Fight Through Prison
Rebuild After Death
Mix Cybernetic Implants
KIBORG is a brutal rogue-lite beat’em up where you enhance your body with new cybernetic implants each run. You’ve been sent to the worst prison in the galaxy for crimes you didn’t commit. Death won’t provide an escape, but a violent reality show may offer a way out.

KIBORG casts you as Morgan, an inmate serving a 1,300-year sentence in a prison where death means being reconstructed to continue serving it. Your chance to escape is to fight through the prison’s violent reality show and reach a shuttle on the roof.
In third-person arenas, you battle groups of inmates with punches, kicks, combos and special attacks, while also using melee weapons and firearms. Dodging, blocking and parrying help you manage incoming attacks as enemy groups mix different types and tactics.
Each run offers weapons, cybernetic implants and mutations that can shape your abilities and playstyle. Death ends the run, but earned resources can buy persistent skill-tree upgrades, expanding your options for future attempts.
Many reviewers enjoy the fast, forceful arena combat and the range of playstyles created by implants, mutations, weapons and upgrades. They often describe the repeated-run loop as compelling, especially as permanent progression and growing combat skill make later attempts feel stronger. Other players find the early progression tough, the arenas repetitive, or the game’s bugs and rough edges disruptive.
In the future, even death can’t free you. If a criminal dies while serving their sentence, they are reconstructed to return to their suffering. And you’re serving a 1300-year sentence. The only way to shorten this sentence? Win on “The Last Ticket.” The rules are simple: there is a shuttle on the roof of the prison, and if you can fight your way through hordes of other inmates and reach it in time, you will be given your freedom.
KIBORG is a hybrid of old-school beat’em ups, shooters, and rogue-likes. The fights are fast, brutal, and deadly. Sever limbs, squash heads, and tear cybernetic cores apart from living foes. There are dozens of enemy types with unique abilities and tactics, and they are mixed and matched to create hundreds of challenging encounters. If you’re here for blood and gore, you’ve come to the right place.
Replace your body parts with an array of cybernetic implants, enabling a wide variety of playstyles.
Experiment with hundreds of power-enhancing augmentations and apply dozens of mutations to create deadly synergies.
Wield a variety of melee weapons and firearms of all types. Use combos and special attacks to devastate your foes.
Unleash millions of possible combinations and countless potential viable builds to destroy those standing between you and freedom.
