Would Cruelty Squad be cheating?
Wow that art style is... something
It's like... 2001 shareware shitpost flavored.
Yeah. A lot of the UI seems to be intentionally bad. It's actually a pretty hard game. A good example is reloading. You do this by holding right click, moving the mouse down then up and letting go of right click. I think the visual parts of the experience speak for themselves from the screenshots but my point is that even a lot of other stuff in the game is just wack.
There's another one with a similar kinda vibe (the vibe being "shitpost but it's a video game") called Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengence of the Slayer. I haven't played it but it looks great. Er... Gameplay wise anyway lol.
Looks like its going for a vibe similar to the original Doom! That trailer on the steam page was amazing.
