Atomic Butcher: Homo Metabolicus Reviews

So ive finally beaten this game and it was quite hard, but once you learn how to use the abilities like dash, slide, jump, piss and some patterns for boss fights its very enjoyable and smooth. But why am i even talking about this? Atomic Butcher h. metabolicus is a sequel or resumption of a 2004 platformer shooter of the same name, which I have not played, but from what i ve seen the sequel is just the same idea but much better. Both games are basically diy project of two enthusiasts, and that's a bit visible on the technical state of the game, but it also adds a certain charm and originality. For me it became one of my top favourite games, for several reasons. Firstly i am a fan of 90s/00s era games like Abuse 1995 and this just fits perfectly in terms of style, but also adds something new (if you mind 4:3 crt ratio, its probably not for you). Secondly finding something more over the top, crazy ,violent and unconventional would be very hard. The soundtrack composed by two members of Austrian black metal band Locus Neminis is just awesome mixing metal, industrial and techno. But lets also mention some downsides of this game, forexample the sound of Flying Meat Skull is ridiculously loud, the optimalization is not the best and the gameplay felt a bit short. To sum it up its unique, fast, funny and i can only recommend to give it a try.
