Cruelty Squad is a tactical first-person shooter developed by Consumer Softproducts, released in 2021 for PC. Players control a combat-substance-fueled operative working for Cruelty Squad, a morally bankrupt subsidiary company contracted to carry out corporate wetwork — assassinations and target eliminations on behalf of a larger conglomerate. Missions take place across environments including offices, suburbs, police stations, and secret compounds, each offering multiple viable routes and approaches. Equipment loadouts can be customized before each mission, with an arsenal spanning flechette shotguns, dart guns, corrosive gas launchers, radiation emitters, and more, alongside both lethal and non-lethal options. The game offers no guidance and demands independent problem-solving. Additional systems include a stock and organ market simulation, hidden levels and equipment to uncover, NPC dialogue, time-attack S-ranking across replayed missions, advanced death mechanics, and a dedicated Punishment mode. Enemies range from private security and police to swamp cultists and mutant dogs.
