Charlie Murder

Charlie Murder follows a punk band fighting through an apocalypse to stop rival death metal band Gore Quaffer and its forces. Players take the role of a band member in a side-scrolling beat-'em-up, alone or with up to four players.

Fight enemies with character-specific attacks, combos, grabs, weapons, and special abilities. The journey also includes music-themed minigames, and the story offers a choice of endings.

Collect equipment and relics to improve character stats, and use tattoos to gain special powers. Earning fans unlocks finishers and team-up moves, while playable characters and their abilities provide different ways to approach combat.

Players often praise the game's distinctive art, punk-rock soundtrack, and lively beat-'em-up combat, with many describing it as a memorable return to a game they played earlier. Reviews also highlight character customization and the fun of playing with friends. Some players report that solo combat can be punishing, while online co-op is frequently criticized for connection problems and bugs.
