    A very addictive and fast paced love letter to mid 90's atmospheric shooters. as a relic from the same era myself, am loving it! i love the violence, the moody music and even the punishing difficulty.

    This game has to little to offer in a variety of categories. Mechanics, fun and pixels. Just a few more pixels would've helped. Also I personally think it's too difficult as well - I get that you're trying to be 'hardcore', but for me, and seemingly a big part of the people who gave this game a shot, this just killed the fun within minutes of playing the game, seeing as only 30% of playersThis game has to little to offer in a variety of categories.

I would've preferred if it would've been more easy to get into and then got gradually harder instead of being frustrating in the first level.… Expand

    Butcher is definitely not for everyone its technical state is nothing to be proud of. On the other hand, it offers high difficulty and big amount of masochist fun, that you will not find just anywhere. [Issue #270]

    Brutal retro massacre. Bloody and bloody difficult, desperately unoriginal, but entertaining in the core– and this is all what matters.

    Butcher is a living relic, a callback to the days when being gritty and macabre was a goal unto itself. But make no mistake: beneath that gruff exterior is a thoughtfully crafted game.
