Guts ‘n Grunts is a mid-paced action-packed gaming experience that draws inspiration from retro classics like Contra. And it’s out now on Xbox, PlayStation, PC and iOS.
Brace yourself for intense shooting, underwater escapades, and adrenaline-fueled rolling, all while immersing yourself in a world where pigs fight for their freedom. It comes from developer Cascadia Games, who seem to specialise in farm animal-based action games. At least if their previous release M.A.D Cows is anything to go on.
A pig’s tale of rebellion and liberation
In the dystopian future of April 7, 2060, the Technate rules with an iron grip, creating a race of intelligent pigs bred for their own slaughter. Enter Rudy Hammon, a special boar with a singular purpose – to overthrow the oppressive Technate and put pigs in charge.
It’s here where you’ll witness Rudy’s journey as he takes on mutants, giant robots, and pork-crazed scientists. Why? Well, his mission is to bring down Klaus Küller, the highest-ranking Technocrat.

Game description
Inspired by games like Contra and Turrican, Guts ‘n Grunts is a mid-paced action game with lots of shooting, swimming, and rolling. Find power-ups. Earn upgrades. Fight for pig freedom!
APR 07, 2060. It has been 40 years since the Technate has taken control of the world. In their arrogance and gluttony, they created a breed of intelligent pig. These pigs were trained from birth to self slaughter when they reach mature age. For a time, the Technocrats enjoyed their meat.
Then, a special boar was born — one hellbent on destroying the Technate and putting the pigs at their rightful place atop the tower. His name was Rudy Hammon.
Rudy must destroy the Technocratic infrastructure in his mission to dethrone Klaus Küller, the highest of the Technocrats. Along the way, he will face mutants, giant robots, and pork-crazed scientists who can’t stop eating.
