CRUELTY SQUAD IS WONDERFUL AND DEPRAVED
🕑 Added 2021-07-16 13:14:48 +0000 UTCWhat kind of game is good but can also drive you to the heights of madness?
Cruelty Squad was highly, highly requested because it's insane nonsense im-sim weirdness with just a hint of jank. A light sprinkling of jank, a whiff to acclimate the palate. I love this game, but that love didn't come easy. It required a dedication to playing through it and the knowledge that it would get better. As I started putting this video together, PC Gamer gave this game 93/100, a score that would usually cost some sweet EA bucks - which I know the devs of this game don't have despite their claims to a perfectly attuned CEO mindset. Fucking LARPers!
It's a tough game to look at so, in addition to the photosensitivity warning in the video, here is another photosensitivity warning, because even though I subjected someone with photosensitive epilepsy to parts the video, you just can't be sure with this one.
There's a spoiler tag about halfway through if you aren't interested in seeing the full descent into madness before playing the game yourself. Good luck. Have a merry christmas.

If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it.
Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list.

I can do this but I think cancer mouse green requires it to glow. Which is easy enough.
ji
Could you make my name cancer-mouse-green and spell my name "Pizza"
Civvie

Civvie, you made me download and play this game. I thought I was a good and faithful patron, why are you doing this to me!? Naw but seriously. I just played the first level of this game and............................................................
I interpret the janky lean mechanic as a jab to Siege and other modern fps

Glad you came round to it. It's a hell of a thing.

So, now I never need to experience playing Deus Ex on acid. Thanks Civvie! I also appreciated the James Bond/Austin Powers dueling non-copywritten musical tracks.
I feel like there's a big influence of style from the likes of Million Dollar Extreme's World Peace and even a bunch of Sam Hyde's work with all the Windows 98 shit all over the place and i love it.

Did you have a good depression nap?

This kinda looks like Deus Ex but with less (or more) conspiracy, and dolphins.

I am extremely tired right now to the point where what I watch isn't completely comprehended, and it made this video so much better. This was amazing to watch, I'm happy to hear how much joy you had in your voice when explaining the absolute mess of this game (that I will definitely need to rewatch in the morning). Thanks for putting my name in the end, thanks for the laughs, I'm going to get some sleep now in the safety of my funko-less room, stay cool beans Civvie <3

The boss looks like Slimer with teeth, a pig nose, and a hat.

I remember the days when Dusk bring a single Dev unity game or Ion Maiden being on the build engine was the wackiest thing on this channel. I feel like im getting too old for all these indie shooters. Help me Civvie, hold a pillow on my face until the kicking stops.
Civvie
yeah it does. That's from when I had it in 640x480 to see the secret hidden wall and didn't change it back for the whole level thinking there might be more.

At 23:50 the resolution changes to 4:3 for one scene and then back to 16:9.

Oh btw man can you make my name in the credits Noods4myDoods69? Thanks Broseidon, Lord of the Brocean.
Liquid Pigeon
Great fucking video, but you know what I really liked about it? Hearing you talk about your enjoyment and adoration for this absolute cluster fuck of a game. I can tell you really do think it's amazing, and it's really damn nice hearing you so genuinely happy to talk about it. Fuck yeah, man.
JOE MOTHERFUCKING TREEFELNER
Fuck yes
Civvie
Ack! I checked that one on patreon too because it looked weird. The fuck. I'll fix it for the public upload.
Binary Order
My name got spelt as Binary Oder in the credits haha, I suppose that works with having BO as the acronym
Siiiiiick! Watching this later. Cheers dude!
