2D Shooter BUTCHER Channels Its Inner DOOM on PS4 This Month

Bloody hell

by Robert Ramsey Tue 2nd May 2017

If you're up for some rock hard 2D shooting, then BUTCHER might be just what the doctor ordered. Inspired by the likes of DOOM and other 90s blast-'em-ups, BUTCHER is stuffed with blood, guts, and a ridiculous amount of ammunition. It launches for PlayStation 4 on the 9th May, and you can get a good eyeful of it in the trailer that we've embedded above.

What do you make of this one? Try not to get squished in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Pass, after shantae half-genie hero and wonderboy dragon trap, I don't want another pixel game, I want beautifull 2D games.

@wiiware I rather see nice looking 2D games Odin Sphere stuff like that. Or at least nice quality 2D pixelstuff.

Graphics aside, this looks like it could be a lot of fun. I would be more tempted to buy it if it were on the Vita though.

Wooooo boy, are those graphics UGLY! And what's up with the edgelordy trailer narration ala Hatred? At least Hatred didn't make my eyes want to bleed.

I'll pass, even though the gameplay itself looks like it could be fun. I'll try it once it goes to PS+.
