a game were slow-mo and precision are king to a more Serious Sam-esque romp about unleashing immense firepower on hordes of enemies, a switch in gameplay some may find a bit disappointing (I don't though). Also, the three last guns you'll get work in weird ways: for instance, the minigun isn't that powerful and heavily restricts your movement... a strange choice for a game in which lack of mobility tends to be a death sentence. Overall, I’m sad that Sprawl didn’t garner more attention. It's consistently fun and well-built, full of heart and passion, and overall a pretty great boomer shooter. Give it a try!
