Watch: 26 minutes of gore-soaked Butcher PS4 gameplay

Good news for people who fancy playing as a murderous cyborg intent on wiping out the last remnants of humanity - brutal 2D shooter Butcher has just launched on PS4.

Heavily inspired by Doom, Butcher has this gorgeous, Amiga pixel-art style, looking a bit like Lemmings crossed with Syndicate. It's been out on the PC for a couple of months now, so players may be wondering how well the speedy, twitch-aiming gameplay translates to console.

Thankfully, it works just fine. To help players compensate, the console version of Butcher has aim-assist for controllers that helps you keep your momentum up as you dance around each tiny level, painting the walls with gore and viscera.

As you'll see in the video above, the combat feels great and the tiny weapons pack an unexpected punch, so splattering and exploding the puny little humans is an incredibly satisfying experience.

Xbox One owners eager to get butchering will need to wait until tomorrow before they can get their share of the action.
