Cruel seems to be influenced by Blood 1+2, Hotline Miami, Chasm, and Action Doom 2. The shotgun and shooting the heads off are very Chasm-like. Blood 1's influences are seen in the enemies and weapons, and Blood 2's influences come from the apartment levels, the killer trip lasers, and the Uzi weapon. We've been seeing a bunch of games influenced by Blood 1 lately, whether it's Blood West, Caesar's Revenge, or Cultic. A shame that Blood itself hasn't seen a proper sequel or reboot just yet. Still, it's nice to see that Blood continues to influence indie game developers to this day. Imagine if the developers of all these games teamed up to create a retro-3D remake of Blood or a re-imagining of Blood 2. All in all, I'm impressed with what solitary game designers could create in this day and age.
Got to the end. Love that enemies get taken out by traps. Wouldn't be surprised if they could shoot each other to. Would love to see more weapons and level environments. Enemy variety is pretty great can't think of anything missing that would add to the game esthetic
If they ever did end up adding levels with different enviroments, some alternate looks for the enemies would be fun. Throw a hawaiian shirt on the shotgun guys or something else like that
I really like that the healing resource is also used for progressive upgrades; gives me Gungeon vibes where you get more and more rewarded for being a complete G at the game
@AlphaBetaGamer BB of the "[Body part] of the Ki ller" finally succumbed to her urges and became the serial ki ller she fought so desperately not to become :(
At first I was like "Oh, it's like Anger Foot but retro style and without hardstyle techno" but then after hearing the music in level 2 I was just like "yeah, it's retro Anger Foot"
I saw this while looking for rogue likes yesterday, and I was amazed that I had never seen anything about the game. Now all the sudden this guy makes a video? Please get out of my walls.
Now that's an interesting use of 3d models presented and animated like they were 2d sprites. It kinda has it's own unique flair compared to the outright mimicking of 2d/PS-era 3d that's so popular yet so often misses the mark.
Those pig imp things look exactly like the ones from MediEvil I was going to ask if this had anything to do with Cultic but now there's baboons and I'm confused
I know I have requested this before, but I do not recall if you ever responded. Would it be possible for you to construct a playlist of all the free-to-play games you have covered? I’m presently unemployed and looking for free games to play. I appreciate that you upload one from time to time, but it is always spontaneous, and I can never recollect which ones are free. Having a dedicated playlist would make things much easier for me and others in a similar situation.
I'm sorry for your situation friend. I was in a similar situation a while ago, and that's when I discovered the vast world of Doom Wads. If you liked the game you saw in this video, or you like retro-shooters in general, I recommend that you take a look at the wads the community has created for GZdoom. There are many awesome jobs, with full campaigns lasting hours and hours, with new weapons, monsters, effects, and more, there really is plenty of content to play on the doom engine. I hope you can go back to work soon!
You're playing well compared to the other videos I've found. The only thing that bothers me is that you can jump in the game, thereby bypassing the claymores.
if i had a nickel for every game in my steam library, that is about a roguelike game, quickly shooting through hallways using a starting revolver and healing with soda, I would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice.
This looks like a stupidly fun game. I do have one complaint though and that's the shotgun sounds a bit anaemic. Let it boom so loud it bursts my eardrums!
you mean, did he do multiple run before recording? i think yes, because abg gameplay always been well played and doesnt feels like first run or random gameplay (and this is the reason why i like abg channel)
I can't help but feel like this game was somehow influenced by the "Madness" series on Newgrounds. Hilarious game, made 20% cooler right from the elevator sequence + synthwave.
The spider emerging from the bathroom after flushing the toilet implies things beyond my paygrade as a biologist.
Worry not good sir...we have technology!
-casually blows the spider away with double ought buckshot-
HI, I'M DEREK BUAM, SAY GOODBYE TO DAILY STAINS AND DIRTY SURFACES WITH NEW, KITCHEN GUN!
0:19 really mature, ABG
Haha, yeah, it kinda backfires on me at the end too!
I mean, it asked...
Next time, someone has to write "His name is not important."
@@ruffalo1643 that guy dies in the end of his game, blowing up a nuclear station Chernobyl style, so I don't think you can kill him again.
Come on, as if you didn't write the same thing. I'm not going to lie, because of course I wrote the same thing. 🤷♂

Blood remake or sequel cant even image how it would be great
There's also the survivors-like, Bloodshed, which released last month in EA.
