About the Game

Papa Needs a Headshot throws you into brutal combat where every bullet matters. Each freak you face needs its own brand of pain, and every shot pulls you one step closer to burying a bullet in the man who made you. 

Don’t squander bullets and make each one hurt.

Tear the freaks on your warpath limb from limb. That mechanical limb isn’t just gear; it’s a goddamn force of nature. Roast mutants alive, shatter frozen skulls, or fry the masses until they smell like scorched flesh. The battlefield is your playground. Master the elements and leave nothing behind but scorched earth and a pile of broken bones.

Crush twisted and grotesque bosses to carve a brutal path through the wreckage of your bloodline. 

Pulverize and destroy every living thing before you, and rely on a son’s fury to bring down even the colossal beasts that tower over you.

Papa Needs a Headshot is set in a nightmare dressed in gears and gunpowder. Your path is a dark one soaked in family blood, and somehow, you’ll find a way to make it even darker.
