Cruelty Squad — is what happens when you gut Rainbow Six and Hitman, flip their corpses and write cryptic funny messages on the floor with their guts. The basic idea is simple. You are a depressed, budget-minded underdog killer. Kill targets, don’t die or do whatever get paid, buy gruesome body modifications that make you a more literal corporate tool and an even bigger loser. Heck, it’s now cyberpunk, a sickening, cynical entertainment product that actively resists the game. But if you like to cheer a little and enjoy it, it’s still worth a try. The Cruelty Squad is weird enough to turn a blind eye. On Steam Early Access, Cruelty Squad now fits firmly into the nascent sensory violence video game genre, where analyzing chaotic textures, quirky UI elements, and how to even play the damn thing is part of the appeal.
