Key features
Enemies coordinate, so speed has to be earned
Enemy squads communicate and use flanks, covering fire and grenades to flush you out of position. That is the difference between this and a pure movement shooter: you cannot simply outrun the encounter, because the room reorganises around where you stopped. Combat stays fast but the pace is set by whether you read the squad correctly.
Gravity-Gloves make the level a weapon rack
An arsenal of 40-plus weapons is only interesting if you run out of them. The Gravity-Gloves close that gap by letting the environment supply ammunition and momentum between pickups, which keeps the shooter honest during the stretches where a conventional FPS would hand you a resupply crate.
2000s console-FPS design, not just 2000s aesthetics
The stated reference point is the moment the genre moved from shooting in corridors to building worlds. That shows up in level construction rather than filters: arenas that read as places in a city, with sightlines you can use, instead of a retro-styled shooting gallery.
Where to find it
Available on Steam for $19.99. Windows PC, full controller support, subtitle and volume accessibility options. English with full audio, plus 10 other languages.
Frequently asked questions
How much does SPRAWL zero cost?
SPRAWL zero is 19.99 dollars on Steam as of 9 September 2026.
Is SPRAWL zero a sequel to SPRAWL?
It is a separate entry in the same series from developer MAETH, published by Kwalee, and released on 8 September 2026. It does not require having played the earlier game.
Is SPRAWL zero a boomer shooter?
It sits in that revival, but the stated reference is the 2000s console FPS era rather than the 1990s. Enemy squads coordinate with flanks and covering fire, so it is less about pure movement speed than most boomer shooters.
How many weapons are in SPRAWL zero?
Over 40 weapons, alongside Gravity-Gloves and augments that let the environment supply momentum and ammunition between pickups.
Does SPRAWL zero have controller support?
Yes, full controller support including DualShock and DualSense, plus subtitle options, custom volume controls and adjustable difficulty.
Is SPRAWL zero violent?
Yes. Steam lists content descriptors for violence and gore. It is a shooter set in a collapsing cyberpunk city and does not soften that.
