Beetle Uprising

One of the levels for combat is someone's shallow grave. This is a super simple colony sim game with some base building elements, basic RTS combat and very straightforward genetics / breeding mechanics. Super enjoyable for fans of simple strategy games or those interested in the genre but need something less complex. The art style is peak too. Gives me a 2005 "my turn for computer stations" in second grade vibe.

Very early review but oh well. So far it's a pretty basic strategy game. get beetles with high stats via breeding them, fight off hoards of enemies or destroy spawn points in some missions and avoid losing the mission, and so on. One thing I find interesting is that the UI gives heavy mobile game vibes.

The most confusing game I have ever played. When you start you get a few big walls of images and text explaining the UI of the game and how certain things work (instead of an immersive gameplay tutorial). Once you have read everything you are left there with 2 starter beetles and the task to guess what comes next ... Of course you would go straight for missions and other things on the map. The beetles often failed and they always brought back only food. But your beetles Bronk and Hedgwir here need beds and toys to fill up their sleep and play bars ... that's a problem ... neither of those items were obtained after doing these missions TONS of times. They both got increasingly angry (orange then red) and then they didn't want to go on any more missons. End of the game there? For me it was because I'm not continuing on that. You don't either have 'goop' to fight the first enemy or a way to level up without waiting 10 years. Feels like a bad version of an idle game. My advice: go for a...

I really like this game. It's a little under-developed, but what's here is certainly playable. I'm really enjoying building my beetle colony... It's so cozy to play. Seeing beetles chill out with each other in your custom-built nest is great. And I like the random patterns each beetle can have. While the genetic system is a bit confusing, it's ultimately the most complex part of the game and requires some special paying attention to for obtaining the best beetle stats. Combat is pretty much as basic as it comes, so the strategy really comes from managing your beetles so that they are prepared for battle. It's more of a cinematic experience than a skill-based one, you see? Here's my issues: Although I wish there were more at-home events, or ways to bond with your beetles. The music is really generic, which makes it terrible. I would've loved some atmospheric, relaxing fun. The opening cinematic and its story are... Really lackluster and terrible. I mean, windows movie maker-t...
