About the game — TGN editorial note

Released in 2021, Cruelty Squad is a tactical first-person shooter from Finnish independent studio Consumer Softproducts, run by artist Ville Kallio, and built with the Godot engine. Players are a biologically augmented assassin carrying out black operations for a corporate security firm, with stealth elements woven into missions. Its deliberately abrasive, surreal look stands out, and its themes satirise capitalism, corporations and the gig economy.
