About Chop Shop
Chop Shop is an adrenaline-fueled arcade adventure where you run a fast-paced butcher shop. Developed by Hermit Gamesmiths and released in March 2026, it’s available on PC, Linux, and Mac. The game tasks you with hunting tiny, fuzzy monsters, hacking through their meaty remains, and prepping meals for impatient customers. The twist? Everything moves at breakneck speed. Whether you’re slicing a gelatinous cube or deboning a squirming slimespore, precision and reflexes are key. It’s a chaotic, cartoonish take on survival cooking that thrives on momentum and quick thinking.
Gameplay
You start by luring monsters into your shop, then dispatching them with a rapid combo of clicks and swipes. The real challenge kicks in during butchery: you must slice through wobbly, animated carcasses while dodging flailing limbs and explosive organs. Cooking follows, with timers that demand split-second timing. Upgrades let you boost blade speed or automate tasks, but the core loop stays frantic. Sessions feel like a dance between efficiency and panic. Controls are tight, with a focus on rapid mouse movements and keyboard shortcuts. The game rewards muscle memory over strategy, and mistakes mean angry customers storming out.
What Players Think
Critic reviews rate it 87%, praising its addictive rhythm. Player ratings average 4.3/5, with 72% completing the game.

Achievements include 35 total, with 65% of players earning over 20. One review calls it “the fastest-paced kitchen simulator ever,” while another gripes, “I died to a sentient dumpling.” The community leans into its chaotic charm, with memes about “slime-based butchery” flooding forums.
PlayPile's Take
Chop Shop is a $29.99 thrill ride for those who love chaotic, high-difficulty arcade games. It’s not for casual players, its relentless speed and punishing timers will frustrate many. But if you crave a game that rewards reflexes and precision, this one hits hard. With 35 achievements and a completion rate of 72%, it’s clear the challenge is part of the fun. Stick with it past the first few levels, and the rhythm clicks into place. Not impressive, but a sharp, short burst of fun for the right crowd.
