# Cyberpunk Shooter Games Ruiner is a Narrative-Driven Cyberpunk Game That Takes Place in 2091 By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-05-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyberpunk-game References: [theverge](http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/6/11602692/ruiner-cyberpunk-shooter-game) & [ruinergame](http://ruinergame.com/) Polish designers from the '[Reikon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruiner-2)' team have created a cyberpunk game titled 'Ruiner.' Using a dark anime influence that has garnered it comparisons to the popular 'Ghost in the Shell', Ruiner's narrative-driven plot makes it a compelling edition to the [shooter genre](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-raiders). The bleak, futuristic setting includes a heaven, hell and purgatory, with the city of Rengkok being the latter. With the city controlled by a domineering capitalist system, the enlightened protagonist fights against his trapped reality. With challenging missions and never ending violence in the desolate dystopia, developers have included a "Tourist Mode." This will allow gamers who are frustrated with not being able to complete a mission to take a break and explore the intricate city. The game's use of detailed 3D graphics make it a standout amongst competitors. Although the cyberpunk game has a strong narrative element, the Reikon team includes as little text as possible to allow for smoother advancement, letting the game "speak for itself." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Cyberpunk Games:** Creating immersive cyberpunk games with strong narratives and stunning visual graphics provides disruptive innovation opportunities in the gaming industry. - **Narrative-driven Games:** Developing story-focused games that prioritize immersive storytelling and minimal text prompts disruptive innovation opportunities for game developers. - **Tourist Mode in Games:** Incorporating a tourist mode in challenging games allows for a more inclusive gaming experience and presents disruptive innovation opportunities for enhancing player engagement. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gaming Industry:** The gaming industry can leverage the rise of cyberpunk games, narrative-driven experiences, and inclusive features to drive disruptive innovation and cater to evolving player demands. - **Animation Industry:** The animation industry can explore the growing demand for cyberpunk-inspired visuals, immersive storytelling, and dark anime influences, unlocking new disruptive innovation opportunities for content creation. - **Virtual Reality Industry:** The virtual reality industry can capitalize on the trend of narrative-driven games and create immersive cyberpunk experiences, providing disruptive innovation opportunities for virtual reality platform developers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Latin FPS Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-quimera.md) - [Repeated Horror Shooter Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/witchfire.md) - [Fast-Paced Robot FPS Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roboquest.md) - [Gothic Western RPGs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evil-west.md) - [Classic Action-Inspired Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bomb-rush-cyberpunk.md) - [Horror-Themed Action Shooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remnant-ii.md) - [Lifelike FPS Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unrecord.md) - [Immersive Action-Adventure Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindseye-game.md) - [Cyberpunk Combat Game Sequels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghostrunner-2.md)
