"The game takes place on the set of a new competition show that challenges entrants to survive gauntlets of enemies and deadly traps, earning points for how entertainingly they get past it all. That world is set up through a series of cutscenes mostly resembling the aesthetics of a late-night Adult Swim cartoon. King of Meat goes all in on a lighthearted, jokey tone, poking fun at pro wrestling, reality TV, and video games all at once, and for the most part, it works."

King of Meat places players on the set of a violent, wacky competition game show that rewards entertaining survival through gauntlets of enemies and deadly traps. The game opens with lengthy, Adult Swim-style cutscenes that establish a jokey tone poking fun at pro wrestling, reality TV, and video games. Platforming and combat form the core gameplay alongside multiplayer matches that feature an announcer, abundant loot, and chaotic moments. The humor often gives the experience personality beyond a typical brawler, but pacing and relentless in-level tone can make sessions feel overwhelming. The strong premise may still limit long-term co-op appeal.
