It's an absolutely marvellous place, and a joy to wander around even if there aren't all that many ways to interact with it. When you're walking, the trains shunt by, the advertising blimps drift along, and occasionally police hovercars will rush overhead. When you're driving above it the foot traffic goes on. There are lifts and horizontal transport pads staffed by little operator robots (I assume), and they move about whether you're using them or not. Humans and androids alike wander the streets, traffic hums and glows above and below and in the far distance. Their zoomed out perspective, a little uncomfortable at first, puts you at a perfect distance to see the gorgeous city and its multiple, endlessly moving layers, and papers over the cracks of the voxelly graphical style. That's all you'll be doing, and it's a testament to how fantastic the city is that this is enough, however little it sounds on paper. Android characters tend to be more likeable than the humans. You'll park your cab and head off on foot to collect each package, then head back, and fly off to your destination. It's really as simple as driving from A to B for the most part. You'll drive your flying car around the city, taking orders remotely from a man referred to as Control.
Cloudpunk access code driver#
You play as Rania, a young woman who's just arrived in Nivalis, the one megacity in a far, far future, to work as a delivery driver for an illicit organisation called Cloudpunk. Again, that's not to criticise the characters or story. It's because Cloudpunk is such an enjoyable place to visit that the idea of more of it is very tempting. But that's not because I think it's not good enough. If I wanted to be cruel, I'd say it could have been a lot more than it is, too. It could have been a miserably realistic sisyphean chore. It could have been far too lightweight or by-the-numbers. It could have taken itself far too seriously. Publisher: Ion Lands, Maple Whispering Ltd Release: Out nowĬloudpunk could have been a lot of things, many of them disappointing.
