A Repetitive Imitation of Past Games

NOT RECOMMENDED. Skip it - it is not worth wasting your time with. A dull grind. It incorporates the worst aspects of 1990s game design. Bone-dry in terms of content. The "gore" is comparable to a cheeap 256 color 1990s game - tame and dull. The gameplay is repetitive from level 1 to the end. Enjoy the regular kill gauntlets where you kill the same enemies over and over and over again, Unity game too (I read the logs), though it seems the creators paid the premium to not show the Unity logo at the start of the game. Typical of Unity games, the game runs pretty hot despite utilizing minimal assets. The game length is very short and you can beat the whole thing under 90 minutes. Nothing to see there. This game is barely worth two buckaroos for a die-hard grinder. Get CrackDotCom's Abuse instead - that one shows how a proper game of this genre is done. It is public domain now. Take Abuse's good parts such as scripted events and somewhat smart enemies and varying level design - Butcher is NONE of that. Playing bad alternatives like Butcher is the best way to make your life feel as awful as possible.

Difficult but spot on

I suck as platformers but am pretty solid at twin-stick shooters. Somewhere in the middle of those two and my love for old-school shooters I am making my way through this aptly-named game. Fun but tough as hell. Demands that you 'get gud'.

Way too hard!

Nice game, nice feel, sound and effects are lovely.... but..... ITS HARD ON HARD!!! Also it should not be cheaper to buy on steam. Wanted to buy this game, but it would be more frustrating to play. Still i might just buy it anyway on here for a few more cents as i know if i dont due to the price and challange i will not sleep tonite. =(

Bad Control Scheme

The athmosphere and sound design are great but the control scheme and controller support are terrible. I can't recommend this one!

Twitchy, hardcore and short.

Have you seen the trailer? Good. Pretty sure you spotted the similarities with Quake: color palette, weapon roaster, industrial soundtrack, emphasis on constant movement. So, does it manage to translate those qualities into 2D? Well, mostly. Let's start with the good: combat feels great; it's cathartic and fun. Taking a note from Quake, all weapons are useful, with advantages and disadvantages depending on the situation. This is also enhanced by level design that, while not stellar, allows for enough manoeuvrability to help keep the pacing up, adding its own twists on each level (pirhanas, rising lava, fucking razors). Add those two together and you have a game where you must quickly pick off targets with the right weapon, while keeping track of platforms that provide cover and possible escape routes... oh yeah, the review's title says 'hardcore'. Here's my main problem: for a game that compells you to go fast, you have to be very precise, because ammo is provided in just the right amount. This, unfortunately, can lead to level memorization, killing you over and over until you excecute the right sequence to finish a level. And enemies deal a lot of damage. Add those two together and you have a game that can become a trial-and-error grind, deriving most of its length from that factor alone. But when it clicks, it goddamn clicks. You're this unstoppable human-killing robot that gracefully bunnyhops and gibs its way to an excellent example of a final boss: one that puts everything you've learned from previous enemies and enviromental hazards to the test. During the 4 hours and a half that I've spent finishing this game, I had a blast, even though I'm pretty sure they'll be easy to forget in a couple weeks. But for the asking price, I'm not complaining. And there are still secrets and harder difficulty modes to unlock, so who knows. Maybe Butcher will grab my attention again in the near future. P.D.: Don't even think about playing with a controller. This is keyboard and mouse mandatory.
