Cruelty Squad

Cruelty Squad is a tactical first-person shooter set in the corporate gig economy of corporate liquidations. You play an emotionally dead, combat-substance-fueled grunt working for Cruelty Squad, a subsidiary hired by its host conglomerate to carry out wetworks. Your missions are to kill or destroy targets and reach the exit; you can pursue the approval of the Corporate Arch Demoness or fail.

Missions and approaches

Missions take place in offices, suburbs, police stations and secret compounds. Each has multiple viable routes and approaches, with open objectives that let you plan a loadout for a tactical advantage and choose lethal or non-lethal options. You can also throw toilet bowls at enemies, find and unlock hidden equipment and levels, then revisit earlier missions to improve your time and try for an S-rank.

Weapons and enemies

Combat uses varied weapons, including the flechette shotgun, silenced 10mm pistol, radiation emitter, dart gun and corrosive gas launcher. Enemies include private security, cops, psycho freaks, flower hybrids, swamp cultists and mutant dogs.

Other systems

You can talk to NPCs to investigate the world's mysteries. The game also features advanced death mechanics, a stock and organ market simulation, and Punishment mode.
