About This Game

“Atomic Butcher: Homo Metabolicus” is a deranged, fast-paced, ridiculously gory, post-apocalyptic retro 2D platformer/shooter with 360° aiming.

You play the role of a crazed mutant freak, the Atomic Butcher. On your search for food in the post-apocalyptic wastelands, you blatantly destroy everything in your way and finish off a dying society. Resources are scarce, so you turn to the next best thing: meat that is still running around; whether those are dangerous mutated animals, or humans trying to rebuild a broken world does not make much of a difference. On the bottomline, they are all very tasty.

You dish out damage using mostly your own body:
  • pee on your enemies,
  • use your radioactive poop,
  • vomit the hell out of the poor bastards that encounter you, and
  • slide and dash into everything.

If that's not enough, you can use weapons lying around in the wasteland, as well as corpses of slain enemies or anything that can be picked up. There are also a lot of deadly traps, but you may be able to use them to your advantage.

The gameplay is pretty straight-forward: kill enemies, eat their meat, find more enemies, repeat. Really, there is not more to it. Yes, the game is very violent, but it does not try to hide this behind euphemisms; it is very blunt about that, which makes this the kind of over-the-top ridiculous gem that we from Das Humankapital like to play.

Beat the single-player campaign in 13 levels stretched over 5 environments. Become the perfect weapon of mass digestion: the Homo Metabolicus. There are approximately 7 hours of gameplay waiting for you. But beware, it's not made too easy!

The details have long been forgotten … a great collapse, mass madness, cannibalism, no more free wi-fi. After the downfall, strange beings emerged from the radiated, poisoned remains …

Behold the next step in human evolution: “Homo Metabolicus”!

Endlessly you roam the wastes, deranged and on a mad quest for fresh meat … a scourge for the few surviving pockets of humanity, a walking manifestation of all that lead us to our end in the first place, pure desire for instant gratification and hunger, you are only known as

…the ATOMIC BUTCHER!
