Bugs Must Die / 异星特勤队

A game with great potential, but so many things are done wrong in this game. Firstly, it is not a rogue-lite game, there is little "random" factors in this game. It is a grind fest, meaning you need to grind endlessly for better equipment so you stand a chance to beat some levels. Balance is horrendous, a shot-gun lose close-range to anything including machine gun and rocket launcher, so why I should pick a weapon that is weaker, with less range and flres slowly? The game itself is really not that hard for the most part, they make it hard by spawning ambushes too often so that when you make mistakes, you lose. They just cannot tell the difference between tedious and hard. Also, enemies can actually spawn right on top of you without any warning.

[b] Bugs Must Die [/b] is a bullet-hell arcade with a lot of content and several playable vehicles. It has 2 different modes that provide several hours of gameplay, although I don't see myself playing the whole thing (see the cons below). The levels in the story mode have a good variety when it comes to objectives and environments. For example, some stages require you to fight a boss or to survive several waves, while other stages actually have 10 to 20 minutes of exploration. By far the best part of the game is the amount of active abilities. It has a huge variety of sub-weapons and primary weapons, including additional abilities like a super attack, weapon modifiers and a 'melee' skill. There are 4 types of currency that can be used to upgrade weapons and your vehicle. You can improve weapon stats such as attack speed, damage and ammo. While the game has some spamming problems, the art style is very enjoyable, reminds me of classic Genesis games. Not to mention that soundtrack is pre...

I'm going to keep this short, because I'm keen to play more of this, but yes, fun indeed. Enemy AI > NEEDS < work though, as the enemies will often get stuck at obstacles. So to the developers, program the enemies to maneuver better, and you'd have a 9/10 from me. But for now? 7.8/10. Glad I got it... Back to it now...

Very fun and deep old style arcade twin stick shooter. It also has a grind loop that makes you feel like your progressing nicely. Most twin sticks are for a short term play experience, this one is a much longer and deeper haul. It's Total Carnage with a helping of Diablo and Gunbird 2. Very fun if you like these style of games. A progression Twin Sticker. Don't think I've played anything quite like it.

I'm loving this game so far. I hope it sells more copies because the devs made a really good game. Killing bugs never felt so good.

I played/streamed the demo of this game. Later, upon release, I purchased the full version, given how much fun I had in the demo. Here are my thoughts: Pros: - Fun gameplay. Reminds old school (seasoned) gamers of the arcade days of yesteryear. - Awesome top down graphics. Colorful sprites and satisfying explosions after pulling off special attacks, melee moves and General tank shooting - Challenging difficultly. Once again, for those that enjoyed the tough games of the retro age, this is a game you’ll enjoy. - Soundtrack. The soundtrack fits each level and boss battle in the game. From upbeat and encouraging to brooding and cautious. - Upgrade systems. Upgrade all kinds of weapons, the damage %, capacity, customize load outs per vehicle used (up to three different variations) and continue to improve yourself as the levels become more and more challenging. - Tutorial. I’m putting this here because some game tutorials tend to lack some vital info, having you smash different but...

A fun and challenging twist on the twin-stick shooter genre, with a really fantastic soundtrack and aesthetic. Love the weapon and vehicle variety, loads of great content on offer here! If you enjoy retro-inspired shmups, then you're in for a treat!

Not a bad game. But there are a lot of bugs and balancing. The campaign is quite short. Some bugs affect the achievement of the game. It is too short a game and it takes a long time for the achievements to pass. Some things are meaningless or make others meaningless. The campaign is difficult at first but then becomes easy. It has great potential but still needs to be developed. I hope there is a second part. They could make the cart move faster. A nice discount game is good.

Such a well done retro style game that pays homage to the roots that it came from! While being able to keep the retro feel, and incorporate modern touches, it balances both old and new in the game play. Hours of fun and challenging replay, just waiting for you, as soon as you press the Start button!

It's a well-made but fairly conventional top-down shooter, with a good variety of enemies, levels, and weapons to use. It's not too easy, that's for sure.
