Evil mega-corporations. Overpowered nerds. Raunchy demon mistresses. Nazi ponies. A boatload of booze. It’s all in a day’s work when you’re the son of Satan. These are just some of the features that players can look forward to in Big Way Games’ upcoming game, BDSM: Big Drunk Satanic Massacre.
BDSM: Big Drunk Satanic Massacre is an isometric, twin-stick shoot ‘em up that combines equal parts violence, gore, and crude satire to create a game is not afraid to push the envelope. In BDSM, you play as Satan’s alcoholic son, Lou. Hell becomes overrun by an influx of vile humans, driven by the rise of Big Wac, an evil fast-food corporation that has been harvesting demon meat to use in their addictive burgers. It’s up to you to put an end to the depraved humans so that you can return to your debaucherous ways. Lou is specifically on a mission to rescue the hottest demon mistress in Hell from a fat clown who, unsurprisingly, is the leader of Big Wac and is the game’s main boss.
Along your journey through the underworld, you’ll need to stay fueled on milk, which apparently has magical properties in Hell. The lactic liquid acts as a cure-all that helps sustain Lou as he mows down a variety of bosses and minions. The enemies you encounter range from leather-clad sadists and Latin American mafia bosses to overweight gamer nerds, Nazi bronies, and even some familiar YouTuber look-alikes. There is also a swastika-wearing military fellow whom the developers clarified is certainly not Hitler.

BDSM Hands-On at PAX West 2019
I had a chance to go hands-on with BDSM: Big Drunk Satanic Massacre during PAX West 2019. I will say that it is definitely a game that leaves a lasting impression, like a mysterious stain on your couch after a house party.
BDSM takes a no-holds-barred approach when it comes to shock value. In the brief time I spent with the game, I got to experience nearly all of the wacky enemies mentioned above while exploring dank alleyways and bustling brothels. Lou wields a number of different weapons, including phallic guns and explosive rocket launchers. Each weapon has an alternate firing mode to switch things up. The shooting mechanics felt quite smooth on a mouse and keyboard, but I’m hoping it will play just as well with a controller.

The game is so heavy-handed in its edgy satire and crude humor that you actually get used to it after a while. It was not until the developer guiding me through the game activated a minigame that involved repeatedly clicking on a photo of a nude demon to get her to climax that some of the game’s shock value returned. Yeah, the game goes there, loud moans and all. But only if you’re playing on the NSFW setting, which ensures you’re getting the most mature content BDSM has to offer.
BDSM: Big Drunk Satanic Massacre is not for the easily offended. The game takes the unhinged satire of South Park and amplifies the ridiculousness to create a wacky shooter that aims to please. BDSM will open the gates of Hell on PC, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on October 10, 2019.
