Cruelty Squad is a phantasmagorical first-person shooter with horror elements, in which the developers deliberately made “terrible” graphics and “disgusting” controls. You will act as an emotionally dead fighting substance. As you progress, you will complete objectives to kill various characters. There are stealth elements and many weapons, including shotguns, assault rifles, pistols, machine guns, a radiation emitter and a device that releases poisonous gas. In the game you can also throw toilet bowls at your opponents. The enemies are a variety of characters: security guards, police officers, psycho freaks, flower hybrids, swamp cultists and mutant dogs. In each mission you have to plan your action plan and study locations.
