Butcher Prototype Gameplay : Pixelated Blood and Guts (Free Game/Demo Download)
Channel: LIFE RPG
Date: 05/02/2016

Butcher is a wonderful game about a robot who introduces organic life into a plane of existence that most are unable to fully realize. Flamethrowers, rockets, good old shotguns and more await you as you blaze a trail of viscera. Butcher is bloody good fun!

Butcher is obviously not a game for the faint of heart, but the retro nature makes the vast amount of gore slightly easier to stomach. Butcher offers tight gameplay, a variety of difficulty options, and plenty of weapons... But nothing beats kicking your foe into lava.

Butcher: Meating people has never been so fun!

Butcher is a fast-paced 2D shooter game and a blood-soaked love letter to the early 90s by Transhuman Design (creators of Soldat and King Arthur's Gold). You are a cyborg whose sole purpose is to eradicate all organic life. So your main objective is to, well, kill everything that moves. Lots of blood and pain awaits you, and your victims.

The current version is a prototype. Its purpose is to show you a rough idea of how Butcher will look and feel like in the future.

Butcher is an extremely tight, fun, and bloody tribute to the testosterone-fueled gaming that ran so very rampant in the 90s. Weapon variety varies widely, though most of the good stuff isn't experienced until the final stage. The platforming and gun gameplay are both extremely tight and leaves me in heavy anticipation of what might come from the full release. This game is certainly one of Dayton's most wanted. The dark nature of the gameplay is perfect, as enemies you've dispatched wail to be put out of their misery. You can let them bleed out, or shoot them to end their suffering... I find a nice compromise is stomping their organic matter under your giant metal foot until your opponent explodes into a bath of indeterminate meat-chunks.

Butcher has what it takes to be amazing already. How amazing it will be upon final release is anyone's guess, but I will certainly be sitting in anticipation for Butcher's final release. I'd even be inclined to review it if there were some demand for it, but given my first impression the final score would likely come as no surprise. Butcher is one of the most fun things I've seen recently come out of itch.io and I plan to explore these fledgeling titles a little more often for the channel. Butcher is sure to be a large name when the release date finally comes, because you'd have to be insane not to like this game. Or maybe you'd have to be insane to like it. Either way, I know that I really like Butcher as a game. Tight gameplay, varied enemies, copious amounts of blood. Butcher is sure to speak to the inner reptile-brain. If you feel bad for the little pixelated men... Maybe Butcher isn't the game for you. But I bet you'd still buy it to have another notch in your game's library wouldn't you? Youuu filthy little dirtbox. Butcher is what gaming needs. I've had enough with walking simulators and house-building. Lets take gaming back to it's childhood! When gaming was an infant it didn't have much blood, but as a hormone-filled adolescent? You better believe we got into this shit! Thank you for taking us back home Butcher. I'll see you on Steam someday.
