BDSM: Big Drunk Satanic Massacre (Switch)

Also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows

Irreverent humor is my favorite type of humor.  It got me nearly four solid months in Facebook jail, but damn if it's not funny.  As the name suggests, BDSM: Big Drunk Satanic Massacre is exactly that type of humor.  The basic premise is that Lucifer (who now goes by Lou) got overthrown as ruler of Hell when McDonald's (or the copyright-safe version of it) found a portal to hell in a toilet and expanded into Hell, quickly taking over entirely.  Lucifer then becomes an alcoholic in a dive bar until he develops a murderous grudge against knock-off McDonald's and goes on a killing spree through Hell.

BDSM is neither a particularly long nor a particularly complex game.  It's a twin stick shooter that has you navigate through various levels as you make your way through Hell and to the McDonald's headquarters.  You start with just a revolver, but as you progress through the game, you'll unlock other weapons like a shotgun, an AK-47, a giant penis-shaped laser, etc.  You also get a solid for a one-time-use magic ability pick-up like a shield or minion summoning.  I wouldn't say that it's a particularly strategic game, but you definitely have options on how to tackle any given challenge, and the bosses - especially the final boss (and the secret boss) - do occasionally need to be addressed smartly.

Visually, I was actually fairly impressed with the game.  It's definitely not a big budget game, but for an indie twin stick shooter, the environments were really interestingly designed.  The humor, as well, was just fantastic.  You'll come across various succubus women (plus a Nazi pony and "Not-Hitler") that you can trigger a lewd mini-game with, and that was just the icing on the cake for me as far as humor goes.  I'll never understand why a fandom for a show totally built on "love and tolerance" like My Little Pony is SO infested with Nazis, but there's a TON of them, and this game pokes fun at that.

BDSM: Big Drunk Satanic Massacre is a relatively simple game, but it's a great way to spend a few hours if you're not easily offended by irreverent humor.  I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it, and I'm not sure what the regular price is, but if you can find it for $10 or less on your platform of choice, I would absolutely recommend picking it up and giving it a play.
