Discover Games

Summary

Butcher is a fast-paced 2D shooter game and a blood-soaked love letter to the early 90s. As a cyborg programmed to eradicate the last remains of humanity, your sole purpose is to well... annihilate anything that moves. So grab your weapon of choice (from chainsaw, through shotgun, to grenade launcher) and kill your way through underground hideouts, post-apocalyptic cities, jungles and more. And if you're feeling creative, there are plenty other ways of ending your enemies' misery - hooks, lava pits, saws... no death will ever be the same.

Blizzard has weighed in on the two issues players have had with The Butcher since he dropped into Heroes of the Storm last week. They confirmed that his unstoppable charge move is bugged “and will be fixed with an upcoming patch.” As for his gameplay balance, they said he is “nowhere near underpowered or overpowered.”

Heroes Of The Storm Makes The Butcher From Diablo Scary Again

If there’s a single phrase I’d associate with the original Diablo, it’d have to be: “Fresh meat!”
