What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We choose to release an EA version to continuously gather player feedback from the community and develop the game at the same time. This approach allows for rapid testing of new content acceptance and enables every player to participate in our development process in their own way. We hope this will be a wonderful journey where players and developers come together.

The game's theme is a live broadcast show called "Breaking Show," set in a cyberpunk-era fictional city. It appears as a channel for ordinary people to ascend in social class and a popular entertainment program. However, a huge conspiracy lies behind this competition, involving the organizers, sponsors, and even the contestants controlled by players. Players actively push the narrative forward through skilled gameplay and character development, uncovering the story's truth. We hope to expand more game content based on this large story system with all players' involvement.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that "Meta-Ghost: The Breaking Show" will be in Early Access for approximately 9-12 months. We will adjust our content based on community feedback and complete new content as per our development plan.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes single-player mode with four difficulty levels, team mode with five difficulty levels (heat range 0-12), four characters, several NPCs, various battle scenes (city, construction site, factory, lift), core in-game builds (drives and relics), and external development systems (operating system, weapon modification, prosthetic armament).

The full version will feature more game modes, storylines with endings, difficulty levels, and a broader selection of drives and prosthetics. The development team will continue to explore the game's breadth and depth to meet the expectations of a complete game.

Of course, there's still a way to go before this.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version will include two modes: Offline Mode and Online Mode. Both modes offer a complete single-player story experience, and Online Mode allows for team-ups. The single-player story has four difficulty levels (Qualifiers, Preliminary, Eliminations, Qualifying), each offering different storylines and boss challenges. For online co-op, we have set five difficulty levels. You can increase the difficulty of games by continuously teaming up and accumulating popularity points. The game's mechanics will be more diverse, with each of the five drive brands having 18 sub-drives, and the number of relics has been increased to 112. We also offer four playable characters, each with distinct personalities and combat styles. You can use the resources gathered from each battle to develop each character, upgrade their weapons, or replace their cybernetic implants, helping your protagonists win the competition faster!”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The current pricing is based on the content of the Early Access version. Upon the release of the full version, the game will have significantly expanded and improved in content, length, and gameplay experience, leading to a slight increase in price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We have already closely interacted and communicated with players during previous playtests, demos, and prologue versions. The scale and magnitude of feedback after the EA launch will be even larger, and we will continue to maintain frequent communication with the community. Players can provide feedback on game balance, core mechanics, and player experience through surveys, feedback forms, verbal expression, etc. When new content is released, we will immediately observe community feedback, as their gameplay experience is a primary standard for determining our next work priorities.

Additionally, many players have voluntarily created game guides in text, video, and other formats for new players, recommending their builds and gameplay tips. We will maintain a healthy content ecosystem in the player community, encouraging player creation. Also, welcome to join our Discord!”

About This Game



Our bug fixing progress will be displayed in this online document:



Meta-Ghost: The Breaking Show is a 3D roguelite hack-and-slash action game. Built on the foundation of "cyberpunk" culture, the game provides a thrilling and fast-paced combat experience while telling a profound cyberpunk story.





Play as one “breaker” (or several) in Breaking Show, battling intelligent machines with cybernetic enhancements and state-of-the-art weapons provided by the organizers in the future city of "Aeropolis." With each defeat or victory, you will gradually uncover the secrets of "the soul" and the outcome it desires...



As a Breaking Show participant with your own personal channel, you must get used to fighting on live broadcasts. Not only do you need to defeat every mechanical opponent in front of you, but you also need to strive for visually stunning performances to please event sponsors and viewers eagerly anticipating your cool moves. Their likes and dislikes will either aid or hinder you on the field.



Combining elements of "glitch art," "street art," "pop art," and other trendsetting styles creates a unique "cyber graffiti style" with a cutting-edge feel and visual impact.




Through the participant's lounge modification pod, you can enhance and modify your cybernetic enhancements and weapons, creating a dangerous and diverse fighting style. From event organizers to sponsors, you will have access to a vast array of freely combinable and customizable drivers to equip your cybernetic enhancements with special abilities, making you unbeatable on the field. The relics of other eliminated contestants left on the field will also be a major asset, allowing you to break through with their unfulfilled beliefs.




Breaking Show offers a range of combat styles to suit your preferences, whether you prefer hit-and-run tactics, head-on defense and counterattacks, or precise finesse. The Breakers in the lounge are a diverse group with unique fighting styles, providing a variety of experiences and event performances. Intelligent machines, poised to replace soldiers, agents, and bodyguards, are also preparing for the competition with flexible cooperation, adding to the already diverse lineup and ensuring that every contestant attempting to climb to the top will be successfully blocked.



As the venue for Breaking Show, the temporarily closed-off streets may appear normal, but be sure to watch every step you take, even on drainage grates or manhole covers - they could become deadly traps at any moment. Of course, this is only if you can keep your focus while taking down every mechanical opponent in front of you.




So, are you ready to make a name for yourself as a participant in the new season? After all, "the soul" is watching and eagerly anticipating your arrival.
