Pigslaughter for Mac: A Comic-Book Roguelike Where Office Supplies Become Weapons

Pigslaughter on Mac: revolt in a very corrupt office tower

Pigslaughter is an indie top-down roguelike wave-survival shooter where your battlefield is a sealed corporate skyscraper and your enemies are an endless pipeline of pigs in suits. It’s drawn with a printed, comic-book look that makes every desk collapse and every muzzle flash feel like it came straight off a panel.

The premise is gleefully blunt: Pig Prime Holdings has been draining the pension fund, you found the second ledger, and Compliance responded by locking down the building. Your job is to hold the floor as long as you can, turning the tools of office life into a violent audit.

The corporation has infinite resources. You have a staple gun.

Pigslaughter’s tone is what sells it: corporate satire pushed into action-movie absurdity. The game leans into the feeling of being outgunned and outnumbered—then hands you a ridiculous arsenal and dares you to make it work. Runs typically escalate from “barely surviving” to “HR would like to have a word,” as your build comes together through upgrades and stacked perks.

Four playable employees, four different playstyles

You choose from four characters—each with their own perk and signature ability—so the early-game rhythm and the late-game “power fantasy” can shift dramatically depending on who clocks in:

The Whistleblower: fired analyst who saw too much.
The Dropout: burned-out middle manager.
The Dissident: blacklisted union organizer.
The Ghost: ex-corporate spy.

If you like roguelikes where character choice meaningfully changes your options (and not just your starting weapon), Pigslaughter is built around that replay loop.

Twelve floors, relentless waves, and executives on a timer

The structure is simple and punishing: 12 floors, with 100 waves each. Every floor comes with its own layout, hazards, and mission flavor, moving from the Open-Plan Office and Server Farm up through places like an Executive Penthouse, a Founders’ Museum, and a Rooftop Helipad.

The environment isn’t just set dressing. Hazards can be used tactically—lure pigs into shredder pits, live power grates, grease fires, laser grids, and other corporate deathtraps. This gives Pigslaughter a satisfying push-and-pull: kite enemies into danger, break line-of-sight around cubicles, then dash in to finish a wave before you get surrounded.

Every 20 waves, a Pig Prime executive arrives. Take down the fifth executive to close out the mission and “audit” the floor—assuming you’re still standing.

Weaponized office supplies and build stacking

Pigslaughter’s arsenal is committed to its theme. You’ll find weapons that sound like jokes until you’re using them to clear a hallway:

Staple guns and presentation lasers
Rubber band snipers and memo cannons
Clipboard boomerangs
Lawsuits and golden parachutes

Between waves, enemies drop evidence you can spend at the Black Market. From there, you’ll sign upgrade cards and stack perks into a run-defining build. If you enjoy the “numbers go up” satisfaction of roguelites—where one lucky synergy can turn desperation into dominance—Pigslaughter aims squarely at that feeling.

Difficulty modes, destructible offices, and replay incentives

Pigslaughter is designed around repetition and mastery rather than a one-and-done campaign run. You get:

Three clearance levels: Normal, Crunch Time, and Death Audit
Destructible offices: desks, cubicles, and server racks degrade, break, and short out
42 achievements and personal records tracked in your Personnel Files
Steam Cloud saves for bouncing between machines
Full controller support, plus keyboard and mouse

And yes, the soundtrack understands the bit: “Please Hold” elevator bossa nova that pivots into faster, heavier energy when the shift starts.

Mac performance and platform notes

Pigslaughter supports macOS on both Apple silicon and Intel. With modest storage needs and no explicit discrete GPU requirement, it should be approachable for a wide range of Macs—particularly M-series systems.

Should Mac gamers play it?

If you’re into top-down shooters with roguelike buildcraft, short-session structure, and escalating chaos, Pigslaughter has a strong hook: a sharp theme, clear goals, and a satisfying loop of survive → upgrade → overwhelm (until you don’t). It’s the kind of game that makes “one more wave” feel like a bad decision you’ll happily keep making.

This is your moment—clock in and take back control.