Also, gamplay-wise (and a little bit aesthetically) it’s IMO inspired by Post Void and/or Mullet Mad Jack
@@kambucket6838 Anger Foot too.
Any game influenced by Blood is a game I buy Day one. I love Blood 1.
“Woe be unto those who pursue cruelty, for there is always a bigger fish in the sea, and there is always greater cruelty to come.”
Cruelty squad
The sight of a low-poly pomeranian upending a can of cola is endlessly amusing to me.
*YAP*
That is a representation of Gabe, an internet famous dog who passed away.
It's not good to drink cold beverages while playing this game.
But a little cruel-tea is fine. :)
I see what you did there.
How about some Cruel-aid?
Sometimes it's okay to take a shot in the dark.
It'll let you beer into the unknown. :^)
DAMMIT! I meant to hit the dislike button...oh well🙃👍
Tell me that before, now i have a sugar rush.
At first i was like "why you need to go that fast" then i saw the room behind you lit on fire

Every time I see a cultist, I hallucinate a bundle of dynamite
Cultic, I'm guessing?
I'm seeing lots of different influences here. But what's good is that they are put together in a very satosfyong way.
Wouldn't be surprised if I heard a "Crudux cruo!" from one of those human enemies.
MARANAX INFERNUM
EN MARANA DOMUS BAAVHA CRUNATOS
just edit with some voice samples after rendering the gameplayvideo ^^
Post void and wield a Mullet like Mad Jack, but it bleeds.
This game just feels so right man, it itches a scratch for hours with extreme unwavering consistency.
I would do unspeakable things for a proper Blood remake.
Glad to see it hasn't been forgotten.
Look up cultic, its a new serie in development thats heavily inspired by Blood
@ Played it when it came out. Enjoyed every second of it and I need MORE.
@@rokva5771 i get you! *me too*
The crosshair spinning during reloads is a small but very cool detail
the guy going through the window at 29:00 was a cool effect!
Ok the fast action and dog sold me
it can be said that it is a very good game design that integrates health recovery items, currencies, and the number of times you can retry
I really like that the healing resource is also used for progressive upgrades; gives me Gungeon vibes where you get more and more rewarded for being a complete G at the game
Why is the OST so hard though wtf. Literally about to just download that rn.
Anger foot
That and Post Void.
Post Void definitely
The distinct doorkicking and linear pathing of this definitely gives off Anger Foot vibes ngl
5:35 "You were caught stealing Fuzzy lifting drinks! You get NOTHING! GOOD day, sir!"
dialogue voices and some effects are like cruelty squad , very fun game !
Cruel-ty squad.
It's just missing tea and squad, my favorite parts crom Cruelty Squad tbh.
The New Doom/Blood Looks lit tho
I love the art direction and environments here
I've been a fan for a few years and absolutely love the unique style of your videos. Keep on being the voiceless Master of Everything. 😁
Jack of all trades, master of none.
The combo system makes me want to play Serious Sam for Gamecube again.
What happens if you type "you"?
great art style in this game the hand in the revolver viewmodel is really good
Ah yes
Alphabet A Gamer.
didnt know a pure letsplayer could do this well this day and age. Very nice to see.
Loving the cult like enemies inspired by Blood
I already see memes using CEO names on that first screen
Love seeing games inspired by Doom and Blood!
I prefer more Blood,Doom is just too used..
The game's more like Post Void...
Fast action games like these are interesting. Like most things that become common in the gamespace, I'm curious to see how it will be iterated upon.
Cool game. Like mix of blood with hotline miami and post void.
I'm guessing some enemies from Blood migrated to Cruel?
Wildly fun game!
Them chibi Robo sounds on the gambling option got me nostalgic
It’s like post void, but visually darker
This feels like Madness Combat if it were 3d as a first person shooter
This game looks like a lot of fun. Anyone know what engine it's built on?
Love the beautiful art style. Hand painted textures are my weakness when it comes to gaming, and for 10 quid i might give this a go. Cheers!
That soda looks like it tastes like TAB.
Anyone? In the world?
Splendid >:)
I'm yet to actually try a boomer shooter but the temptation is definitely growing...
Is this from the same guy who made that driving game?
That's exactly what I was wondering!
5:53 I don't think carrying around that AXE will remove your body odor...
It can remove a body though!
@AlphaBetaGamer BB of the "[Body part] of the Ki ller" finally succumbed to her urges and became the serial ki ller she fought so desperately not to become :(
Great job from both of you.
Masterful jokes.
