About the Game


Step into the carnage-filled world of Rip & Tear, a brutal top-down 2D arcade shooter in which your trusty shotgun is all that stands between you and the hordes. Inspired by Doom's gruesome violence, this adrenaline-fueled carnage sets you against infinite waves of hideous demons, cultists, and biomechanical freaks in a bloody battle for survival.
With every shell you fire, limbs explode, walls are painted red, and the ground is littered with the remains of your enemies. There are no fancy weapons, no gimmicks—just you, your shotgun, and the relentless onslaught of hellspawn.
