MeowGun: Hell Denizen

MeowGun: Hell Denizen is an action game about MeowMeow, a catgirl and half-demon forced into slave labour by demons. With humanity near its end and MeowMeow longing for another cat, she fights back, starts a rebellion and takes on the demon rulers and their minions. Along the way, you can rescue animals and lost kittens, and discover secrets.

Levels and enemies

MeowMeow’s journey spans 30 levels across demon-infested industrial complexes, cityscapes, decayed forgotten places and snowy northern Finland. The game has 32 kinds of enemies, from Troopers to Demon Knights, Brute Butchers, Dimensional Shamblers and cybernetic Alien Hunters. Each of the five episodes ends with a boss monster encounter.

Weapons and combat

You have 17 weapons with alternate firing modes, including automatic Magnum Pistols, a double-barreled Shotgun, a rapid-fire Machinegun, a Railgun, a guided Missile Launcher and a Plasma Rifle. You can also use three kinds of throwable bombs and Power Meow, which blasts enemies away. Optional gameplay modifiers let you adjust the difficulty.

Modes and multiplayer

Survival mode pits you against an ever-growing demon army in deathmatch levels until the enemies overwhelm you. Up to four players can play local split-screen co-op, deathmatch and survival modes.

Other features

The game includes a Meow button, silly voice lines, a cutegore aesthetic, pop-culture references and a psychedelic, acid, techno and trance soundtrack. Meowpedia is a glossary of in-game statistics, items, guns and enemies, with informative and silly descriptions. An optional 256-color palette shader gives the game a more retro look.
