Sadist 2

Sadist II: Final Scream is a cult brutal "sandbox" from 2000 - a chaos simulator with a horror and massacre vibe and a tongue firmly in cheek.

You create or load a 2D terrain with hills, pits, and your own background, edit it by hand, then release dozens of characters onto it. They can fight in teams, flee, panic, or do exactly what you tell them. You pick your weapon - from bazookas and shotguns to anvils, lasers, or napalm - and shoot with the mouse, or take direct control of a single character from the keyboard.

You can change the weather, trigger storms and earthquakes, flood everything with blood, draw terrain on the fly, and save your own levels. Characters react to their surroundings: they fall off cliffs, drown, burn, lose limbs, and fight each other according to aggression rules you set. Dozens of weapons and "attractions" are at your disposal - from lightning bolts and air strikes to throwing bricks, corpses, and bonus crates.

The game also offers a timed mode for those who like a challenge, plus rich customization options - custom characters, textures, and backgrounds.

The latest 2026 release is an updated version with a few bug fixes, new description files, a refreshed title screen, and a ready-to-go DOSBox wrapper - no configuration needed. Just launch the icon and start the massacre. It runs on Windows 10 and 11, and reportedly on Linux too. And above all, from version 1.10 onward the game is available in English!

Sadist II is for anyone who appreciates creative destruction, distinctive character physics, pixel art and blood, a huge range of options, and the freedom to experiment. Simple in concept, endlessly deep in possibilities. If you enjoy creating your own chaos scenarios, this game was made for you. Download it and find out why players have kept coming back to this bloody, absurd, and shamelessly fun sandbox for over two decades!

For non-Windows systems there's a solution too.

Since the game comes with DOSBox configuration, and DOSBox is cross-platform, nothing stops you from running it in DOSBox on any other system: Linux, BeOS, macOS X, and so on. If needed, download the DOSBox build that suits your platform.

The game is an open source project. If you wish to look at the game code, it is available on my github: https://github.com/GadZombie/sadist2
