Butter Royale is set in the near future where traditional weapons have been banned globally. Replacing guns and rocket launchers in the game are kitchen-inspired implements like sauce-shooting blasters and Breadzookas.
Players are air-dropped in to a random location on Butter Island with only a stale baguette for defence. They have to acquire a “Nutrionally Operated Machines” or NOMs and engage in a food fight with others that they encounter.
At regular intervals, the “hot butter” flows, tightening the playing arena so that players are forced to encounter each other. The aim of the game is to be the last one standing.
