Our take on Wholesome Slaughter
Rather than pairing a retro shooter with a grim battlefield or horror setting, the game places its violence in a cheerful fantasy land populated by cute mythical creatures. The contrast between bright surroundings and aggressive combat is its clearest departure from genre convention.
What is Wholesome Slaughter?
Wholesome Slaughter is a retro-style first-person shooter set in Sugar Land, a fantasy world inhabited by mythical creatures.
The game includes a linear mini-campaign with 4 levels, each set in a different area, plus an arena mode built around surviving enemy waves. Arena difficulty increases over time, with health and ammunition respawns during the fight. The weapon selection includes a combat pistol, pump-action gun, rifle, firework launcher, unicorn shiv, and holy hand grenades. An original soundtrack accompanies the action. The story begins after the protagonist enters an unknown dimension and becomes hostile toward the inhabitants, creating a contrast between the cheerful setting and the violent gameplay.
