Shotgun Cop Man Is My Friend Pedro Dev’s New Game About Arresting Satan

The creator of My Friend Pedro unveiled their latest creation, titled Shotgun Cop Man, which is playable on both PC and Nintendo Switch. In this action-packed adventure, the character Shotgun Cop Man embarks on a journey through the depths of hell with the mission to apprehend Satan.

In Shotgun Cop Man, the protagonist is hurled through stages by firing weapons instead of jumping or running. The game’s basic visual design enhances its frenetic action, helping players stay aware of incoming bullets while still providing them with split-second choices on how to dodge them. Sole developer DeadToast Entertainment decided against adding more visual details to minimize “mental effort,” which in turn improved the gameplay experience.

DeadToast expressed that the ease with which the shotgun functioned initially resonated with them. They decided to emphasize the concept of simplicity throughout their game development, focusing on removing or reducing any elements that didn’t align with a smooth, flowing gameplay experience. This is why the game has a minimalist design and a straightforward approach.

In addition to its action-packed gameplay, Shotgun Cop Man offers a built-in level editor, a highly anticipated feature among fans of My Friend Pedro. This level editor uses the same tools that developers have employed in creating all levels within the game. The full version, available through Steam Workshop, will allow players to create their own levels as well. For those seeking a challenge, there will be No Damage and Speedrun modes tailored for hardcore gamers.

The game, called “Shotgun Cop Man,” will be priced at $10 when it debuts on PC and Nintendo Switch towards the end of this year. However, a trial version (demo) is already accessible through Steam. This demo includes 17 different levels for players to experience. As for whether Shotgun Cop Man will also be released on PlayStation and Xbox platforms, that information hasn’t been disclosed yet. But since “My Friend Pedro” eventually made its way onto all available platforms, there’s a chance that Shotgun Cop Man might follow suit.

It could be that the character Shotgun Cop Man can be played on the anticipated Switch 2, however, the specifics about its backward compatibility restrictions remain uncertain at this point.
