Netwalker is a unique real-world exploration game set in a cyberpunk-inspired universe. Players venture into the real world, utilizing their GPS positions to conquer nodes representing real-world landmarks and locations. In this multiplayer online game, players establish territorial control by connecting conquered nodes, generating in-game currency, and strategically upgrading nodes to increase resistance against rival players. Engaging in real-time multiplayer interactions, players can enter each other's territories to absorb credits and strengthen their dominance in the futuristic cityscape.
