Total Carnage for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) is a top-down arcade shooter game that falls into the run and gun genre. Players battle through hordes of enemies in a dystopian future, rescuing hostages and collecting powerful weapons. With a style reminiscent of the game Smash TV, Total Carnage features chaotic, intense gameplay, where quick reflexes and strategic power-up management are crucial to survive. Cooperative multiplayer adds to the frenzy as players can team up to navigate through relentless waves of adversaries and challenging bosses to achieve victory.
