About Atomic Butcher: Homo Metabolicus
Atomic Butcher: Homo Metabolicus is a gloriously grotesque post-apocalyptic platformer where you play a mutant freak armed with biological weapons like radioactive poop and vomit to annihilate everything in your path across 13 levels. This retro 2D shooter stands out for its commitment to absurd, unapologetic ultra-violence, 360° aiming mechanics, reactive environments, and ridiculous body-based combat that turns goriness into comedy.
You play the role of a crazed mutant freak, the Atomic Butcher. On your search for food in the post-apocalyptic wastelands, you blatantly destroy everything in your way and finish off a dying society. Resources are scarce, so you turn to the next best thing: meat that is still running around; whether those are dangerous mutated animals, or humans trying to rebuild a broken world does not make much of a difference. On the bottomline, they are all very tasty.
You dish out damage using mostly your own body:
- pee on your enemies,
- use your radioactive poop,
- vomit the hell out of the poor bastards that encounter you, and
- slide and dash into everything.
If that's not enough, you can use weapons lying around in the wasteland, as well as corpses of slain enemies or anything that can be picked up. There are also a lot of deadly traps, but you may be able to use them to your advantage.
The gameplay is pretty straight-forward: kill enemies, eat their meat, find more enemies, repeat. Really, there is not more to it. Yes, the game is very violent, but it does not try to hide this behind euphemisms; it is very blunt about that, which makes this the kind of over-the-top ridiculous gem that we from Das Humankapital like to play.
Beat the single-player campaign in 13 levels stretched over 5 environments. Become the perfect weapon of mass digestion: the Homo Metabolicus. There are approximately 7 hours of gameplay waiting for you. But beware, it's not made too easy!

Story
… humanity finally managed to destroy itself: The world has ended.
The details have long been forgotten … a great collapse, mass madness, cannibalism, no more free wi-fi. After the downfall, strange beings emerged from the radiated, poisoned remains …
Beings such as you: Ages ago born as a human in the old world, then changed into something else, mutated by radiation and toxic waste. Your brain has been completely fused with your intestinal tract, and combined with your superhuman strength you have become the perfect weapon of mass digestion. Behold the next step in human evolution: “Homo Metabolicus”!
Endlessly you roam the wastes, deranged and on a mad quest for fresh meat … a scourge for the few surviving pockets of humanity, a walking manifestation of all that lead us to our end in the first place, pure desire for instant gratification and hunger, you are only known as
…the ATOMIC BUTCHER!
An epic struggle of gastronomic proportions is about to ravage what is left of the world! Be the one who might end it all, for better or for worse!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Atomic Butcher: Homo Metabolicus is a 2D platformer with unconventional 360-degree aiming mechanics that players find stylish, fluid, and genuinely enjoyable once they master its movement and combat abilities. The main criticism is that it doesn't substantially differ from the free original 2004 version, though some appreciate the modernized take while others preferred the older game's simpler aesthetics; the game carries a handmade indie charm that adds character despite occasional rough technical edges.
Hi! My name's Sasha Zenko. I'm from Belarus. I am making hardcore letsplay videos handsfree (using only my chin). I have a program that allows me to assign keyboard controls to mouse movements. I play your game. It's very good. I like it. Watch me playing your game without hands here: https://youtu.be/p1OrSd0AjYI8 found this helpful
It's not really much different from the OG game. And you can get that for free.3 found this helpful
2D Platformer with 360 Aiming, it's all in the title my friends, and you'll have to find out what the 360 aiming will be for. A new kind of platformer you haven't seen before! It's all kind of nasty and dirty, that's why I enjoy it! Wreak Havoc everywhere and take a golden shower on everyone.1 found this helpful
So ive finally beaten this game and it was quite hard, but once you learn how to use the abilities like dash, slide, jump, piss and some patterns for boss fights its very enjoyable and smooth. But why am i even talking about this? Atomic Butcher h. metabolicus is a sequel or resumption of a 2004 platformer shooter of the same name, which I have not played, but from what i ve seen the sequel is just the same idea but much better. Both games are basically diy project of two enthusiasts, and that's a bit visible on the technical state of the game, but it also adds a certain charm and originality. For me it became one of my top favourite games, for several reasons. Firstly i am a fan of 90s/00s era games like Abuse 1995 and this just fits perfectly in terms of style, but also adds something new (if you mind 4:3 crt ratio, its probably not for you). Secondly finding something more over the top, crazy ,violent and unconventional would be very hard. The soundtrack composed by two members of Austrian black metal band Locus Neminis is just awesome mixing metal, industrial and techno. But lets also mention some downsides of this game, forexample the sound of Flying Meat Skull is ridiculously…
It's kind of fun, I prefer the old free version of the game from back in the day though. You can still find it out on the web. It had better, simpler graphics and the Butcher didn't look so retarded. Same gameplay for the most part but I prefer the look of it and the smaller character sprite. I have fond memories of being a broke alcoholic and playing this game a lot decades ago.
Be the contents whatever your personal perception of truth is, but the style is impeccable and movement with the game's mechanics feel fluid.. Also, the story seems like a flash warning.. if not an allegory for the modern societal issues.
