The Crackpet Show

About

The Crackpet Show is a chaotic rogue-lite shooter where you control mutated animals battling in a gory TV competition. Pick a beast, load it up with weapons, and tear through waves of enemies while dodging massive bosses that love to gut you. Progress unlocks upgrades and perks that let you turn your pet into a flaming bullet-slinging monster. Runs are short and brutal, with randomized layouts keeping things fresh each time you restart. Team up with up to three friends in co-op for added carnage or backstabbing fun. This 2022 release has become a community favorite with a 4.5/5 rating on Steam. Players love the over-the-top weapons like lava-spewing guns and the mix of co-op teamwork and sabotage. The constant stream of randomized content and escalating upgrades makes repeated deaths feel worth it. While the art style and gore might not appeal to everyone, fans of roguelikes and chaotic shooters praise its addictive loop and dark humor. The Switch port also makes it a solid pick for portable bloodshed.

Storyline

Are you ready to get famous? If so, grab your gun and join the most violent TV show in the history of violent TV shows! Participants will have to shoot, smash and rip through hundreds of enemies on their way to victory! Don’t be discouraged by THE GIANT F*ING BOSSES that are more than capable of turning your innards outwards – just grab the best perks and weapons along the way. Make your gun spew molten lava all over the floor, turn yourself into a berserker, and let your bullets bounce between enemies! All these things stack, so you have every opportunity to turn your furry warrior into a raging death machine. You’ll still die, though. That’s just how life is, even for those who wield a rail gun. But who cares about death when your audience loves YOU? Unlike real life, here you can make good use of the likes you receive. Use your new-found fame to help upgrade every item and every perk to deal even more damage when you head out again. Oh, don’t worry about getting bored: every episode of the show is randomized so you’ll never have the same run twice in-a-row. And, when you are completely done with show business, invite your friends and party-up with co-op mode with up to four players! Play smart and synergize with the team or bash their teeth in when they will try to steal your power-ups: every dirty trick in the book is valid, and every strategy works as long as you are having fun. So, are you ready to sign the contract?
