Meatgrinder is a fast-paced, First-Person Shooter / Run-and-Gun hybrid action game made by indie studio VampireSquid, one which the stuido proudly promotes, "No cutscenes, no storylines, pure action"... and boy does it live up to it's claims.For the lack of a plot; it's a post-apocalyptic world out there, roaming with all kinds of thugs and murderers, you're a gun-totting, bloodthirsty biker wielding all sorts of weapons, and you have your eyes on a rival gang's convoy passing the desert, filled with supplies and goodies you need and plenty of faceless mooks to kill. So you do exactly just that in a lengthy rampage as you swiftly jump atop speeding trucks, trains, through the bowels of giant monsters and eventually on planes.Also, you need to keep moving, or else you'll die. Because prior to the game's events, your enemies have removed your heart as a sort of punishment, that you barely survived, with you replacing your absent cardiovascular system with an engine powered by your legs. As such, you will have to watch your adrenaline and ensure you're always on the move and kicking ass.Contains similarities with Clustertruck, another indie game based on vehicular chases from a first-person POV.

Gatling Good: You can lug around a minigun and vaporize mooks through use of More Dakka. It's easily one of the best pickups the game grants you.

Sequential Boss: "Crazy" Charles, who's not a person but a heavily-armored trailer truck with three segments. You'll need to destroy all three segments, each having it's own (small) life bar, before you can damage the main truck itself.

Traintop Battle: The train chase inevitably leads to you shooting enemies while on a train. And you even need to jump in an adjacent train at times because there are giant worms trying to devour the train you're on!

comment
Sand Worm: In the middle of a high-octane chase, one kaiju-sized desert worm pops out of the sands and suddenly swallows everything, including you, in a single gulp. Cue the Womb Level. Appears as an obstacle in the desert chase stage, where giant worms will suddenly pop up and attempt swallowing the train you're standing upon.

Bolivian Army Ending: The final stage's plane chase, after destroying all the planes, sees you with nothing else to land on, ends with you retrieving a chest containing... your beating heart. Then you realize you're still falling.

Grappling-Hook Pistol: Your character has grappling hook launchers in the heel of his boots, that he can launch to help him latch and cling to the back of vehicles between jumps. He can even use his hook to snatch unfortunate mooks and hurl them to their deaths.

comment
Outside Ride: You spend every single stage in the entire game (save for the Womb Level) kicking ass while clinging to the top of trucks, trains, and assorted vehicles. Thanks to your dash, you'll spend most of the game leaping from above one vehicle to another. The final stage have you jumping atop planes.

Womb Level: As mentioned above, one stage is set in the stomage of a giant Sand Worm that suddenly pops up and swallows everything. You'll need to leap on crates, trucks and other objects floating in the worm's stomach acid while trying not to fall and shoot at smaller (but still human-sized) intestinal worms.

Shout-Out: Your character's first line have you quoting Roddy Piper's "Chew Bubblegum" line from They Live!. Latching a mook with your boot's grappling hook and yanking them off to their deaths will have you commenting, "Get over here!" On the ground-based desert chases, the enemy vehicles looks suspiciously similar to those from Mad Max: Fury Road.
