About Cyberman V
Cyberman carries a laser gun, so this is an old-school run-and-gun gun platformer where most problems are solved by firing first.
Each level asks you to collect enough gems and then find the exit, a large dark doorway. The gems sit in the corners of the level, usually behind enemies or obstacles. If your health drops to zero, you have to retry the level.

The story takes place in a future where almost any electrical device can get a voice unit and be called a robot. Cyberman is a humanoid one, and he is surrounded by hostile machines of every shape and size.
These robots fill the role of monster enemies here. Each one hurts you on contact and has its own movement pattern, and each one goes down when you shoot it.
Enemies are not the only danger. Lasers and flame traps need to be dodged, and spikes kill Cyberman instantly the moment he touches them. Health pickups in the levels restore lost health, crates and boxes break when you shoot them, and coins are there to collect along the way.
The game brings in its threats one at a time as you move through the levels, so you meet each new danger before it gets combined with others. The rooms are cramped and Cyberman is less durable than he looks, which makes this a careful skill game more than a race.
Quick summary
- You spawn in a level and explore it from one end to the other.
- You shoot robots, avoid traps and pick up gems, coins and health on the way.
- Once you have enough gems, you head for the dark doorway to finish the level.
- If your health runs out, you start that level again.
Key features
- You play as Cyberman, a humanoid robot with a laser gun.
- Enemy robots come in many shapes and sizes, each with its own movement pattern.
- Lasers and flame traps hurt, while spikes are an instant kill.
- You can slide as well as run and jump, and you can shoot open crates and boxes.
- It is a side-scrolling action platformer that introduces new threats gradually.
Tips & tricks
- Cyberman moves slowly, so rushing gains you little. Clear each area before moving on.
- In tight rooms, dodging enemies is risky. Shooting them is usually the safer choice.
- Before jumping near spikes, check for enemies or traps that could stun you or knock you into them.
- Pick up health pickups when you are hurt, since the cramped levels leave little room for mistakes.
