DOOM-style brutality in a fast, vicious 2D run-and-gun shooter.
This game is a banger if you're into ridiculous amounts of gore, bad*ss weapons, and a heavy as s*t atmosphere, the in game character sprites aren't gonna win any beauty contests but the concept art is absolute fire, the environments and the batsh*it crazy gameplay make up for it This game is hard, but it doesn't pull that cheap bulls*it difficulty that pi**es you off, If you're gonna play it, use a controller though, makes all the difference Its me or there's some serious Quake 1 vibes going on here but in 2D, and I'm not even sure if I'm trippin or if anyone else gets that feeling, but I'm pretty sure that's intentional Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who isn't a casual. It's a challenge, especially if you put it to hard difficulty. This is not for the faint of heart or any baby or easy mode gamers, but if you've got balls and can handle getting your a*s handed to you until you git gud, this is your game plus the workshop is loaded 9/10 would brutalize myself again
takes three hours to beat but its peak
BUTCHER is a fast spaced 2D side scrolling shooter which feels like DOOM but in 2D. Let me tell you, this game is NOT easy, normal mode is hard mode but luckily they have a DLC to play the game in easy mode if you just want a casual playthrough (which I wanted). The game is not super long, and can be played through in about 1.5 hours on easy mode, otherwise you will be in for a lot of trial and error (similar to Hotline Miami).
В игре можно зарезать человека бензопилой, а потом помacтурбирoвать на это. 1000/10
[h3] 🧠 TITLE (EN): “Brutal, Fast, and Unforgiving — A Love Letter to Old-School Carnage” [/h3] [code] [quote=Wendrex] 🎮 Introduction If you miss the raw brutality of old-school games, BUTCHER doesn’t just bring it back — it throws it in your face. This 2D shooter is fast, violent, and unapologetically intense. 🔥 Gameplay At its core, it’s simple: run, jump, and kill everything. But execution is where BUTCHER shines. Movement feels tight and responsive, and every weapon serves a clear purpose — from close-range destruction to full-room devastation. What sets it apart is pacing. There’s no downtime. Every room feels like a calculated risk, forcing you to think fast and act faster. Despite its simplicity, level design keeps things engaging and avoids feeling repetitive. 🎨 Graphics, Audio & Immersion The pixel art is gritty and detailed, perfectly matching the game’s brutal tone. Animations are sharp and impactful, making every encounter feel visceral. The soundtrack leans heavily into industrial and aggressive tones, constantly pushing the momentum forward. Combined with punchy sound effects, the immersion is strong and relentless. ⚖️ Difficulty & Progression This is not a forgiving game — and that’s the point. The challenge is immediate and consistent. You learn through failure, pattern recognition, and precision. Progression is straightforward: you improve because you get better. And once things start to click, the gameplay becomes incredibly satisfying. 🧩 Fun Factor / Addictiveness The gameplay loop is highly addictive: die, learn, retry, improve. Each cleared section feels earned. Replayability is also a strong point, whether you're chasing better performance or just mastering each level more efficiently. ✅ Conclusion BUTCHER is a brutally satisfying experience for players who enjoy real challenge and tight gameplay. ⭐ Recommended for: fans of hardcore shooters and old-school difficulty 🚫 Not ideal for: players looking for a casual or relaxed experience If you enjoy intense gameplay where every mistake matters, this game absolutely delivers.

Куча маленьких кишков заполняют ваш экран каждую секунду, если вы конечно умеете играть или один маленький кишок будет уже от вас!
love this type of games
The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world after a great war. Players don't take on the role of a hero trying to save humanity, but rather a cyborg on the side of the machine, determined to destroy it. Despite its release in 2016, the game perfectly captures the atmosphere of '90s games. I played on the hard difficulty setting and at times felt like giving up, but I persevered and don't regret it. Because the base game doesn't have an easy difficulty setting, you can feel the difficulty of games released on PlayStation PSP. The game itself isn't very long, doesn't have many missions, but it does include collectibles in the form of skulls. I think the price is fair for the content; you can always wait for a sale. I recommend this game to people who enjoy a challenge and this type of gameplay atmosphere.
