Hatred is an isometric shoot 'em up video game developed and published by Destructive Creations that was released on June 1, 2015 on Microsoft Windows. The player-character is a misanthropic mass-killer who begins a "genocide crusade" to kill as many human beings as possible. The developer described Hatred as a reaction to video game aesthetic trends such as political correctness, politeness, vivid color, and games as art. Its October 2014 announcement trailer was characterized as "controversial" by multiple video game journalists. The game was shortly removed by Valve Corporation from their Steam Greenlight service due to its extremely violent content but was later brought back with a personal apology from Gabe Newell. It was greenlit for a second time on December 29, 2014 and released on June 1, 2015.

Upon release Hatred received generally negative reviews in video game press. Many critics panned the game as being repetitive and lacking variation, also criticizing its violent and controversial nature, although some minor praise went towards its gameplay and mechanics. The game nonetheless became a best seller on Steam.

Gameplay

Hatred is a shooter video game presented in isometric perspective in which the player-character is a mass-murdering villain who "hates this world, and the human worms feasting on its carcass" and embarks on a "genocide crusade" against the entire human race. The player can carry three weapons and an assortment of grenades, as well as drive some vehicles. Health is regenerated by performing summary executions on incapacitated people; the moves made to kill those victims involve cinematic switches of camera perspectives.

If the player is killed, the level restarts entirely unless the player completed additional sidequests that provide a limited number of respawn points. The character's voice acting is deliberately kept to a minimum, with his ideology and motivations largely left open to interpretation.

Plot

The plot of Hatred revolves around a man whose name and background are not given, with him only known as "The Antagonist". Disgusted by human society and general existence, the Antagonist decides to start a "one-way trip" spree of killings in New York City.

From his neighbourhood up to 1 Police Plaza, the man leaves behind himself a trail of death made up of civilians and law enforcement officers, forcing protectors of society to hunt him down and put an end to his murderous mission. During a train escape from the police, he plans to carry out his mission by committing suicide and bringing millions of people to death, blowing up a nuclear power plant near NYC. For this, however, he needs Composition C plastic explosive, which he gets by storming Fort O'Connor military base, exterminating several guards, and then heading to the atomic power plant.

He manages to enter the nuclear power plant, killing security guards and overloading the nuclear reactor. Shortly before the end, arriving soldiers shoot him multiple times in the chest while he laughs victoriously. As he collapses, severely injured, and close to death, he activates the trigger; the power plant explodes, shaving NYC to the ground and killing millions of people. His mission is thus completed.

Development

Hatred is the first game by Destructive Creations, a video game developer based in Gliwice, Poland. Most of the company's staff previously worked at another Polish developer, The Farm 51.

Destructive Creations announced Hatred on October 16, 2014, releasing the game's controversial trailer. The developer described Hatred as a reaction to a trend of political correctness in video games, and sought to make a game that eschewed politeness, colorfulness, and games as art. In this way, they sought to make a game that recalled the industry's history as "a rebellious medium" and surface-level entertainment with no insertion of "any fake philosophy". While the trailer was intended to be provocative, Destructive Creations CEO Jarosław Zieliński did not anticipate the large reaction and the amount of supportive fan mail. He added that he did not think the trailer crossed a moral boundary, and that those who disagreed could choose to not play it. In an interview with Vice's Motherboard, Zieliński noted that the dark ambient music within the game as well as the character design were intentionally made to be devoid of joy, stating that "I don’t want to justify anything. I want the player to ask: why." The game uses the Unreal Engine 4 game engine and Nvidia PhysX physics. The Unreal logo was removed from the trailer at the request of the engine's developer, Epic Games.

The player character's dialogue was written by Herr Warcrimer, vocalist for Polish death metal bands Infernal War and Iperyt; the song "Particular Hatred" by Iperyt appears in the game. The voice for the player character was provided by a voice over actor using the pseudonym "Clint Westwood"; Zieliński claimed the actor "wanted to stay anonymous". Instrumental songs from Norwegian death metal band Blood Red Throne also appear in the soundtrack.

The team chose to work on a single platform due to the team's small size, hoping to distribute the game through Steam and GOG.com if allowed. On December 15, 2014, Hatred briefly appeared on Steam Greenlight, but was removed, with a Steam representative stating that the company "would not publish Hatred". On December 16, the game was returned to the service, and an apology to the development team was sent by Gabe Newell. Following this, it became the most voted game on the service and was approved successfully on December 29.
