'The Bug Butcher' (ALL) Comes To Nintendo Switch Next Week

by Rainier on Oct. 30, 2018 @ 8:20 a.m. PDT

The Bug Butcher is a 2D, action-packed, side-scrolling shoot-'em-up game where peril comes from above. Use a wide selection of weapons and power-ups to tear through increasingly challenging levels.

So in a nutshell, pest control with machine guns in space. Something has gone terribly wrong and the super secret science facility has been infested with nasty bugs which really, really like the  poor scientists there (like them for breakfast that is). You are Harry, the best bug exterminator in the galaxy and those scientists better have insurance to cover this because your services aren't cheap!

The surviving and dwindling number of scientists employed him for his slaughtering skills. Harry’s mission: survive until the decontamination of the building is complete, hoard coins like his life depended on it, and protect the scientists at all costs. Watch out for the spiders they have a particular fondness for rubber encased scientist brains.

After landing, you will move from room to room through the facility blasting rockets, lasers, and wielding the power of lighting upwards at anything not human. Ravenous swarms and ferocious waves of bugs of every size will attempt to kill you, but luckily there will be weapon and health pick-ups to aid Harry on his quest. Fierce reflexes are mandatory for survival, but Harry’s brutal power-ups will let the guts fly and make the larva cry!

Exterminate increasingly crazier waves of  bouncing bugs through 30 levels, blasting them into smaller and smaller chunks that somehow keep on bouncing around with beautifully predictable patterns.Customize your gear and upgrade your weapons for those situations when a swarm of guided missiles may come in handy. 

Bring in a friend and play in endless co-op mode! Nothing is a better declaration of friendship than burning bugs together with a well targeted superlaser (Magnifying glass? Ants? Childhood memories are the best!). And when that competitive side kicks in smash those very same friends on the online leaderboards! Finally, for the completionists beat each level racking up your combo to earn all the game stars!

And obviously all this comes to the Nintendo Switch in the best possible way at an eye-popping razor sharp 1080p resolution with lightning fast 60 FPS. Playable in docked, handheld, tabletop, your sofa and your bed! It also comes with two player support on a single Nintendo Switch. Want to feel even more in control? Nintendo Switch Pro controller is also supported

If you love games with humor, perfect platforming, grotesquely cute art, nightmarish bosses, and real personality then The Bug Butcher will suit your fancy.
