Sept. 2025

The Crackpet Show, developed by Vixa Games and published by Ravenage Games alongside Ripples Asia Venture, delivers a wildly entertaining and chaotic roguelite twin-stick shooter experience that combines fast-paced action with a quirky, darkly humorous narrative. Set against a bizarre, post-apocalyptic backdrop, the game plunges players into a twisted world where mutated animals are thrust into a violent reality TV competition. This unusual premise not only sets the tone for the game’s irreverent style but also adds a satirical edge, poking fun at the spectacle of reality television and the extremes contestants endure for fame and fortune. From the moment you jump into gameplay, The Crackpet Show hooks you with its frantic, adrenaline-pumping action. The twin-stick shooting mechanics are straightforward enough to pick up quickly, yet the game doesn’t shy away from demanding precision and quick reflexes as you progress. Players get to choose from a roster of mutant animal contestants, each boasting distinct abilities and playstyles, which adds variety and encourages experimentation. Beyond the basic shooting mechanics, the game offers a range of weapons and perks to customize your approach, making each run feel fresh and uniquely challenging. The roguelite structure—with its randomized levels and unpredictable enemy encounters—ensures no two playthroughs are alike, fostering a high replay value that keeps players coming back for more. One of the most memorable aspects of The Crackpet Show is its bold and unapologetic art style. The cartoonish, exaggerated visuals pair perfectly with the game’s over-the-top violence, creating a blend of grotesque yet humorous aesthetics that carve out a distinct identity within the shooter genre. This visual identity is further enriched by a soundtrack featuring a new main theme composed by Jerome Rossen, known for his work on Happy Tree Friends. The jazzy tunes juxtaposed with the chaotic, bullet-hell style gameplay add a layer of personality and charm that sets the game apart from other roguelites. This combination of sound and visuals makes the experience not just about surviving waves of enemies, but about immersing oneself in a world that’s as entertaining as it is brutal. In addition to the main campaign, The Crackpet Show offers an Endless mode that challenges players to survive against never-ending waves of enemies. This mode is a welcome addition for those who enjoy testing their endurance and refining their strategies, providing a different kind of satisfaction beyond the narrative-driven campaign. Whether you’re looking to beat your high score or simply revel in the chaos, this mode adds longevity to the game’s lifespan and invites continuous engagement. While the game has been praised for its engaging gameplay and unique style, it is not without some technical hiccups. Certain players have reported performance issues such as frame rate drops and occasional long loading times, particularly noticeable during intense boss encounters. These problems can occasionally disrupt the flow of the experience but do not detract significantly from the overall enjoyment for most. It’s worth noting that these issues may be tied to specific hardware setups, and patches or updates may continue to improve stability over time. Overall, The Crackpet Show stands out as a fun, energetic, and distinctive addition to the roguelite shooter landscape. Its inventive concept, combined with fast-paced gameplay and a strong sense of humor, makes it appealing to both fans of the genre and newcomers looking for something fresh. The game’s emphasis on chaotic, high-intensity action balanced with quirky storytelling and vivid artistic choices ensures it leaves a memorable impression. Whether tackling the brutal challenges solo or diving into cooperative play with friends, The Crackpet Show promises an engaging and wildly entertaining ride through a twisted and unpredictable world.
