Butcher is a run and gun video game developed by Phobia Game Studio and Transhuman Design. Crunching Koalas and Transhuman Design published it in 2016.

Gameplay

Players control a cyborg tasked with destroying all life on Earth. This takes the form of multiple levels of 2D platforms where the player clears all enemies.[1] It is a run and gun video game that uses twin-stick controls.[2]

Development

Butcher was developed in Poland.[3] A free browser game prototype was released in 2015,[4] It was released for PCs on October 5, 2016;[5] PlayStation 4 on May 9, 2017;[2] Xbox One on May 10, 2017;[6] and Nintendo Switch on September 27, 2017.[7] The game advertises "hard" as its easiest difficulty setting. Due to player requests, a free DLC that implements casual difficulty was added.[8]

Reception

Butcher received mixed reviews on Metacritic.[9] Hardcore Gamer recommended the game to people who enjoy violent and challenging retro games but said it may not appeal to people outside of that niche.[1] Commenting on the game's violence, GameSpot said that "beneath that gruff exterior is a thoughtfully crafted game".[10] Digitally Downloaded said the game comes close to its goal of channeling Doom in a 2D game but is "let down by its idea of scale".[11] Push Square wrote, "It’s brief, chaotic, and hard as nails, but this is a glorious throwback that every fan of 90s shooters should pick up."[2] Nintendo Life said the gameplay is repetitive but recommended it to players who enjoy challenging games.[7]
