BUTCHER

I got a bit of a Hotline Miami vibe from how the difficulty was structured, for most human-like enemies it would roughly take the same amount of damage to die as it takes you, so unlike corridor shooters where you’d just run and gun, sometimes it’s recommended to stop and actually think about your approach and/or take things slower, it adds a strategic layer of depth.

I found the gameplay to be a very good mixture of shooting, platforming and adaptive thinking.

BUTCHER sounds and looks exactly like a 90s shooter, I found myself enjoying the soundtrack quite a bit, and graphically it’s very, very pleasing given that you like this type of art style.

Everything present in the game is done amazingly well, from weapons to music.

Sound effects while relatively simple, are powerful enough and successfully make the game more macabre: enemies scream in agony while burning, shotgun blasts shake the screen and sirens roar loudly at the extermination zones.

Controller setup has auto aim lock on vs. the mkb, which could give an easier play through.
