Two teams. One river. Nobody can cross it but your hook. Butcher Hook is a fast team brawler for hulking butchers armed with hooks and chains. Move along your own bank, find the angle, lead your shot and fling a chain across the water. Land a hook to deal damage and knock your target back. If the hit would finish them, you drag them across the river for the takedown. EASY TO PICK UP, HARD TO PUT DOWN • Drag on the left half of the screen to move and on the right half to aim. Let go to throw. • Hooks charge your Super. Fire it at the right moment to turn a fight. • Health regenerates when you stay out of trouble, so every catch counts. 66 BUTCHERS, EACH WITH A TWIST Every hero is a brute in a leather apron with their own colours and gear: sack hoods, iron muzzles, welding goggles, bandanas and flat caps, plus a cleaver, meat hook, mallet or butcher's knife. Each has their own hook (damage, speed, range, catch size and recovery), their own Super and a Passive that unlocks at level 5. Reflect hooks back at the thrower, parry and strike back, drop minefields, rewind three seconds, call down meteors, grow to giant size, blow every enemy chain back across the river, or hook an ally out of an enemy's grip. 18 WAYS TO PLAY Rumble 5v5, Duel 1v1, Duos 2v2 and Knockout 3v3, plus Frenzy, Gem Rush, Bounty, Siege, Boss Raid (co-op against a giant boss), Classic (every hook kills), Hot Zone, Treasure Hunt, Mirror Match, Giant Slayer, Jailbreak, Super Chaos, Bomb Tag and Tug of War. New modes unlock as you climb. 13 ARENAS From Whispering Woods and Frozen Peak to Candy Kingdom, Haunted Swamp, Crystal Caverns and Pirate Cove. Later arenas change how you play: narrow rivers, wide channels, and pillars and shipwrecks that stop hooks dead. PLAY ANYWHERE Tap PLAY and you're in a match in seconds, online or offline. Create a private room, share the 5-character code, pick Blue or Red and brawl with friends. Quick-chat emotes let you say GG without typing.
