Butcher physical

After it was previously distributed through the Switch eShop, Butcher is now getting a physical release. Red Art Games has announced a new partnership with Crunching Koalas and Transhuman Design on the boxed edition.

Butcher first launched for Switch in September 2017.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition isn’t the only Switch game from Crunching Koalas with an update. A new patch is out for Butcher, too. The game has been upgraded to version 1.0.1.

The new Butcher update is primarily intended to fix crashes. Crunching Koalas also eliminated three white pixels that were appearing in the left-lower corner.

The 2D shooter Butcher is now available on Switch as an eShop download. Take a look at some footage below.

Following Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition, Butcher is arriving on the eShop today as Crunching Koalas’ next Switch game. Watch the launch trailer below.

This week is turning out to be very packed for Switch eShop games. And it looks like we can add another title dropping on Thursday, in Europe at least. The Switch eShop is listing Butcher from Crunching Koalas on September 28.

We first found out about Butcher when Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition’s eShop listing appeared. Crunching Koalas published that one as well. As for Butcher, it’s a “fast-paced 2D shooter and a blood-soaked love letter to the cult classics of the genre.”

Here’s a trailer for Butcher:

Crunching Koalas has two new games lined up for Switch. The studio will be bringing Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition and Butcher to Nintendo’s console at some point in the future.

Lichtspeer describes itself as “an unforgiving fast-paced lightspear-throwing simulator set in an ancient germanic future.” On Switch, a new and exclusive co-op mode has been added in.

Butcher was previously released on other platforms, similar to Lichtspeer. The tough 2D shooter has players taking on enemies and defeating them in all sorts of ways.

We’ve included overviews and trailers for Lichtspeer and Butcher below.
