Our take on Black Ice
The defining detail is the movement system: players can remove basic actions such as sprinting or jumping and replace them with additional guns, making mobility itself part of build customization.
What is Black Ice?
Black Ice is a cyberpunk action RPG built around fast movement, shooting, hacking, and loot.
Players cross a large cyberspace world, raid corporate AI defenses, collect technology, and investigate conspiracies. Movement and combat abilities can be combined, while weapons, perks, and other loadout choices support different play styles. Progression unlocks new weapon types and dozens of perks, with a respec system for changing builds. The game supports solo play, online co-op, and player-versus-player sessions for groups of up to 10. Enemies and loot scale with the group. Players can also modify the game by adding weapons and items. The story focuses on helping people and building communities within a corporate dystopia.
