Bomb Rush Cyberfunk chapter 1 - Introducing Bomb Rush Crew

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is an action-adventure game developed and published by Team Reptile. The player controls a member of a graffiti Writer gang called Bomb Rush Crew as they use boostpacks traversing around New Amsterdam, paint graffiti, collect beats, combo tricks and facing authority to stake their claim to the sprawling metropolis of New Amsterdam. The game was first released in Japan on Switch on 18 August 2023 and released worldwide for Linux, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on the same day afterward.

The game's gameplay bear similarity to Jet Set Radio with the exception of an option to switch between inline skates, skateboards, and BMX with each has different hidden functions, Reputation points (Shortened as REP) which can be gained by replacing other gang's graffiti with theirs, and access to flip phone which the player can use to access available sequence for the graffities they have collected after completing a mission, music for background the player has collected so far (Some of them are found in hard-to-reach platform) which can be manually picked and turned on or off from Red's phone, access to camera with the filter option and switch point of view between front or self (The camer's POV depends on the character's animation while holding the phone) and gallery with the option to view the captured photo in full screen and delete photos. Player gained access to boostpack at the beginning of the game which can help the player reach hard-to-reach platforms with correct timing. Boostpack fuel meter can be replenished by hitting vending machines and dumpsters which will spit out some fuel orbs for the player to collect. Player character also regenerates health over time if they are hurt (By cops, falling, unpassable wall hazard or DJ Cyber's disc during his boss battle).

Unlike Jet Set Radio's combo system, the game's combo can only be increased by leaning left or right before the player character hit a corner while grinding or wallride. The player can also use the boostpack to gain a large amount point multiplied by the player's current combo at the cost of some fuel which is useful for outscoring rival gang in Crew Battle.

After rival gang retreat to their main turf, spraying some amounts of graffities will increase heat which will summon cops who will do anything to capture or kill the player character regardless of heat level ranging from ordinary cops (They will gain access to firearm halfway through the game, making them more dangerous), turrets shooting handcuffs with chains attached to the turret to stop players movement (The player can free themselves by pressing the second trick button. The manacles will stay on the character's body parts until they switch to other character), armored cops, snipers, and lastly helicopters.

Chapter 1 begins or so I though...after Faux's head decapitated by DJ Cyber's blade disc weapon, Tryce brought him back to life and replaced his head with a cyberhead. When Faux wakes up, Tryce welcomed him to his crew's hideout starts introducing him to the available member right now: Himself and Bel. Bel showed Faux his new head through her phone's gallery which Faux guessed...that he died, and Tryce told him that he died from decapitation. Tryce continued that he had a friend who helped him plugged to the cyberhead and Bel said that it's common as there are a lot of cyberheads in New Amsterdam. With his head now cyber, Bel wonders if they should give him a new name that his head is a cyber and finally named him after his cyberhead color: Red. Tryce gave Red a skateboard for a starter and Bel give several tutorials for him now that he is their new member. At the end of the tutorial, Bel gave him an old phone model which he can use, and Tryce called him as he had something to say. When Red talked to him, he reminds him once again the name of their gang: Bomb Rush Crew. If he wants respect, he needs to start gathering REP point by painting graffiti in any graffiti spots he can find around him. All crews carry a spray can for painting graffiti, and it never runs out which is very convenient. There are several graffiti spots which Red can use to start spraying, each spots have different size from small to Xtra large. To do graffiti, Red needs to connect dots in available sequence which will instantly pain the graffiti of respective sequence on the spot when done.
