Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, boys and… okay, no boys, just full-grown thrill-seekers — to today’s broadcast of “What the Heck Did I Just Sign Up For?!” I’m your host, Sophi, bringing you the scoop on a game known simply as Kiborg. Now, if you’re here for cozy farming sims or gentle puzzle games, you might want to change the article. But if the thought of surviving in a violent intergalactic reality show — set inside the worst prison in the galaxy — gets your adrenaline pumping, let's play!
First off, the gameplay. Kiborg isn’t your average run-and-gun. This is a rogue-lite action experience where every attempt counts and every mistake hurts. The combat is fast, tactical, and absolutely relentless. Think melee beatdowns combined with ranged chaos, all while swapping between cybernetic abilities that make you feel like a one-person demolition crew. But here’s the kicker — no two runs feel the same. Enemies adapt, and environments push you to improvise.
Now let’s talk vibes. The setting leans into gritty cyberpunk fused with dystopian spectacle. Imagine if Gladiator and Blade Runner had a very violent baby, then gave it a microphone and told it to smile for the camera. That’s Kiborg.
And then, there’s the team behind it — Sobaka Studio. These folks aren’t strangers to brutal action. They cut their teeth on Redeemer, which already proved they know how to make combat feel both fluid and satisfying. With Kiborg, they’ve leveled up the formula.
Feeling defeated? No worries! You'll have the ability to refine your runs with an extensive skill tree:
- Kiborg’s skill tree is all about molding your fighter into a weapon that matches your playstyle. Every run gives you resources you can pump into permanent upgrades, so failure doesn’t feel like wasted time — it feels like progress.
- You start small, but soon branches open that let you decide whether to lean into brute strength, speed and mobility, or survivability. For example, one path might give your melee strikes extra punch, while another reduces cooldowns on cybernetic abilities. Want to dodge faster, recover health quicker, or dish out elemental damage? The tree makes those paths possible.
- What keeps it interesting is how the upgrades interact with your loadout. Unlocking certain perks means you’ll be tempted to chase gear that complements those bonuses. Maybe you’ve spec’d into ranged efficiency — suddenly, guns and energy weapons become your bread and butter. Or maybe you’ve gone heavy into stamina and armor — now you’re a juggernaut that dares enemies to get close.
- The best part is that you’re not locked into one idea forever. Experimentation is encouraged, and each investment nudges you toward trying new builds and discovering combos you didn’t expect.
So here’s the million-credit question, dear viewers: Do you have what it takes to claw your way out of the galaxy’s toughest prison while the galaxy watches for it's enjoyment? $24.99 gets you a ticket into the arena. Whether you make it out alive? Well, that’s entirely on you to try... try again.
