'Gripper' Is An Akira-Esque Boss Rush Game Coming To PC In Early 2023 - Screens & Trailer

Gripper is a story-driven action game where you grip, rip, and tear your way past giant arachnids and mechanized titans.

Tear your enemies apart with a grappling hook. Rip out their metal hearts to gain abilities. Rescue your family and uncover the secrets of the collapsing world.

Gripper plays out in a dystopian world plagued with mystery and loss. Players take the role of None, a cyber bike riding, grapple hook-wielding hero on a mission to find and save his loved ones. Progressing through the post-apocalyptic landscapes will see None have to make vital narrative choices, navigate torturous terrain and face off against some ferocious foes.

Gripper’s combat is built off an RPG-like system, giving players full customization on approaching each encounter with different abilities and play styles. Boss fights are the very heart of Gripper’s gameplay. Whether riding wheel-to-wheel with a murderous monster truck or a screen-shattering snake, players are in full control of how each fight plays out with the ability to grapple enemies, explosive barrels, or other dangerous treats littered on the battlefield.

The goal of every boss fight; slay your foe and rip out their heart. Every enemy's heart will provide None with a memory of a loved one and a new ability to equip the cyber bike. Players can build their dream cyber bike killing machine by increasing the power of the grapple hook, mounting a rail gun on the back, or deploying enemy-seeking drones.


Key Features

  • Boss fights on wheels. Ride, slide, and dodge to master Gripper’s unique movement and combat mechanics. Crush enemies, rip out their weapons, and use them against them. Build the perfect bike, from energy boosters to spawnable drones, mines, and gadgets.
  • Grip and Rip. Control the battlefield with the bike’s hook. Use it to grip the environment, grab and throw explosives or even rip enemies apart. Gripper challenges players to find unique ways to slay each boss.
  • Cinematic story-driven action. None’s story is one of mystery and loss. Traverse the dystopian cyber landscapes in search of answers to your past. Help None make vital choices. Every answer uncovered is another loved one put at risk, so go forth and save None’s family.
  • Progression and customization. Kill. Upgrade. Repeat. Each grueling encounter will reward players with a new special ability, lethal gadgets, and sometimes rare skins. Players can customize the Gripper experience to play and look how they want.

Gripper will launch for PC (Steam) in early 2023 for $19.99.
