Pulling heavy influence from titles like Deus Ex and the Hitman series, with an appearance that looks like a Temple OS launch title, Cruelty Squad stands out with its unique visuals and immersive sim design approach.
Cruelty Squad has all the makings of a cult classic, with strong word of mouth going around about the game (as of recording this video, Civie11 mentioned he's doing a video on Cruelty Squad). While it's style has been polarizing, when you're a small developer, you don't need to sell 5 million copies to be considered a success.
It's games like Cruelty squad that give me some hope for the future of indie games, or those in the immersive sim design mold.
In this Cruelty Squad review/analysis/critique/retrospective, we'll look at the game, why it can be so engaging, why it's made such a mark on its audience, and more!
