Futuristic adverts, diners with pixelated couples sitting in them, abandoned theatres, and a tower that goes above the polluted world and into the stars are just some of the many highlights of this amazing world.Publisher: Merge Games Developer: ION LANDS Genre: Adventure The city is astounding and the more I drove around it, the more it drew me in every bit is highly imaginative with not a cut and paste job in sight. The voxel effect is made up of pixel-based characters and world creation, but all with its own amazing lighting and architecture. It sort of comes across as if Minecraft made Bladerunner – and that is great in my book. Visually and the development team at ION Lands have designed a wonderful neon-noir city, complete with super special voxel graphics that I found deeply beautiful and iconic. Thankfully, there’s a big draw to keep you interested. It’s all maybe a bit too drawn out, and towards the end I could have done with a change of pace.

There are major choices to make in the tale, choices that decide the course of the story, but that’s about it regarding dialogue choices. It really does consist of driving from one location to a sat-nav point, on to another and listening in to a bunch of dialogue and narrative. But there’s a but, and if you’re not into the story, dialogue or just driving around a city going from point to point, then there is going to be not much for you in this game. Throughout the eight hours or so running time, Cloudpunk is a hugely enjoyable affair.

Alternatively you can make your life a nicer one by sprucing up your apartment, by buying all manner of goods furniture, a TV or even a bonsai tree. You receive money for each job, and then use this cash to spend on your HOVA. But the main purpose of these levels is to go and deliver your package to the location, or pick something up in return. You also can pick up some food or drink if you like, even though they have no gaming value regarding health or hunger needs. Finding objects scattered around the world to sell or collect is another part of the deal. There are objectives focused around finding them items, seeking out people or the delivery of something. On the street, you can meet different characters, like street vendors, drug dealers, and strangers that might have requests for you. Here you can choose to view things either in the third or first person, exploring to your heart’s content. The other part of the Cloudpunk experience consists of you parking your HOVA at your specified destination and then walking about on the street level. Here you repair your vehicle from bangs and scrapes, as well as have the opportunity to purchase upgrades like speed boosts or cosmetic changes, amending the color of the vapor trails coming from your exhaust pipes, for instance. The HOVA needs fueling – which costs money – and that is where the highway gas stations come into play, along with the chance to visit additional garages and mechanics. You get given a sat-nav destination for a job or mission, and it’s up to you how you get there, working through the city in the process. There are loads of different HOVAs around you, all running along a motorway system that is in place to follow failing that you can just fly around anywhere you like. The gameplay consists of you driving your HOVA, which is basically a flying car hovering above and in between the city landscapes. Soon she finds herself taking on more troublesome assignments than she signed up for… and who is the mysterious online presence Cora everyone keeps mentioning? When she is summoned to an old console in an abandoned part of the city, she starts to get some answers. From there, it is off she goes into the night. She is an ex-musician, and on her first night shift for the company she is given missions by an old man – her delivery controller.
