The Culling Of The Cows casts Sammy, a farmer convinced he has a divine mission to wipe out a spreading infection on his land. Its deliberately unhinged premise frames a side-scrolling shooter around shamblers and ravenous cattle, with the threat described as chaos spilling from the big city into the countryside. Sammy’s grim task gives the action a darkly comic, rural-horror identity rather than a conventional military setting.
Play combines fast-paced shooting with strategic tower-defence gameplay. Sammy carries a 12-gauge shotgun, while the game’s herds of shamblers and infected cattle supply targets to push back. The store description lists forty levels and says the challenge grows after an easy-to-pick-up start, suggesting a structure built around short action encounters that also ask for tactical attention. Full controller support and a cheat console are among its listed features; achievements are also included.
The Culling Of The Cows is listed as single-player, so its play format is a solo campaign rather than a cooperative or competitive multiplayer match. Its defining appeal is the unusual pairing of frantic farmyard combat with strategic play and an eccentric, apocalyptic premise.
