The world of indie gaming keeps getting brighter, and the latest gem to shine is Shotgun Cop Man, a delightful side-scrolling precision platformer announced by Devolver Digital in collaboration with DeadToast Entertainment. Fans of fast-paced action will want to keep an eye on this one as it rolls out for Nintendo Switch and PC in 2025, with a demo currently available for PC players!
In this fiery adventure, you take on the role of a cop armed with an arsenal that doubles as your means of movement. The mission? To arrest Satan himself! Picture leaping through hellish landscapes while dodging pesky demons and cleverly designed traps. With every shot propelling you forward, mastering your movement becomes central to survival. It’s not just about shooting; it’s about using your wits alongside your weapons.
The gameplay promises more than a handcrafted campaign filled with over 150 levels. Players can also tackle intense boss battles, attempt no-damage runs, speedrun challenges, or even try to defeat all enemies in record time. What truly excites me is the built-in level editor combined with Steam Workshop integration—this will allow players to create their own hellish playgrounds and share them with the community.
Key Features
Firepower Propulsion: Master your movement through twisted corners of hell as every shot propels you forward. Whether dodging enemies, scaling walls, or leaping impossible gaps, your weapons are crucial for both survival and traversal.
Explosive Campaign and Challenges: Engage in an action-packed campaign across more than 150 levels while facing off against fierce bosses. Then challenge yourself further with No Damage runs or Speedrun attempts!
