Cyberpuke

Strap in for bullet time, a rotating arsenal, and rain-slick neon streets—see how long you can outlast the chrome-plated horde in Cyberpuke.

Cyberpuke drops you into a grimy cyberpunk arena where every corner hides some chrome-plated goon with a grudge. Movement is tight—WASD to strafe, space to hop over low obstacles, and right mouse to bring up your sights. What sold me was the bullet time on T; it's not just a gimmick, it genuinely changes how you pick off enemies when they start rushing in waves. I kept reloading R at the worst possible moments until I learned to use cover and slow-mo to line up headshots. The weapon wheel matters more than it looks. You've got a handful of guns mapped to the scroll wheel, and the difference between a tight SMG burst and a slow heavy shotgun blast is huge. Honestly, the shotgun feels incredible up close—you can almost hear the shell drop after each shot. Don't sleep on the pistol either; it's accurate enough to pop enemies from across the map when bullet time is up. There was one run where I burned my entire shotgun ammo into a group of three enemies, hit T to matrix-dodge their return fire, and swapped to the rifle mid-slide—that kind of fluidity is why I kept coming back. It's not a massive story campaign, but as a quick cyberpunk shooter you can jump into, it scratches the itch. The rain-slick streets, neon signs, and synthwave undertone set the mood without overdoing it. If you enjoy Doom-style pacing but want a little more slow-mo flair, Cyberpuke is worth your lunch break.

WASD - Move. LMB - Shoot. RMB - Aim. Mouse Wheel - Change weapon. R - Reload. T - Bullet time. Space - Jump.

Bind bullet time to an easy reach—T is fine, but if you're on a mouse with side buttons, map it there for instant slow-mo. The shotgun is a beast up close, but its spread makes it useless beyond mid-range. Swap to the rifle when enemies hang back. Reload behind cover, not in the open. The reload animation is longer than you think and enemies will punish you for it. Use bullet time to line up headshots on fast movers. It lasts just long enough for two or three clean kills if you aim well. Jumping doesn't make you invincible, but it can throw off enemy aim. Stutter-step jump when crossing open lanes. Keep an eye on the ammo counter—the wheel doesn't show reserve ammo clearly. Tap R before a fight if you're below half.