Dope game! Thanks for showing it!
This game is guaranteed to MARANAX your INFIRMUX.
At first I was like "Oh, it's like Anger Foot but retro style and without hardstyle techno" but then after hearing the music in level 2 I was just like "yeah, it's retro Anger Foot"
Oh wow the explosives were one thing but they just have swinging blades now. This apartment is messed up
So many health and safety violations!
@AlphaBetaGamer Yeah if you didn't show up several would have died on their own. Plus I'm sure a fire would have broken out still
all I could think of, seeing them pile out into the halls, was "who tf lives here"
My landlord just installed guillotines and he still wants 1300 a month! Unbelievable...
@@jacobharryman822 Well at least he lets you own guns and doesn't complain when your pet monkey breaks a window when he wants to come inside
crudux cruo!
Soundtrack is awesome
Huh...this is like as if both lumpy touch and germfood did a collab and made this game.
Guess they put the cruel in cruelty...
How you start each level reminds me of evevator action.
Whoa ho ho ho. Do I see a true Blood successor here?
Okay I kinda like the idea of having to pay one healing item to earn/reroll power-ups.
YAY IT'S FINALLY OUT
Very Perfect Gameplay.
I saw this while looking for rogue likes yesterday, and I was amazed that I had never seen anything about the game. Now all the sudden this guy makes a video?
Please get out of my walls.
Getting mullet mad jack vibes and i love it
Very nice! :)
The music gives me Madness Combat vibes
Kinda BLOOD
Looks fun.
коридоры + комбо. Медитативно, но однообразно. На вечерок. Такие игры раньше назывались shareware и раздавались бесплатно.
Как приятно, что в коментах вспомнили про Blood и doom.
Opening reminds me of that one driving game where you fill in what your wish is at the start. Wonder if it's the same dev?
I don't think so. It doesn't link to it when you select his name.
Game seems fun would be cool if you got specific areas based on the name/text you give
*Ранний доступ или фулл эдишен?*
Dude, how do you come up with those puns? What's your secret?
Now that's an interesting use of 3d models presented and animated like they were 2d sprites. It kinda has it's own unique flair compared to the outright mimicking of 2d/PS-era 3d that's so popular yet so often misses the mark.
Those pig imp things look exactly like the ones from MediEvil
I was going to ask if this had anything to do with Cultic but now there's baboons and I'm confused
Blood 1 cultists and zombies eh? Wish there's a new blood game or remake
getting alot of blood and chasm the rift vibes from this with a hint of Hotline Miami
3:30 bro is NOT v1 ultrakill
These are not coins wdym
@@Furifromfuture66i mean he tried puching a bullet
I really like the concept of this game. It reminds me of the House of Dead.
Looks like the same awesome mechanics as Post Void, a lot of hotline miami influence and same atmosphere as blood but with a lot more replayability

Played the demo.. it's a really good boomer shooter
Its like if Duke Nukem got transported into the Blood universe
Reminds me of Anger Foot but with a few extra...steps ;)
Is this Blood 3
The shotgun looks like the shotgun from Chasm.
if i had a nickel for every game in my steam library, that is about a roguelike game, quickly shooting through hallways using a starting revolver and healing with soda, I would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice.
seems old, but gold
Like a slower more sophisticated Post Void.👍👍
Horror movies if the MC locked in:
Soundtrack goes off the fucking charts
The sounds are so good
This looks like a stupidly fun game. I do have one complaint though and that's the shotgun sounds a bit anaemic. Let it boom so loud it bursts my eardrums!
Awesome game. Its got all the right moves.
I was pretty surprised when I gambled and was killed by Erik. My name is Erik.
Did you played this game before recording? Because it looks like that to me
you mean, did he do multiple run before recording? i think yes, because abg gameplay always been well played and doesnt feels like first run or random gameplay (and this is the reason why i like abg channel)
@@abdulrasyiid Yeah I think his videos wouldn't be as enjoyable if he spent time looking around, trying to find where to go or what to do.
Reminds me a lot of Madjack and Post Void
This is dead cells but Dog, i dig that
This is absolutely amazing also have a great day everyone :)
I can't help but feel like this game was somehow influenced by the "Madness" series on Newgrounds. Hilarious game, made 20% cooler right from the elevator sequence + synthwave.
Definitely a bit of Post Void influence, minus the migraine inducing visual style, and Dusk with the gun flipping
Is the developer night of the consumers ? :) Cause this looks fun
