Ever looked at a shotgun and thought, “Yeah, but what if I used this to FLY?” Well, the absolute lunatics over at DeadToast Entertainment (yep, the same mad geniuses behind My Friend Pedro) are back, teaming up with Devolver Digital to bring us Shotgun Cop Man. In this game, you, a gun-toting law enforcer, descend into Hell to do the impossible: arrest Satan. Because sure, why not?
Hell Is a Playground, and Your Boomstick Is the Jungle Gym
This isn’t just another run ‘n’ gun platformer. No, no, no. Your shotgun isn’t just for making demons go splat. It’s also your main mode of transport. In Shotgun Cop Man, every shot you fire propels you through the air, launching you over lava pits, past bloodthirsty demons, and into the depths of the underworld like some kind of ballistic ballet. Your gun is your jetpack. Your pistol is your pogo stick. Your bullets are…your best mates, really.
If that doesn’t sound like pure, unhinged joy, we don’t know what does.
Precision Platforming With a Side of Mayhem
Expect tight, chaotic, hair-tearingly tricky platforming that rewards skill, quick reflexes, and a slightly worrying disregard for physics. Whether you’re blasting through the hand-crafted campaign or proving your absolute dominance in the No Damage and Speedrun modes, there’s no shortage of ways to flex your demon-slaying, shotgun-surfing skills. Oh, and if that’s not enough? There are user-generated levels, too, because the internet loves suffering.
Get a Taste of Hell (For Free!)
If you’re already foaming at the mouth to start arresting Satan, good news! There’s a 17-level demo waiting for you on Steam RIGHT NOW. The full game is set to explode onto PC and Switch later this year for the devilishly low price of $9.99.
So, what are you waiting for? Get in there, start shotgunning yourself through the underworld, and show Hell what real law enforcement looks like.
(Shotgun Cop Man is coming soon. Satan, consider yourself warned.)
