For thrill-seekers and those who love fast-paced action in their gameplay, Viscera is definitely one to watch – PCGamesN
Bless Animation Logic for helping keep the twin-stick arcade shooter alive – GamingNexus
Viscera is an arcade-inspired top-down shooter that steps away from the mechanical density of modern games into no-frills mayhem. No crafting, no skill checks, and no dialogue trees – Viscera is all about you and as many guns as you can handle against the unending mutant onslaught.
Unleash your arsenal
Wield over 50 weapons and master the complex perk system with over 80 abilities to create your ultimate build. Choose from assault rifles and high-impact explosives to more esoteric choices, such as gravity guns, lightning turrets, and black hole generators!
Stay on your toes and never get complacent: guns and skills come and go thick and fast, and you’ll need to constantly adapt your approach against the onslaught with each and every new weapon and skill.
Prove yourself
It is the far future. The world of Viscera is harsh, cruel, and relentless. Unending mutants stalk the earth. Humanity is gone. Cities are toppled, infrastructure is abandoned, and life as we know it is over. You are the last man against the horde, and it’s time to make your stand.
Climb the leaderboard on four unique stages with their own challenges and chokepoints, and be the best at withstanding the horde before the inevitable end takes you. Unlock new weapons, abilities, and stages as you complete new objectives and achievements.
This gritty, sci-fi top-down shooter is the culmination of a 17-year game industry veteran drawn to the single-minded purity of classic games. Master your weapons, perfect your build, and get that high score. Viscera is here. Come get some.
