Memory Lost

Detraxis is a neon-soaked corporate nightmare where identity becomes ammunition. Memory Lost is a fast, top-down cyberpunk shooter that casts you as an artificial intelligence escaping the control of RedSky Corporation, the company responsible for its creation and the city’s cruellest experiments. Rather than relying on one hero with a fixed loadout, you survive by invading other bodies and turning an enemy force against itself. The tone is harsh and conspiratorial, but flashes of dark humor and tragic side stories keep its dystopia from feeling one-note.

Combat revolves around rapid possession: weaken or reach an opponent, take control of their body, then use its particular weapons, movement options, and combat traits before shifting again. Sixty enemy types make those swaps meaningful, since a heavily armed guard, agile specialist, or melee bruiser changes how you approach the next room. Gunfights draw from a large weapon pool, while close-range attacks offer a riskier answer when ammunition, positioning, or your current host demand it. Five upgrade paths let you lean into aggressive damage, survivability, hacking, or flexible body-hopping, and boss encounters test whether you can read enemy patterns while managing the chaos around you.

The possession mechanic gives Memory Lost a more tactical rhythm than a typical twin-stick shooter: every hostile can become a temporary tool, weapon, or escape route. Its hand-drawn animated scenes and hub-based city structure support a story built around infiltration, corporate abuse, and decisions that lead toward three possible endings. Hidden conversations and optional discoveries add texture for players willing to search beyond the main combat route, while the changing hosts encourage experimentation on repeat runs. Fans of Hotline Miami’s brisk overhead violence or Ruiner’s cyberpunk hostility should find plenty to like, especially if they want a shooter where adaptation matters as much as aiming.
