How it feels

A clunky, psychedelic nightmare where you methodically assassinate targets in a hostile, surreal corporate dystopia.

What players say

Cruelty Squad is a deliberately hostile and repulsive game that players call an acid trip. The controls feel bad on purpose and the visuals are intentionally ugly, but players are split on whether that makes it brilliant or just unenjoyable. Fans praise its marriage of capitalist satire and level design, while others bounce off entirely.
