Description
The easiest mode is 'HARD'!

BUTCHER is a fast-paced 2D shooter game and a blood-soaked love letter to the early 90s. As a cyborg programmed to eradicate the last remains of humanity, your sole purpose is to well... annihilate anything that moves.

So grab your weapon of choice (from chainsaw, through shotgun, to grenade launcher) and kill your way through underground hideouts, post-apocalyptic cities, jungles and more. And if you're feeling creative, there are plenty other ways of ending your enemies' misery - hooks, lava pits, saws... no death will ever be the same.

If kicking corpses into a lava pit and adorning walls with blood is your idea of a good time, BUTCHER is THE game for you.
  • Ultra-violent uncompromising carnage in the spirit of Doom and Quake (chainsaw included)
  • Skill-based gameplay mechanics
  • Release your inner artist, paint the walls with (permanent) blood (up to 4 million pixels available to be painted per level)
  • Use the environment (saws, hooks, lava pits, animals and other) to brutally dispose of your enemies
  • Choose from an array of weapons (featuring classics like chainsaw, railgun and the deadly grenade launcher)
  • Adorn more than 20 levels with the insides of your enemies
  • Soak in the dark atmosphere reinforced by a wicked, heavy soundtrack (while you kick corpses around)
  • Die painfully: melt in lava, become piranha food, get crushed by heavy doors... and more!

Death and destruction !

Joyful small game about killing. Great atmosphere, no gratuitous fillers, just you, your shotgun and screams of your victims, perfect game to enjoy 1-2 evenings. Play good both with mouse/keyboard and controller.

Short, but fun

This game is just fun. Run, jump and shoot. There's no real story, it's just about killing everything that's around. I played it on casual level and finished it in less than 2 hours net playing time, but I enjoyed every minute. Sound is good, graphics of course are referencing to an NES game. And the game does not intend to be more than an arcade game. Purpose fulfilled, five stars!

Good little game!

I didn't think that I'd like this at first but, I got it for free so I'm not complaining. I was actually pleasantly surprised. It's a fun little shooter with responsive controller support. It might be ugly and short . That doesn't stop it from being great fun though. Get it on sale for a couple of bucks and give it a try!

Brutal violent and gory but not much fun

Very low-fi in graphics, which makes seeing the details difficult, but is probably a good thing considering how gory and brutal the artwork is. The game play is very violent and challenging due to limited ammunition, health and no saves mid-level, although like the game overall, the levels are very short. There’s no plot or characters, although the presentation is good with its industrial machinery setting and soundtrack which is frequently punctuated by the screams of the dying. It’s fast paced, frantic and tough, but it doesn’t feel rewarding when you win and the game gets repetitive due to the limited range of enemies and weapons. Easy mode is far too easy and there is limited replay value.
