By Blood Steel and Sacrifice March 11, 2022

“這是一個快節奏的像素風橫向射擊遊戲. 遊戲看似畫質非常差, 呈現角色和敵人的向素也非常低. 但是敵人的慘叫聲, 整體的畫面氛圍和殺死敵人後留下的血跡和屍塊還是讓遊戲呈現出一種非常血腥的風格. 遊戲整體是以致敬經典系FPS為基礎設計的, 但是也有休閒模式給只想放鬆的人遊玩. 所以不管是想挑戰高難度還是想純粹的殺戮的人來說, 只要能接受比較粗糙的像素風格都建議購買遊玩. 唯一缺點就是遊玩時長較短.”

“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

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

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.
