Press reviews: “HARDCORE” John Romero “I’ve enjoyed many games in 2015, but few have put a smile on my face the way Butcher has.” Kotaku “I can think of lots of reasons why shotgunning your way through some 2D pixels might turn your day around, but whatever the cause I recommend Butcher.” Rock, Paper, Shotgun 

Notes: This is a 2D, nostalgia driven throwback to 90's shooters that includes gore. A lot of gore... Body parts laying everywhere, blood dripping from ceiling... There's also use of strong language. But mostly gore. Very fun gore.
