Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a hack and slash action-adventure video game developed by Angry Demon Studio and published by Wired Productions. The game was released on August 29, 2024, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.




Development


Gori: Cuddly Carnage is developed by Angry Demon Studio, an independent game development studio from Sweden. The game was first unveiled in IGN's virtual Summer of Gaming event in June 2020. In April 2022, Angry Demon initially announced a Windows release in 2023 with England-based publisher Wired Productions serving as its distributor. In September of the same year, Angry Demon Studio CEO John Kalderon announced that the game will also head to all major consoles alongside Windows. In April 2024, after several delays, it was announced to be released on August 29.
On October 29, Angry Demon Studio released a Halloween update which included a "Free For All" mode, Twitch integration, and a Mandarin Chinese voice-over option. Physical copies of the game for both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 was also announced, but is only available for players in the United States and the European region.




Controversies


On June 25, 2024, prior to its release, the game had to be censored in Japan as its too violent for players in that region. In response, Wired Productions toned down the visceral violence, changed the natural red-colored blood to "purple toy juice" and removed some "dead humans". Two weeks after the censorship in Japan, on July 9, the home console ports for the Chinese and Korean markets were also affected.




Reception



Gori: Cuddly Carnage received "generally favorable" from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic. T.J. Denzer of Shacknews gave the game a 9, stating: "a bizarrely fun story of sentient cats and killer hoverboards." GameSpew's Richard Seagrave rated the game a 8 out of 10 saying that it's "a good, old-fashioned, stage-based action game that's a blast from start to finish."
The game scored 72 from Jaz Sagoo of CogConnected. Ken Talbot of Nintendo Life gave Gori: Cuddly Carnage a 6 out of 10, praising the character designs and stylish gameplay, but criticizing its comedic tone as vexatious and cartoonish art-style a hit or miss.
