What is NEOTOKYO?
It is an FPS that takes place in a cyberpunk setting, heavily inspired by the series called Ghost in the Shell. Aesthetics range from urban city to lab/factory to old Japanese architecture. The game is a former source mod that is now available to anyone with Steam.
Just give me the OST!

Streaming and full FLAC zip download provided in there which is already slow so I'm not going to direct link, it's completely free or you can give the artist Ed Harrison the cash for it in BUYING it HERE. The OST does not play in the game, I don't know why exactly.
So what is the gameplay like in NEOTOKYO?
The game play is somewhere between Day of Defeat Source along with game play tactics like Rainbow Six/SWAT.
What type of game modes are there?
Capture the Ghost
(TDM did exist in some form at some point but Capture the Ghost can end up being the same thing easily)
How many maps are there?
The game comes with around 20 or more.
How many and what kind of weapons is there?
Around 20 weapons including grenades, machine guns, rifles, and pistols.
What do i need to play?
Steam, download the game completely free, no extras, it's actually legit FREE.
Why does it look old?
The game was originally released 8 years ago for UT2004 before the Source upgrade was released in 2009. It was made by more or less 5 people.

Weapons & XP system
Weapon types include standard weapons such as pistols, sub machine guns, shotgun, heavy machine guns, assault rifles, semi-automatic rifles, long range scoped rifles. The game has a limited number of weapons you can choose upon joining a game or starting a new map. Think of it like gathering cash in Counter Strike except the value cannot go down. All 3 classes have mostly the same weapons available eventually but unlock in different order, I say mostly because only the Assault class can choose the final 3 unlocked weapons. XP is gathered by kills, assists, surviving or capturing the ghost yourself. The better you play, the more weapon choices will you have.
Game mode
The aim is to capture the Ghost and deliver it to the extraction point which is at the enemy starting zone, kind of like reverse CTF with 1 flag. The Ghost spawn varies, sometimes close to one team or somewhere between the two. Picking up the Ghost means dropping your primary weapon and prevents sprinting however equipping it in your hand grants the ability to see opponents locations through solid walls on the HUD up to 40m away, you can't fire your secondary while doing so and changing between the Ghost to another weapons means it takes several seconds to reinitialise the Ghost HUD functions when you swap back, so voice chat can become your biggest threat to the enemy team. The ghost is an instant delivery when you reach the destination. The game is round based so victory is declared for a team if they eliminate the entire enemy team before time runs out.
Tactical or rush?
Defining how NEOTOKYO is best played is difficult. Different maps will mean vastly different approaches, one popular map in particular allows one team to drop into the other team's spawn right right after spawning by jumping from a rooftop. A large share provide many routes and the the class differences can make it a guessing game to where the lines will be drawn or how they're fought for or whether you've exposed your flank. A good player will make more informed decisions but can still lose the gamble.
Squad system
The game uses a squad system for those who want to take things further or just play with friends using a simple HUD function. Pressing the F5 to F9 keys will assign you to squad Alpha, Bravo etc. Players in your squad appear listed at the top left of the screen and appear with a 5 squared symbol on screen as opposed to the standard 4 square for teammates outside your squad. Most people are just there to have fun and ignore the squad system so don't worry if you're a beginner, it's mostly useful for playing with people you know.
